SQUUEEEEEE!!!

Watched Acts 4 & 5 of Hamlet over late morning & lunch.

I love this movie.

This will be on my list as soon as the DVD is released.



I loved the scene over Ophelia's grave. I love the pretty eyes of the guy who plays Fortinbras whose name I can never remember. I loved the acting of the man who played Laertes. I loved Robin Williams as the smarmy & overexcited courtier. I loved this whole thing. What a pretty film.

Also, I really like this play. So, so much better than King Lear.


Also, a quix. Gacked from...er.... someone.

I remember when I studied Othello in class, there was a lot of dithering over Iago's "motivation" - I agree with you that it's pretty thin, but again, I think that's half the fun. Unrepentant evil just for the sake of evil? In a fictional world, that can be a real kick. Which is probably part of the reason I tend to enjoy Angelus more than Angel...

Nothing to do with the infamous leather pants?

Well, what can I say, I guess I hold Shakespeare to a higher standard than I hold Mutant Enemy (No offense guys..).

LOL. Not really, actually. There must be something wrong with me.

Yes, but ME gets far more of my ire...
