Nice!

neutral · AI labelView post →Something I learned today is that Reacher man himself Alan Ritchson was the body and face model for that 2007 Beowulf CGI movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Reading some of the commentary on the Odyssey movie, I'm reminded of how lucky it felt to be doing Beowulf as a kids' book, in that you kind of can adapt an older morality (harm foes, help friends) because you're depicting kids, for whom that sensibility is natural.
neutral · AI labelView post →New from me: Furiosa is a.) a good movie b.) an attempt to process the dark, weird experience of living in the 2020s c.) an epic in the Beowulf or Gilgamesh mode, d.) all of the above. The answer, of course, is D. This movie captures RIGHT NOW perfectly. episodes.ghost.io/furiosa-revi...
neutral · AI labelView post →this essay on Beowulf and the film Sinners is so good. #medievalsky "Reading across Beowulf into Sinners provokes a host of enlivening questions for both works. Above all is the ambiguity of what it means to be a sinner."
neutral · AI labelView post →I had this idea around my head of a Bimbo MILF inspired on Angelina Jolie's character on the Beowulf movie. And then my gooner brain said: MIX IT WITH QUEEN MARIKA
neutral · AI labelView post →You can see this in how e.g. the Gaiman Beowulf movie tries to make him a complex character. I'm all for new stuff in adaptation, but at least for me, you sacrifice the idea of an emblematic hero when you do that. Ironically, setting it for kids makes it easier to preserve this quality.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dan Olson's Jarhead sequels video is an interesting watch. Not because it dives into the jingoistic sequels to a not jingoistic movie, but because Dan references Beowulf 1999 in it.
neutral · AI labelView post →My 12th grade English teacher showed us this movie in class cause she thought it was a faithful retelling of Beowulf
neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film. 📚=🎞️ Eaters of the Dead (1976) adapted as the 13th Warrior (1999). A film that takes the real life accounts of Arab diplomat Ibn Fadlan regarding his mission to the Volga Bulgars and his encounter with Vikings. The legend of Beowulf is intertwined into this account. #booksky #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →We have nonfiction! Sanjana Feasts should be massive, it’s a vegetarian/vegan cookbook by an author with a huge social media following. Michael Smith’s medieval translations need the Beowulf treatment. Someone can make 13th century werewolf fic work, right? Especially with the Robt Eggers film soon
neutral · AI labelView post →I realize don't post about Beowulf too often, but here's a scene from the 2007 film I want to talk about. Let me tell you, this scene is one of the most badass climactic moments in fantasy I ever saw. Alan Silvestri's score and Ray Winstone's performance ESPECIALLY helps. And this was rated PG-13!
positive · AI labelView post →Good news! Screambox is acquiring my goofy-ass Beowulf movie BAE WOLF from BayView Entertainment, meaning more people will get to marvel and cringe at all my terrible ideas. Details soon. BAE WOLF is also on Tubi, of course: tubitv.com/movies/64284...
neutral · AI labelView post →I rewatched that uncanny valley imagemovers mo-cap Beowulf movie and was surprised how much I liked the script treatment on a watch through. It was respectful to its source material but had a solid three act structure. I wonder who adapted thi- NEIL GAIMAN?? FUCK
positive · AI labelView post →Beowulf Dragon (Movie) on canvas - will be done in acrylics… with shiny golden details ✨ This one was a tricky one, as you can see from all my erased restarts lol I’m pretty happy though with how he looks. He is my all time favorite dragon ever’
neutral · AI labelView post →name film flop that you wish had done better at the box office #filmsky an Arab trader (played by, uh... Antonio Banderas) goes on a "realistic" reimagining of the Beowulf adventure, and it's a great time all around, even with that generic-ass retitle also, Ravenous kicks ass--go see it
neutral · AI labelView post →I know it wasn't highly acclaimed, but I loved that movie, lol. Ahmad ibn Fadlan meets Beowulf -- it's unique.
neutral · AI labelView post →What a lot of people don’t realize, of course, is that Old English is markedly different from E. Modern Eng… by ~1000 yrs. But what a lot of pedants don’t seem to realize is: when a hotshot director says they’re going to have their movie in Old English, they mean Ye Olde Tymey Sounds, not Beowulf
neutral · AI labelView post →I genuinely think if you took Maria Dahvana Headley’s translation of Beowulf and gave it a Baz Luhrman Romeo + Juliet spin you’d have a banger of a movie on your hands.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lmao Mr B is watching Beowulf on Peacock, and there’ll be this super tense scene with guys threatening each other and drawing weapons that cuts off immediately into an ad for a Minions movie where they’re yelling “BAPOOTA LIBOOBIE” or whatever
neutral · AI labelView post →Sofia Coppola's Beowulf. I keep trying to talk myself into something with slightly more hinges but honestly we deserve a colorful movie with a bonkers modern rock soundtrack and a long speechless scene of Wiglaf watching Beowulf's pyre.
neutral · AI labelView post →45. THE 13TH WARRIOR takes Crichton's EATERS OF THE DEAD, his great faux de-mythologizing of Beowulf, and adapts it squarely as an action-adventure swashbuckler, but it could've easily been made as a horror movie. One could argue that BONE TOMAHAWK is pretty darn close to what EATERS might've been.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tank Girl is not a good movie, but Lori Petty is absolutely delightful in it PLUS it has a soundtrack featuring Face to Face and Beowulf
neutral · AI labelView post →It's important to note that Beowulf in that film was actually a Frankenstein of: Ray Winstone's voice Alan "Reacher" Ritchson's body & "Jesus Christ's" face I'm sure that's *someone's* fetish. Got to be.
neutral · AI labelView post →I liked Predator: Killer Of Killers but I feel like the Predator vs Vikings sequence feels like a wasted opportunity. A feature length Predator movie that's also just a retelling of Beowulf would rip.
neutral · AI labelView post →On #WorldTheatreDay2025, wishing the ever-majestic Julian Glover a very happy ninetieth birthday! Although famed for his film and television work, his stage work shines; his one-man BEOWULF is rightly legendary, and I’ve seen him perform in both Shakespeare and Racine! #DoctorWho #Hammer #Bond
neutral · AI labelView post →'Predator' is not dumb either! It's a reboot of Beowulf AND a Vietnam movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched the trailer for the 2007 Robert Zemeckis Beowulf and I'm absolutely gobsmacked they let that movie come out like that
neutral · AI labelView post →A little of that sort of take did remain in the film. The audience sees Beowulf kill Grendel with the help of several other warriors and a big chain, then late in the movie Beowulf insists that he ripped Grendel's arm off in single combat.
unlabelledView post →All of the palettes in this movie, from most of the locations to the interiors to the costumes, would have made perfect sense in a Beowulf adaptation, but were absolutely ???? in the context of the Odyssey (with the exception of the visit to Hades, which I LOVED).

