Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

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."

ALSO, YOU ARE TOO OLD TO PLAY HAMLET. ALSO, ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING MIRRORS.

Hee! ITA, Jessica. I saw that Hamlet at the Music Box Theatre and boy, did it draaaaag. I was so ready for Fortinbras to invade by the end.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I keep hoping someday someone will do a production of it where the majority of the story is treated like a horror movie. I think it could be very creepy, if approached properly.

Why am I imagining a prominent place for Mr. Gaiman in creating this?

I've seen footage of a stage production that took this tack. I think it was done by someone in the UK during the 80s (but possibly the 70s).

Because Tim Burton didn't occur to you first?

I'm trying to imagine a goth version of Midsummer Night's Dream ....

Yes. The fairies are treated far too lightly in the productions I have seen. Midsummer Night's Dream is my favorite Shakespeare play.

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

Because he kind of already did it in Sandman?

Yes, but I want it much creepier than that.
