cheek to cheek

years ago, there was a live-action beowulf movie which starred the highlander as titled protagonist. it was so-so and forgettable, but i have vague memories of the grendel monster looking like an alien. anyways, fast forward to now and we've got a new and way better adaptation of the epic poem. by the power of the marriage of computer-generated imagery and motion-capture, the filmmakers have made a groundbreaking step towards the future of film. and the only way to fully experience what this movie was meant to be, they released it on 3d. and so, with cielo in tow (or vice versa), i ignored my sore eyes and found out for myself what the fuss was all about. allow me to tell you the tale...

it was the 14th of october, 2007 a.d., dusk. our story begins in the pillars of peopesupport as our intrepid hero, jaiskizzy, leaves the fortress after a day's work of slavery. soon, he is joined by the fair princess cielo of pateros and the two of them brave a bus ride to the famed kingdom of moa to watch a presentation of the epic, beowulf. but alas, they failed to arrive in time for the seven o'clock showing and just settled for the next one.

having bought their tickets, they killed the hour by eating at greenwich and exchanging slices of their lives. when the clock struck nine and a half, they lined up to enter the theater and secure their seats. upon entrance, they were handed optical aids which later appeared in several unauthorized photographs.

grendel's mom and grendel.

cielo: pierced tongue
jai: tied tongue

after the three-dimensional spectacle, they exited the theater, left moa, and went their separate ways home.

the end...
