That sweet uncanny valley

 

So I came into the middle of Beowulf (2007), and was trying very, very hard to get past the uncanny valley to decide whether I’d like the movie or not. Then, Beowulf took the offer that Grendel’s mother gave him.

For a second, I thought about twittering a billion WTF?s! What is THIS??? Then I realized…

Hold me, Mommy!

If Grendel’s mother looked like A. Jolie and made me the same offer, I wouldn’t say no, either. So the movie might not be any Beowulf that I know, but at least it’s not unbelievable. If he’d turned her down, THAT would have been unbelievable :-D

But I stopped watching after that, anyway.

LOL! I almost watched this movie on FX. But then I noticed that Star Trek was showing on Epix and realized that I could use a couple hours of Chris Pine. Yum! And bonus, the movie was better the second time around.

Lovin’ DEMON BLOOD btw!

Have a great weekend,

lol I skimmed through that movie right at the part where she was making that offer to him. I thought that look like Angelina Jolee. Demon Blood was an awesome read! Stayed up all night to finish it. Have a great Monday! – Amanda
