Dr. Skull and I went to our first movie since before the pandemic hit.
Unfortunately, the movie was The Northman, which was a kind of Viking Hamlet. The movie is supposed to be historically accurate as far as the focus on Viking clothing, housing, religion, all that, and as far as I could tell it was. It was also hyper-focused on violence -- which again is probably accurate for Vikings in the 9th century, but left me frankly bored. How many times can we watch the violent torture and murder of women and children and still find it shocking, or at all interesting?
If you like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you will like.
I did enjoy being in a theater again, though. I have missed watching movies on the big screen.
