Oh goodness. Julie Taymor's film of Titus shook me to my bones.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Because books.
Hi, Laga! Welcome!
Because it's not an exact shot-for-shot replica -- there's at least one added scene and one significantly shortened one, just off the top of my head.
I was only watching with one eye, so it seemed like every time I looked up it was the same movie, with color and different actors.
I think the color changed the mood a lot, and I was confused by the costumes/sets. Some of it looks like it's trying to be 1960-whatever, and some of it clearly doesn't. But it's a weird combination of the two.
And Viggo has always looked too ... snarky to me to play Sam. In the original, he was so earnest, even if he wasn't entirely honorable. Viggo looks like he's got mischief on his mind all the time.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I loved it too, Laga! We saw it in my Shakespeare on Film class.

Kittenish did great on her tests! Thanks to her hard work (to avoid being shot) and a love of tuna, her thyroid tests falling into the normal range. She doesn't need to go to the vet for a whole three months!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think that's the only time I've ever seen it performed. It's not a hugely popular choice, but Aaron is my very favorite capital V villain.

I love that his dying monologue is "I only wish I could have lived longer so that I could have DONE MORE EVIL!"
Um, I spoilerfonted Shakespeare.

Well, good on Kittenish for studying so hard! I'll bet you made her crack the books hard every. single. night.

I saw a great Titus about 11 years ago that involved pumpkin slaughter and large amounts of stage blood. Kept me entertained.
My issue is the same one I have with most modern comedies -- 99% of the time, all the mistaken identity confusion could be solved by one simple conversation that the characters go to extreme lengths to avoid having. It's tiresome after the umpteenth identical plot.
This reminds me of Steph's Who's On First issues.
I did see a good Dream once, with trapeze. The guy who played Moth, later in his career, headed a dance company of which my SiL was part.

So apparently Laga put the ball in my pocket when we were driving somewhere and I was on the phone and oblivious. These pants have been washed since then. She's just been lying in wait, all stealthy.
Weirdo.

I believe in education. She's studying right now. For all forms of studying that mean shut away from Puppycat The Snack Thief with a bowl of food.
She taps at me when she is hungry or it's time to be shot. Very cute now that her claws have been trimmed. Pet, pet, pet... Pet, pet, pet... Mooooooooooom!
