I've never read King Lear but I did read the Wikipedia page and have a brief discussion about it with Kristin. Still Slings & Arrows season 3 says Very Long Wait on my Netflix queue so maybe it's not too late for me to stop by the library.
Tell me more good stuff about me.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

No idea.
All I know about Henry V I learned from either Buffy or the movie Renaissance Man.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

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

Oh, and Branagh's Henry V is a rare chance to see Robert Stephens on screen--while being married to Maggie Smith and producing Toby Stephens as their child, he spent most of the '60s and '70s with a bottle. He emerged to be (a fairly decent) Aragorn in the BBC radio play of LotR, and then Branagh cast him as Pistol in Henry V, who he portrayed excellently, I thought. He died not too many years later.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
oh, I once heard a story about an actor who was going to play Lear for the first time. Understandably nervous, he consulted an older actor, one who had played Lear a number of times and was well received. He posed the question and the older man thought long and deep. After some time he said, "get a small Cordelia."
