And indeed the story about the money going to cancer research is true. 100% of all proceeds are going to the American Cancer Society here in the US, and to the Norwegian Cancer Society for al European sales. I send the checks out myself. To date we have just passed the $11,000 mark. <br />Scott Wegener<br />Executive ProducerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568895843087907541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750601976843429146.post-57100415818764507142009-09-23T16:12:18.079+10:002009-09-23T16:12:18.079+10:00I thought it looked worth the price of a copy.
The...I thought it looked worth the price of a copy.<br />The middle ages and its literature does seem to attract a range of ...interesting...people.<br />No one seemed to mind a Beowulf played with a Scots accent in Beowulf and Grendle..or as cockney enforcer in the animated version....both are just as incongruous and historically "wrong".<br />Though claiming "Beowulf" as a 'Danish epic' because it's set in Denmark really is stretching things.Liam Guilarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031376624826567522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750601976843429146.post-5676959477343514142009-09-23T16:03:42.906+10:002009-09-23T16:03:42.906+10:00Liam:

Heck, the original Beowulf was a kind of "prujection-fantasy" anyway, so why not suspend disbelief. As for the people who object to this, they seem an awfully sad and narrow-minded lot. Beowulf, after all, is an important piece of world literature. And yes, Africans actually did travel a lot. Maybe not to Scandinavia or Iceland, but they certainly traveled, one way or another, to parts of Europe and Asia. And don't forget Timbuktu, or Great Zimbabwe. <br />Anne GAnne Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045500116098233731noreply@blogger.com
