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

Shakespeare isn't on strike?

Shakespeare's a scab!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I looked up who played Othello in the 1981 BBC production: Anthony Hopkins.

Time travel, my friend.

The problem is that all our time travel technology comes from intelligent wombats from the future.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wasn't he in some movie where he may or may not have been black? I'm completely blanking on the title, though.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Gud, those screencaps of Assassin's Creed may have convinced me tht we need a new, HDTV along with a game system to play it on.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Plays are meant to be done again and again, so I see no reason not to redo them all. Each interpretation can provide a different experience.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

BBC redoing all the Shakespeare plays is like the WPA for actors -- you've got to keep them off the streets somehow.

Which may or may not have anything to do with the fact that Anthony Hopkins is pretty fucking white.

I need to see more of these stories from a black point of view. All the black people I know who saw Devil In A Blue Dress were all "That's the reveal???"
