> There's Norse spoken in that new Crichton movie starring Antonio Banderas..."The 13th Warrior"

I wish they'd stop making movies based on Michael Crichton's books - or at *least* wait until he learns to write. Crichton has to count as one of my least favourite authors; I wouldn't mind him so much except that he's *so* popular and *so* bad. If he were just your run-of-the-mill hacktrash author, I wouldn't care that much. But ever since Spielberg made that "Jurassic Park" movie, all heck has broken loose.

Sorry about that. Had to vent for a second.
