Star Trek is Gay
Time
I like to consider myself a reasonable movie buff. Hell, I even write an article entitled "Awesome Movies You've Never Heard Of" for my school paper (for which I recently reviewed "Evil Dead" and "Dead Alive".....hey, they're a bunch of high school n00bs, what can I say?). But I can't for the life of me sit all the way through 2001. More specifically, I can't stay AWAKE. I don't want to radiate the notion that I'm a typical 16-year-old who is used to Hollywood's "fasterstrongerloudernow!" approach these days. Hell, one of my favorite horror films is the 1922 silent "Nosferatu", which is definitely not a fast-paced film. Perhaps 2001 just isn't for everyone.

What You're Reading Now: Revisited
Time
I'm working on the Malory edition right now. I actually read Once and Future King during the summer. Have you ever read T.H. White's "The Book of Merlin"? It's the intended last part of OAFK but it doesn't really fit that well with the rest of the story.

I've been dabbling in Dante's work a little bit, but I haven't had the time to really sit down and read it yet. All in good time.

As for a Le Morte d'Arthur movie, I think I'd rather see a good film adaptation of Beowulf. As an aspiring filmmaker, if I ever had a huge budget for a film, I'd make a text-accurate Beowulf film with spoken Anglo-Saxon/Old English dialogue with Modern English subtitles, "Passion of the Christ"-style.

Bands you love?
Time
Perhaps so, but Sabbath was the first METAL BAND. They were all huge Beatles fans, so they probably just took "Helter Skelter" to the next level.

Plus the White Album was released in 1968, which was the year that Sabbath first formed. Sabbath's first album was released in 1970, and still holds up very well today.
