I just finished watching The 13th Warrior on one of the cable channels, which I love doing because there's no editing of the gore and no commercials. I love this movie so so much. It has that old, hoary, sitting-around-the-campfire feel to it. I really like the beginning scenes, though, when Antonio Banderas' character doesn't understand their language yet; if you listen close you can hear the bits and pieces that were incorporated into English over the centuries of Viking raids. You can tell the set director tried really hard to keep true to the time, as well. It makes the anthro geek in me very happy.

Plus, on a completely shallow note: lots and lots of pretty long-haired men. *g*
