Ah, Hal Hartley! I get the feeling I saw this. It looked familiar, but I couldn’t place it…
I chuckled while reading this but then wondered what it would be like if our Christian fundies could exert this much control over our public works based on the “feelings” of invisible friends.
Have you seen the headquarters of the Earth Liberation Front? Now, that’s a powerful ELF Lobby.
Mock away, mockers. We’ll see who’s laughing when they take your children beneath the hill.
How many other actresses have been in two Icelandic movies based on Beowulf?

My (now 74 yo) dad used to tell me a joke about an elf village being repeatedly run over by idiots diving Mini Mokes.

That’s also what I wonder about the Japanese and their kami.
