Huh, there are only four movies on Wright's list I haven't seen (although I saw one of them edited for television).
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Was Asylum one of them? (I'm trying to find out the twist about the identity of Dr Starr and what happens to the protagonist.)

I did see that, but it's been so long I can't remember the final twist. I want to say it's the guy interviewing the new doctor that is the crazy doctor but I may be mixing it up with another movie.

Here is a totally wonderful review of Anonymous, by a Shakespearian scholar: [link]
Our first glimpse of London’s playwrights in 1598 shows them as a catty bunch taking up a generous section of the Rose’s second gallery (consequently, a pretty well-to-do bunch): Dekker, Jonson, ... [and] Christopher Marlowe. In 1598. Marlowe makes fun of Dekker for the failure of Shoemaker’s Holiday and claims preeminence among historical playwrights. Which is funny, since Marlowe hadn’t written a history play in five years at that point, largely because he was murdered in 1593.
And apparently everyone is shocked (shocked!) by the fact that Romeo & Juliet is written in verse. As if nobody had ever thought of that before.
There's more, and then the screenwriter shows up in the comments. Heh.

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

Oh god, for a minute I was worried that was going to be DH's aunt. And then I remembered she doesn't know how to use the internet.

I'll have to look at that. In college, I worked with a guy was a firm believer in the Oxfordian view of Shakespeare's plays, but that's all I know on the subject.

Because books.
Aw. I wanted it to be halfway decent. I love all the conspiracy/authorship stories, and Sarah Smith's Chasing Shakespeares is a fantastic novel about it. The review is an excellent read, though.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My DH is absolutely LIVID about this film. Even seeing the trailer enrages him. As former Literary Manager at the Public Theater and dramaturg for Shakespeare in the Park, the whole Oxfordian thing is like a slap in the face to him. It's kinda sexy when he gets all defensive of his guy, Will.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Man, I'd pay good money to eavesdrop on my better-educated Faire friends MST3K'ing the shit out of that movie.

Oh, bless your DH. He's made of love.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
At Stratford Upon Avon they encouraged everyone to go see the movie and throw rotten fruit at the screen.
