In Reply to: OOftah! You mean the Hal Hartley film? posted by Harmonia on October 29, 2002 at 23:29:19:
A really good film. The "monster" struck me as modeled partly on John Gardner's Grendel."Ooftah" eh? Sounds Minnesotan to me (I'm in St. Cloud, alias St. Iceberg, alias St. Atavistica).
Follow Ups:
...that "Ooftah" was an appropriate Nordic response. ;-)I'm in the sunny southland of Indiana (not!), but I have several Norwegian, Icelandic and Swedish heritage friends from Minnesota. And since I've listened to Prairie Home Companion for twenty years, I somehow feel I can venture a few "Northernisms" on occassion.
I made an assumption, just from reviews, that the monster was influenced by Grendel. I hope so - I'm very fond of that book! Looking forward to the movie. The trailers were great.
Hope y'all thaw out by May.
I missed the reference. That's what I get for posting before I've had sufficient coffee. Or maybe it's brain-lock from this miserable MN weather...
