ealgyldenFrom the OAFE review of the Gimli/Uruk-Hai two-pack (with emphasis added, which I never do):
"Despite loving the movie, I am still a little disconcerted by the commodification of my favorite book. What's next? Action figures based on Beowulf, or The Faerie Queen? Burger King Kid's Meals with toys from Sir Orfeo? Okay, probably not, but I hope you see my point."
Dude, don't tease me! Wouldn't that be fabulous? Grendel with removable arm! Wealhtheow with mead-cup and "realistic" jewels! Young Beowulf with swimming action and Old Beowulf with dragon! I need to be rich and have my own toymakers.
I was also amused by this auction listing. Not the item itself, but the title (?) of the auction. Is it my fault my brain automatically went to Dianne Wiest in Bullets Over Broadway as Arwen?
Okay, I need to get off the computer and stop spamming. I keep thinking I should watch a movie, but then I get hung up on which one. Dark Crystal? Sleepy Hollow? Goldeneye? Ahh, too much pressure, can't decide!
