...and this jackass produces a sanitized, PC, version - complete with Affirmative Action casting. Fantastic. Black northern gods......
What? Hollywood raping European literature and history for it's own cosy ends? Never!

Have you seen Valhalla Rising? I think that it would blow your mind (unless you don't like introspective cinema that is!). It's very slow and ponderous but probably the best recreation of the Dark Ages I have ever seen on film.
