beowulf hurt my face

Just got back from Beowulf. Honestly, it wasn’t bad. Pretty true to the story—as I remember reading it in 10th grade anyway. Seamus Heaney did a relatively recent new translation that I’ve been meaning to read for awhile now, but I digress.

I’d say if you are going to see it, it’s worth seeing it in 3D. Here’s hoping your special glasses don’t leave you with a headache and a painful mark on the bridge of your nose.

EDIT: Also, there was an old, heavyset guy sitting in the row in front of me who started snoring to beat the band about 7 minutes into the previews and didn’t stop until the credits were rolling.
