So Dan and I rented Tristan and Isolde tonight and just finished watching it. I will never let Dan live down his comment when I first found out it was made into a movie and did a double take at the movie poster. I wasn't sure whether to be thrilled or terrified of the movie version:
Dan: "They turned a Wagner opera into a movie?!"
Me: "Before it was a Wagner opera it was part of the Arthurian canon, love."
...and then he tried to convince me that more people would know it as the opera than as the legend. I told him only in his circle of friends.
What cracked me up even more, though, is that his friend had the SAME REACTION to us talking about it:
"You mean the Wagner opera?"
*shakes head and giggles*
