Argot Navis

Well, I've been absolutely tireless in my updating here.

Anyway, here's the long-awaited part 2.

My mind is starting to get a little fuzzy about this movie, which makes me think I should have coughed up the 3 bucks and just bought it, but I'll try to give you some highlights.

Now, in case you haven't figured it out yet, dear Martin has become a werewolf. Specifically, the Runestone has transformed him into Fenrir. For those of you unfamiliar with the story of Fenrir. . . it's actually not at all important. All you need to know is that he was imprisoned in a stone (yes, that stone) by the god Tyr, whose hand he bit off. At some point, Bill Hickey explains all of this to Marla, including some things the audience has known for about half an hour, like the fact that Martin has become a werewolf to get her back.

In a fantastic scene, Marla is running from Martinwolf through some dark park, and she runs into a tunnel, where a couple of toughs attempt to have their way with her. Of course, she's being chased by a werewolf who happens to have a thing for her. The guys, of course, are mauled.

The movie gets pretty talky for a while, and Jacob, who is an intensely boring and therefore, of course, intensely imporant character, is introduced. He's Lars's (that's Bill Hickey) grandson, and he doesn't believe in all of this stuff. . . or does he?

To break the boredom, Martin goes back to that artsy club and kills some people. Of course, at first they think it's part of the show. Art people are so stupid. Fanducci tracks down Martin, only to realize that Martin is a fucking werewolf, and shooting him doesn't work (apparently he forgot his silver bullets).

Well, now Fanducci is convinced. Marla and Sam really are in trouble. So he sends them home, and sets up a bunch of armed guards outside their place. Because since shooting him once didn't work, shooting him a lot certainly will.

Amazing Line Number 3:
Fanducci: What's your name, officer?
Other cop: It's Strange, Sir.
Fanducci: I don't care how fucking strange it is.
Other cop: No Sir, it's officer Strange.

Yeah, that line actually happens. Of course, Marla and Sam have to escape their apartment, because Fanducci's crack team can't keep Fenrir down for long.

Some more stuff happens, but. . . I'm just going to skip to the end, because really, I think it's the greatest scene in all of cinema. Sigvaldson (he's the Clockmaster, of course) comes to the aid of Marla, Sam and Jacob. You see, some guy at an art museum told them that they needed both the god Tyr and some kid named Jacob to overcome Fenrir. So, is Alexander Godunov really Tyr? Um, yeah, I think so. Therefore, it's probably true.

Alexander does battle with Tyr, but he can't do it without the sword. Yes, THE sword. So, Jacob runs off to break the sword free from some wall that it's been trapped in. Yeah, Fenrir dies at the hands of Godunov's stare. Well, it's actually his sword, but you get the idea. Martin dies, and everyone is happy again. Except Martin, who is dead. The Clockmaster, feeling satisfied, goes home and stares at the clock. And smiles. And then some little kid that apparently lives with him also smiles. Could there be a more perfect ending?
