[Suzerain of Sheol]

o_O you okay there?

Anyway, thought of something to rant about. Good rant this time.

There's a movie that came out in England last year called Black Death starring Sean Bean. This movie is fantastic. I was expecting another Hollywood-history disaster like Season of the Witch, but... apparently the British still remember how to tell a good story.

It wasn't at all what I was expecting. I went in to it from the previews expecting to watch Boromir/Eddard Stark chop through zombies and necromancers for an hour and a half. What I got, instead, was a dark, subversive, downplayed story about belief, deception, and conviction that genuinely surprised me at times (in a good way).

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes stuff in that vein, though I will note that the violence is fairly graphic at times. Despite that, though, it's easily the best film I've seen in a long time.
