Oh, and Moonlighting did a Shrew parody. In which Bruce Willis sang and played the harmonica. @@
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Because books.
Did anyone mention Sarah Smith's Chasing Shakespeare ? Excellent book.
Even in nonfiction, you have books like Reviving Ophelia.
Also an album called Finding Ophelia by Jinny Kim, which I may have to buy.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Prospero's Books and John Cassavetes' Tempest were both well-made, interesting films inspired by Shakespeare.
Amanda Bynes' She's the Man was not.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Christopher Moore's book, Fool.
I had a running list of things that are almost perfectly Shakespearean, without really being a direct spinoff. For example, I Love Lucy is so much like Merry Wives of Windsor in many respects.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
"Romiette and Julio" by Sharon Draper. A pretty popular YA book that modernized the story, but the plot is different Romiette is African-American, Julio is Chicano.

The status is NOT quo.
Lots of Shakespeare in Fool on the Hill by Matt Ruff. Still one of my favorite books.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh, and Romeo and Julie. Women's fic novel with the lead characters in their late fifties/early sixties. It was their children who were against the match.

Man, I love that book. Haven't read it in years; I'm afraid it won't hold up. I think it's a bit id-vortexy for me. It's all wrapped up with college for me, cause I went to Cornell for 3 semesters and knew a bunch of people who lived in Risley. It was a whole thing there, about the college experience I didn't have.
