Anyone watch this? How accurate is it to "Beowulf"?
I enjoyed the story on the TV show, but the acting and special effects are horrendous!
I only watched it because I have always wanted to read Beowulf, but never got around to it. Looks like I will have to make the time to get these awful images out of my head from the TV show.

Is it based on Beowulf, or is it based on Grendel, a more recent novel about the eponymous monster?
If it's based on Grendel then I could definitely see how it would be low-budget B-movie... 
(That's the first time I've ever needed to use the word "eponymous")

In the TiVo description it just says "based on the poem". I assumed they meant Beowulf.

Do you mean John Gardner's Grendel? And if so, you don't appear to be a fan. I love this book- it's one of my all time favorites.

Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.

That's one of the more finely crafted sentences I've seen on MacNN in a while.

Do yourself a favor and rent "The 13th Warrior." It flew under the radar when it was in the theaters, which is a real shame. It's a great movie.

I'm thinking Citizen Kane II: Roseblood. In which Kane comes back for revenge against those who would not give him the love and approbation he so desired in life.
