(no subject)

I found an interesting list of movies set in the middle ages set up on the University of Toronto website. What's interesting is how few of them I've seen.

I found it by stumbling across The Anchoress as a movie featuring Christopher Eccleston.

Generally speaking, in movie adaptations of Scott - what few I have seen - I prefer the villains to the heroes. It could be the casting but I think it's also the writing and the role.

I suspect The Talisman was never shown in my vicinity. Since it's subject matter is dear to my heart - even though Scott makes me squirm - I'd have made a point of watching it.

It's the writing. Scott's heroes are always insufferably wet. His secondary characters and villains are more colourful.

Scott's heroes are always insufferably wet.

Sadly, yes. His heroines too.

What a waste.
