I finally saw the stunning Beowulf in 3D--Amazing! I didn't understand why no one had thought of bringing this epic English story to the screen before. What amazes me is that the original author of the story is unknown--who the hell wrote Beowulf?!?! I believe it was penned sometime in the first millenium. I doubt that the writer of Beowulf could have ever guessed that his (or her?) story would be enjoyed by those living in the third millenium.
On a side note, as I watched the movie, caught up in the troubles of fighting the first antagonist Grendel, I kept thinking of the Philippines' version of America's Next Top Model. Ur, the show is called Philippines' Next Top Model. The winner of the show is a lovely Filipina named...Grendel. What were her parents thinking naming their daughter after a legendary monster?

I'll name my son Gollum then .. haha
Maybe because they knew Grendel would also grow up to become a legendary monster?
Oh that's funny. Well she looks better than the candidates in the American version anyway.
I went to school with a girl named Paisley. No relation to Prince as far as I know.
Um. I don't think the real Grendel looks much more realistic than the CGI folk.
