They really needed some different writers for that story though! (And they needed find some trousers for poor Tom Cruise . . .)<br /><br />Glad you got a chance to watch it! Perhaps it will stimulate some creative ideas? :)Anne Elisabeth Stenglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462605949792523331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-66190885172467592712012-05-25T11:52:50.119-04:002012-05-25T11:52:50.119-04:00I just found a copy of Legend at a used bookstore ...I just found a copy of Legend at a used bookstore yesterday for $5, and ended up purchasing it and watching it last night. It was really interesting, and I loved the themes and the faeries and the other-wordly elements in it, but you're right it wasn't an amazing movie, and the characters and story were a bit lack-lustre overall.She Will Move Mountainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080281310264864266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-19560939897155125602012-05-24T13:08:54.782-04:002012-05-24T13:08:54.782-04:00I'd never heard of Jenny Greenteeth before. T...I'd never heard of Jenny Greenteeth before. That's what I get, I suppose, for having not read any of Pratchett's works. My sister owns "The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures," so I'll have to look in there and see if the authors say anything about this lovely being. (Also, frying pans seem to be very popular weapons. I'll have to remember to keep some on hand.)Abigail Hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753785611813086527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-63714215614279969732012-05-22T19:10:02.451-04:002012-05-22T19:10:02.451-04:00I'm never kayaking again.

No better way to get a strong feeling of Other Worlds than to study the fairies that have permeated world cultures for centuries. Good luck with your WIP. We need more good fantasy in the world! :)<br /><br />As for the movie Legend . . . I think it's an interesting one for a fantasy novelist to experience, but I won't say it was a fabulous watch. Lots of classic fairy tale motifs and some really beautiful imagery, but a little iffy on story and characters!<br /><br />@Celtic Traveler: Good spot! Yes, that is an Alan Lee illustration!<br /><br />@Faye: She's one of the creepiest fairies I have ever read about!Anne Elisabeth Stenglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462605949792523331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-71345052770722258042012-05-22T15:59:10.080-04:002012-05-22T15:59:10.080-04:00That's one bad fairy that's for sure!That's one bad fairy that's for sure!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150290024386704712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-11842030875053112002012-05-22T13:55:11.268-04:002012-05-22T13:55:11.268-04:00I love that first illustration...it looks like Ala...I love that first illustration...it looks like Alan Lee drew it (did he?)Celtic Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05426556282471558187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-46731039861918251752012-05-22T11:35:38.022-04:002012-05-22T11:35:38.022-04:00I loved this post, Anne!

It's funny to me that I knew almost all of the other beasties from various other cultures that you'd mentioned, including the Kappa and the Bunyip, every one that is EXCEPT for 'Jenny Greenteeth.' =P<br /><br />Hmmm, I've not watched Rodley Scott's 'Legend' yet, but I think I might just do that soon, now that you've mentioned it.<br /><br />I really do LOVE reading your fairy posts, as the novel I am currently working on writing has a little bit of malevolent fairy dust sprinkled throughout it. Your posts have helped immensely with my own WIP novel, so thank you! Please keep these posts coming!!She Will Move Mountainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080281310264864266noreply@blogger.com
