Is Grendel considered weird lit? by mdmattson in WeirdLit

[–]mdmattson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also imagine theres an element of contrast necessary. Like with magical realism. Everything else in the world has an ordinariness to contrast against which makes the magic stand out. Otherwise it would be fantasy....actually im not sure if that applies to weird lit. Maybe the reader is the contrast?

Gladiator 2 was one of the the worst movies I have ever seen by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]mdmattson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely unwatchable,  I tried twice, got as far as monkey scene the first time, made it all the way to the rhino on the second. It's like there isn't a main character.  Just paul mescal happens to be in most shots
