HMMM I wonder if it isn't time for me to see it again too, I mean it's been at least a day since I saw it. Definitely a movie theatre experience -movie, I mean it's a great movie and probably still great on a smaller screen but... still.

That's my reasoning too. I'm not going to invest in a surround set-up and a massive screen anytime in the near-future. So the time for fully experiencing this movie is now.

I don't think there will be a third time though, my wallet bleeds.

The writing style of the saga blog actually reminds me a little of this book called "Zeus grants stupid wishes", which is a pretty great retelling of myths from various cultures! I think it has a little more mature language as far as I remember, but it was great fun to read.

and hghghhhhrhghhh i wanna. see fury road again too. i should find out where they play it around these parts. and how much it's for tickets

It's like Geoffrey Chaucer Hath A Blog, except instead of putting modern things in old language it's putting old things in modern language! Win!

Also, I have not seen Fury Road, but I understand I should perhaps? Yes?

Yes. Trust me. I'm the most trustworthy person you will ever meet and I say go watch Fury Road.

I should not have browsed the self-insert thread while listening to the Fury Road soundtrack. That kind of thing leads to ideas.

Also, Egill being so sad his trousers explode. Wat. Wat is this, exactly, I require context!

"It is said that when they laid Bodvar in earth Egil was thus dressed: his hose were tight-fitting to his legs, he wore a red kirtle of fustian, closely-fitting, and laced at the sides: but they say that his muscles so swelled with his exertion that the kirtle was rent off him, as were also the hose"

I know that feeling all too well... but a second time there'll have to be at least, it's been ages since I saw an action movie so well made!

If there were any fellow SSSS fans here I'd suggest a Fury Road meeting...

Sounds logical to me! Actually I've been told it's like Fallout, and I'm a big fan of Fallout soooooo...

OH MY GOD

Mmm... At first I thought it would be Fallout the Movie (based on the first five minutes and pictures I'd seen on the internet). I'd say it's more like Fallout, Orcs, podracing and the Quentin Tarantino movies combined.

Ehehe, me and callipygous have talked about mad-max style SSSSona things... This was from one of our Highest-Quality conversations:



karna = callipygous
karri = ME
everyone else = probably dead i'm so sorry for our batshit ocs

Does anyone else see little german flags next to people's usernames instead of the green online icon? Because I see little german flags now and I have no idea why.

Not that *I* have ever experienced it, but there've been reports of SMF occasionally mixing up images before the server migration ... apparently that's just a thing it does every now and then ...

because I have too many keycards and mixed them up

one is for the staff elevator, one is to my room, one is to my previous room, and one was in this room already and DOES NOT WORK AS A KEY as I found out. I'm thankful for housekeeper master-keycards

I see that you're working on a full house there. *badumm tshhhh*

Then there's this kid Ólafur Peacock. You may have heard of him before.

Ólafur: "Can I have a Þorgerður."

Egill: "Sure!"

Þorgerður: "EW NO dad his mum was a slave!"

Ólafur: "Maybe but I'm also too sexy for my shirt." *hairflip**sparkle*

Þorgerður: "On a second thought ok."

!!!!!!!!!

Laufey how you hilarious. *flops*

They read Egils Saga on RÚV a while ago. I listened to maybe the first three hours. I think I have it bookmarked somewhere...

Fun fact: We didn't cover any old norse sagas in any of the schools I went to in Canada or the US. It's really quite sad actually how much of it gets ignored. I know they teach some stuff in some parts of Manitoba, but sadly I did not grow up there. It's kinda strange since we covered Greek mythology and I feel like the Norse stuff would be more relevant to North America with Vineland and all, but for some reason it's just left out. Everything I know about it I learned outside of school.

[daiseerose]

It makes me quite sad that they don't cover Norse mythology. I totally agree with you, Norse mythology would be much more relevant. I guess they do Greek mythology because its really popular?
