But that's just me. I’m with you, Leah, I thought #2 was “Love’s Labors Lost,” too, which I liked way better than “10 Things….” But that’s just me.

I thought it was one of the ladies in Twelfth Night. Oh, well! Wow, Anna, thanks for the heads up. I enjoyed this very much--something I had at least a clue about. Thanks! Shakespeare in Love, gack!

But I have a large collection of fine bone porcelain sippy cups. That’s okay, La Petite: I am so old that I have no teeth. But I have a large collection of fine bone porcelain sippy cups.

Claudius has just spoken to the court about the recent funeral/marriage. The scene is filled with colors, and the black that Hamlet wears separates him from the joy/carelessness of the rest of the cast.

It's incredible, and I, who have taught Hamlet for four years now to two classes a semester (16 viewings in class, many more on my own), would have every right to get tired of it. When you compare his portrayal of Hamlet (intelligent, sarcastic, reflective) to Mel Gibson's (wide-eyed) and Ethan Hawke's (YAWN!!!), Branagh is brilliant and takes every detail of the play into consideration.

Then again, I'd probably ruin the show, as I'd either be squealing with glee or gasping with lust the entire time.

Which was also one of my favorite movies (Heath singing on the bleachers?? You had me at "You're just too good to be true..."). I think I was on the Branagh kick. Oh - and if you live anywhere NEAR NYC - Patrick Stewart is in an upcoming production of MacBeth. At $111/ticket (after fees) it's kinda breaking my bank, but... well... Patrick Stewart!!

And what sayest thou then to my love? / speak, my fair, and fairly, I pray thee,' you're like, 'TAKE <i>ME</i>, take <i>ME</i>!" Man, now I'm really in a mood to watch Branagh carry a teenaged Christian Bale across the battlefield at Agincourt! Oh, I love love love Branagh’s Henry V. It was released when I was a senior in high school and my girlfriends and I were all, “It’s so weird: At the beginning of the movie you’re like, He has no lips and he’s kind of pasty, but by the end, when he says ‘If thou would have such a one, take /
me; and take me, take a soldier; take a soldier, / take a king. And what sayest thou then to my love? / speak, my fair, and fairly, I pray thee,’ you’re like, ‘TAKE ME, take ME!”

Man, now I’m really in a mood to watch Branagh carry a teenaged Christian Bale across the battlefield at Agincourt!
