IF you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

beowulf

November 18, 2007

to mark my return to the world of the living, i watched Beowulf last night. i think i understand why robert zemeckis opted to make a 3D graphics rather (your best option is to watch this in an IMAX theater folks) than a live action version of this film. it would have been a logistical nightmare to film all those monsters and have human actors interact with them.

the film deviates from the literary epic that i'm more familiar with (i remember struggling mightily to understand some of its difficult passages back in high school), but it does have an interesting take on Beowulf himself.

it was a little jarring to see ray winstone as this muscle-bound Viking adventurer. i guess i've been used to seeing him as Costello's middle-aged thug (he plays mr. french in The Departed). angelina jolie amps up the screen as Grendel's mother, but for some reason it's robin wright-penn's Queen Wilthow that lingers in my mind.

coming up for air

after a self-imposed 1-week hibernation (relatively speaking), i’ve just realized how a detached approach to life can lead to illusory impressions. for example, i used to think i was pretty much self-sufficient and fairly comfortable with solitude — and in a way i still am — but lately, i’ve become more convinced that i’d probably go bonkers if i don’t go out and immerse myself in something different every once in a while.

case in point: i have this neighbor (who lives one floor below) who likes to prattle endlessly about the little details of how her day went. this used to drive me to nuts (chalk it up to my usual impatience and hurry to get somewhere else). These days, however, after spending hours in front of my laptop with only DVD tapes to relieve the monotony of my routine, i find myself curiously interested in her stories.

well, maybe not enough to go through this blather on a daily basis, but every once in a while it makes for an interesting variation. i just wish she’d spare me the list of what she ate for the day though.
