yes, decent Shellback Squid Feb 2024 #1

OK, not a ringing endorsement, but thanks. Was Dev Patel any good? EarnestPutz Feb 2024 #4

yes, very talented Shellback Squid Feb 2024 #7

Personally I thought it stunk. I wasn't expecting "Lord of the Rings" or "Excalibur", but I felt it was a waste of time LT Barclay Feb 2024 #2

That's bad, though I don't know how many stars your screen saver has. EarnestPutz Feb 2024 #3

It's a nice beach scene. All I need for a quick vacation is a fan, heat lamp and rum drink! LT Barclay Feb 2024 #8

I liked it. temporary311 Feb 2024 #5

If you've read the poem, then you should know it's not action oriented (the poem basically yada-yada-yadad past the action.) There are two really good scenes, one towards the beginning involving Guinevere, and one at the very end when he finally makes it to the Green Knight's chapel.

Odd poetry structure, at least as it is printed, starting around page 52.
