Trolls!

[Thorn]

I can't believe you've seen The Troll Hunter! I thought only Norwegians would find it funny

All current controversies aside, Netflix is a wonderful thing. We get to see films we'd never see otherwise. Indies and foreign films dominate our viewing these days.

We really enjoyed The Troll Hunter. Sure, we might have missed a few subtle jokes in the subtitles, but we got enough to chuckle warmly and appreciate the imagination of the writer.

But, really, I've read a few articles on the Internet that claim the scene with the Prime Minister was real, albeit, taken out of context. Really? I am sorry to say I couldn't pick the Norwegian Prime Minister out of a line up so I just assumed that was made up.

Excellent He might like knowing that Jotuns are mentioned all the way back in the old Norse creation myths. Jotunheimen, "home of the Jotuns", is a mountain range. Oh, and "the Ringlefinch" was originally Ranglefant, which doesn't mean troll, more like.. urm.. "party animal"

Yup, the clip with the PM is real. I found it here:

and he does say "we have troll(s)", in the middle of talking about power lines. But I think he's referring to the large oil and gas field in the North Sea, named Troll.

Many happy winter rides on your troll bikes!
