weekend
Went to see "10,000 B.C." It's okay for what it is--completely made up, with no relation to actual history, anthropology or palenotology.

My Netflix movie for the weekend is "The Revenger's Tragedy" with Christopher Eccleston. It's a Jacobean tragedy dolled up as being "20 minutes in the future." Basic plot: The Duke of Liverpool is refused sex by a woman, so he poisons her and nearly her entire wedding party (save the ones who didn't get around to drinking their champagne, for whatever reason. The groom, Vindici, returns after a decade to take bloody vengeance. The dialogue takes some getting used to, as some of it is directly from the original, while other bits are updated to the setting. Interesting, and violent, though.

A tribe of mammoth hunters is slowly running out of mammoths. One day, a young girl with blue eyes wanders into their camp. Her people, from just over the next mountain, were wiped out by "the four-legged demons." (Horse riders.) The tribal elder declares that Blue Eyes and a great warrior of the tribe will someday bring new prosperity to their people.

Some years later, the raiders return, this time striking the mammoth hunter village. Blue Eyes and some others are taken away, and a small band of warriors (including our hero) go after them.

Eventually aliens and/or Atlanteans enter the picture.

Ooh, I rather liked the Revenger's Tragedy. Nice pick. I knew nothing about it going in except that it contained Christopher Eccleston.
