Yep! Ain the art world grand?
Actually, what I’m doing is paying an homage to both the movies that I love (for whatever reason) and to epic poetry, which is in many ways a neglected and underused art form that should have a well-deserved place in modern literature. So, I’m taking something most people dismiss as commercialized crap, and presenting it in a way that would be palatable even to someone a thousand years ago (ignoring the linguistic impediments, of course). After all, everyone loves a good story, but whether it’s really good or not often depends on the way it’s told. So, all I’m doing is using an old technique of ancient bards to make some pretty cheesy stuff seem exciting all over again.
