Last night was Wikinger Kino Abend (viking movie night) at my house. My cousin Kurt came over and we did our part to keep the fires of Midgard burning bright.After a hearty feast (veggie burgers), we watched Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King, which is an English version of a German movie called Die Nibelungen. It was a great movie and very entertaining.
My cousin has an older German movie version of this saga from the 1960's and it was interesting to compare the two.
After the movie, we got into a long philosophical conversation about the evils of monotheistic religions (aka the top three). Much fun was had.
A few links for more info on this Germanic/Norse saga:
