[Stoat]

 

I’m not too sure about that, judging from the fact that my friends and I had a ‘girls night’ where we went to see the movie 300. Apparently blood and epic warfare can be popular with even the girliest of girls as long as nobody’s wearing a shirt, especially if one of those people is Gerard Butler.

LMAO!   You're right of course.  When I said "most" women would probably not be interested, I tried to leave my statement open ended enough for diverging opinion.  No offense was intended, and I'm glad that you and your gal-friends apparently enjoyed '300' as much as I did, although probably for different reasons   :-)

My only problem with the way Beowulf looks is that Angelina is the WRONG person for Grendel’s mother. She’s supposed to be scary in the ancient-monster-hag way, not the frighteningly-large-lips way.

hehehe!  Being a male stoat I hadn't noticed her lips in a negative way, but in all honesty I usually have a tough time being critical of ladies  :-)  With Hyzenthlay as Casting Director, who would you have cast for the part?

Cast as Grendel’s Mother? Helen Thomas, of course.

I don’t know... anyone who’s good at acting, especially in situations where there are green screens and spandex outfits and not a lot of realism on the set, and then she could just be digitally monster-ised afterwards. Even Angelina might have been OK if they hadn’t made her look so much like... Angelina, and more like an old female monster-thing, like Grendel’s mother in Beowulf & Grendel was pretty good IMO.
