I watched Sword the Valiant (an "adaptation" of Gawain and the Green Knight that earns every one of those scare quotes) with some friends last night. It was one of those gloriously bad movies that you have to watch in a group so you'll have people with whom to mock it. Gawain had a blond bob that would make Prince Valiant jealous, all the swords were aluminium and bent when being unsheathed, the cast included cunning seneschals and evil dwarfs and lecherous heirs . . . Oh, and it had Sean Connery covered in glitter to play the Green Knight. He sparkled like a Meyer vampire.
Then, Phil and I went to see the midnight showing of Wolverine with Nate, his girlfriend and a group of his girlfriend's friends. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would a Wolverine themed movie. The action scenes were well-done if a little silly at times, Gambit looked pretty and acted reasonably smart, Jackman alternated between being angsty and violent. Basically, Gambit's ten minutes on screen were the most interesting part of the movie for me, but that's to be expected. The cameos were fun as usual.
I picked up The Wrestler on DVD today, so I'll be watching that tonight.
Hobbes has just jumped onto my lap and squeaked loudly at me, so I'm required to pay attention to the cat now. :P
