..and the story continues....




Seeing that DVD cover caused a pretty good stir. Of course the email that Jon Gustafsson sent out to all those who had preordered increased the anticipation too... Not only were we getting a 72 minute documentary, but... a 1 hour interview with Gerard Butler, additional and extended scenes of which I might add "Tony and Gerry on the Viking Ship" was my favorite but the others were all great too, interviews with Beowulf and Grendel producers, and a great slide show , and the Wrath of Gods trailer too!!!!!!! I ask you .. can you understand the element of uncontrollable desire for a package with an outside dressed to kill and inside a magical disc holding 3 hours of entertainment bliss???


The DVDs were packaged and ready when on may 7th the whistle blew and the much anticipated film left the starting gate in Canada headed for destinations around the world. Women everywhere were seen running to their mailboxes everyday waving frantically at the helpless postmen threatening them with their lives if they didn't have their DVD in hand. The waiting was almost unbearable as heightened levels of anticipation had reached their limit, when...


" out on the lawn there arose such a clatter when neighbors looked to see what was the matter, postmen everywhere trembled and shook, as from the mailbags packages were took, recipients grabbed them and away they flew, while unwrapping the excitement grew, DVDs were popped in to place, as mesmerized stares adorned each face, all signs of the anguish of waiting erased.."


Well... there were rumors that a woman in my neighborhood was seen waving a package around in the air, jumping up and down, appearing to have lost her mind........
