The ONLY translation of Beowulf.
The ONLY translation of Beowulf.
Says the guy named Fernet Branca.
@avclub-eaa88660d97aa2a15400335bcf9d93ac:disqus Agreed. He seems to be the only translator who read and actually understood "The Monsters and the Critics"— or at least the only one with enough poetry chops to approach translating Beowulf the way Tolkien wanted people to approach reading it.
Reading his translation (and especially his preface to it) made me realize just how hard it is to do a good translation that FEELS right instead of one where the words just mean the right things.
Totally agree about The Americans finale. That Games Without Frontiers sequence gave me chills.
I also enjoy that the "male antihero" archetype on this show is played by freaking Felicity.

New hobby suggestions for you:
-breathing carbon dioxide
-house cleaning like a boss: mix ammonia and bleach
-marking your territory on the third rail
-getting high on IV potassium
-sudden infant death syndrome
There are really two possibilities here:
1. You've never eaten proper guac.
2. You have proven that opinions can be wrong, after all.
Clobbered with agreement?
But all this moisture coming up out of the South is going to push off to the east and hit Altoona!
@IndependentGeorge:disqus The ones that are 10% about Skyler and 90% about Anna Gunn's personal appearance are also pretty disgusting.
@avclub-011d0b4fe6835bb3d37ef4e0ea713de6:disqus Rejoice, the Golden Age is upon us! Equal pay and equal hatred of Jezebel for everyone!
@avclub-5905114b2a37b2b7b0a719d55ac35cd9:disqus I should hope that taught the rapscallion a lesson. I cannot abide a disreputable barrister.
@avclub-4caf6aa0375b2499ebfe7e971b36eee3:disqus Thank you for that enriched-uranium nightmare fuel.