unlabelledView post →"Laugh Of Lambert". I recently watched Beowulf (1999) and realized Chris Lambert does the same laugh in all his movies. I guess its a running joke online. 
unlabelledView post →I never saw that Beowulf movie. I had no idea it was one of those Robert Zemeckis, Mocap movies, what the fuck?
unlabelledView post →Just watched ‘The 13th Warrior’, with Antonio Banderas, and that is a severely underrated gem of a movie. Like ‘Seven Samurai’ mixed with ‘Beowulf’.

unlabelledView post →Anyone remember Angelina Jolie as a golden demon-thing in the movie ‘Beowulf’ and she had these gnarly back-talons that made her have built-in high-heels? Interesting times. Was just re-visiting this movie. Had some stunning scenes!
unlabelledView post →POV I have just done my impression of Crispin Glover as Grendel in the 2007 film Beowulf
unlabelledView post →You ever think about how the only good film adaptation of Beowulf is the kinda sneaky one starring Antonio Banderas
unlabelledView post →If they made another Beowulf movie then Hoyts could rebrand as Hwaets and make a popcorn bucket that's Grendel's arm.
unlabelledView post →I'm watching the Zemeckis version of BEOWULF for the first time, and god damn, it looks like a Shrek movie. #Filmsky
unlabelledView post →I think the cultural impact it has is that it proofs that adults do want to see a full feature animation in the theater that is aimed for adults and isn’t a kids comedy. Cameron succeeded where Zemeckis failed. Beowulf crawled and stumbled so Avatar could run.
unlabelledView post →Don't worry guys, there's an alternate timeline in which none of this is happening rn, AND we have a Beowulf movie adaptation helmed by Robert Eggers As soon as I figure out trans-dimensional travel, I'll post the schematics here
unlabelledView post →It says something that I'm definitely a lot more here for a Beowulf movie from Henson Studios from the POV of Grendel than I am about any more bloody LOTR.

unlabelledView post →Of all IP’s to adapt in this particular day & age of banned books, AI, ChatGPT & algorithms someone decided it’d be a good time to make a film about The Odyssey? What’s next? The Iliad? The Aeneid? Beowulf? Rig Veda? Shahnameh?THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH?

unlabelledView post →Getting the website ready for the rad black-and-white version of my goofy Beowulf movie BAE WOLF. Coming in 2025 from BayView! www.baewolfmovie.com
unlabelledView post →It's based on Michael Crichton's retelling of Beowulf by combining it with the Ibn Fadlan travel memoir, so be prepared for the weird orientalism of a 90s movie starring an Arab Muslim POV character played by Antonio Banderas
unlabelledView post →You've got a really limited window to introduce your children to the action novel intersection of Ahmad ibn Fadlan and Beowulf before you lose them. We've lost the ability to make movies that draw them back into thriller novels.
