I’ll tell you what to buy your man: absolutely nothing. Let him buy you something. And if he complains, remember-- you have the ultimate power in your relationship. You can cut him off from you-know-what.

Warner Brothers Studios finally announced an October 3rd, 2003 release date for the long-awaited, live-action Beowulf movie.
