Beowulf the one with christopher lambert wasn't all that bad. .I mean If you forget anything you may have ever read about the song of roland.. just pretend it has a different name and it somehow becomes just another crap movie that he's been in.. although I did like the setting it was shot in both visually and conceptually. my main question is how exactly did Lambert get to be an 'action' star.. almost as mind boggling as Bruce WIllis's transformation from moonlighting to what he's doing now (although obviously he pulled it of and is a vastly better actor). anywhoo! as to the sci-fi channels' grumble.. er.. grendel.. yeah.. waste of electrons.. (although! one upside of the digital age is that they are not actually wasting physical film in making shit like that). and I dunno it was slightly better than that dragon king hunk of shitnit.

Damn I hoped for once the movie was based on John Gardner's Grendel, the book from the monster's standpoint, and probably was the inspiration to the musical Wicked. That would be inspiring. But Sci-Fi Network continues to suck.

Wicked is a Musical? as in the book from the 'wicked' witchs' point of view? if so.. I think I'm going to have to renew my theatregeek membership card.

Um... the book Wicked was the inspiration for the musical Wicked.

What sucks more than most can know is, with the money, staff, time that they used...and the talent that is actually out there waiting and wanting for work, they could have made an AMAZING film (not just some piece of crap to take-up time and sell commercial spots) & paid them LESS.
Want to know why they do not... it hurts the egos of talentless fucks who are in higher positions who use their influence to get friends and friends-of-friends jobs.
That is really it.
On that level, having training and talent will keep you from getting work every day. Many do their best to try to hide it.
The cable channels are a cesspool, with the exception of HBO (Showtime was getting better when I left, but had a long way to go).
