Commonplacebook.com is the personal website of Steph Mineart. When I was a kid, I used to get in trouble all the time for talking too much, and I got yelled at for daydreaming in class all the time, too. Thirty-some years later, not much has changed.
I keep seeing the ads for "Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King" on the sci fi network premiering Monday, March 27th -- a dragon slayer, a two strong warrior women, a ring of fire -- Nibelungenlied? Yep, after further investigation, I called that one correctly. I'll definitely be watching that; my ancestors are Rhinelanders.

Giant horses, enormous cows, men that tower over the skyline... some of them are permanent fiberglass structures, some temporary inflatables, almost all of them are advertisments for a business. They're cool, and I take pictures of them.

Certainly "Dark Kingdom" is a takeoff on "Ring of the Nibelungenlied," which in turn was based on tales of Attila the Hun in the 5th Century, but it has a lot of Wagnerian Ring Cycle elements too. All in all nicely done, though it could have used some operatic music, and maybe a few references guiding viewers to the originals. (And I always thought Seigfried was bigger than that....)

Awesome movie!!! Did anyone watch it on the SciFi channel on the 28th? If so, did anyone catch any of the commercials in between? There was a cool commercial about swords and the likes, even listed a web address, but of course, I didn't write it down. If you know what I'm talking about, please send me a message and share the info with me.
