...since this director is Mel Gibson (who got his Oscar for Braveheart), the tone isn't always pious. Gibson loves to goof. Playing practical jokes is a way of keeping the crew loose, asserting the primal jester inside the armor of a star's machismo. So to wrap up the temple take, he has a quiet word with Morgenstern and steps back to leave the actress alone--staring dolefully into the camera with a bright-red clown nose he has stuck on her face.

The two preferred the casual give-and-take atmosphere of their informal presentations, given at Adams and Quincy Houses and in Lecturer Heather Love’s Literature 114: “Friendship” seminar.

The rooms are decorated with shields and armor; some beds are shaped like longships. Instead of the usual complimentary robe and cloth slippers, guests at the Nordic receive handmade Viking outfits with horned helmets and leather slippers. Entertainment includes a rowdy candlelit dinner with a floor show based on Nordic mythology. Owner Richard Edward Schmidthuber, who got the idea after people cheered the Viking costume he wore to a football game, says he intentionally made the place...
