Things I'd Do If I Were As Rich As Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark

I'd build my own IMAX theater. And if I had my very own IMAX theater, you know what would be the first thing I'd watch?

Hamlet.

Curiously, even though it was done back in 1996, it was shot entirely in 65mm film, which means its sized for potential IMAX viewing.

Can you just imagine it? Kenneth Branagh on a bajillion-foot high screen, obsessively screaming "I LOVED OPHELIA! Forty thousand brothers could not with all their quantity of love make up my sum!"

I think that would be just about the most awesome Shakespeare viewing experience possible with modern cinema. And if it was my own personal IMAX, there would be intermissions for bathroom breaks and snack-restockage.
