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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I wonder what it is that makes that the Caesar quote.

I don't know, "Et tu, Brute?" could give it a run for its money.

Is it the climax of the play?

No, it's the denouement. It's after Caesar's dead.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I think "Cry Havoc!" is also up there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

"he's got a lean and hungry look" and "beware the ides of march" are pretty big.

"he's got a lean and hungry look"

I've never heard this quoted before. Huh.

"beware the ides of march"

Oh, of course. Yeah, there are a lot of quotable lines. It's Shakespeare!

I've never heard this quoted before.

"Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous."

I think my favorite Julius Caesar quote is "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves."

...The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.

...that we are underlings.

move out and draw fire

There's a local troupe called "The Lean and Hungry Theater Company."

Back when I taught Shakespeare, the other teacher maintained that JC was the most-quoted Shakespeare. I argued, and still think, that Hamlet is.

I mean, look at all the politicians who use Polonius' advice as sincere quotage.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of my worst Shakespeare-in-the-theatre experiences was seeing Hamlet and having the couple behind me exclaim at every fucking famous line in the play which is almost all of them, "OH! This is where that's from?"
