I've seen about 2/3 of them, but can't defend most of them. Addicted to Love was not aspirational, though--I agree with you on that (it's IN THE TITLE).
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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.

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

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Huh, I did not know there was another Romeo and Juliet remake in the works: [link]
I only know Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit but she left such a fantastic impression, I'm looking forward to seeing how she'd tackle this role. I do wish the boy who plays Romeo wasn't such a pouty male model type though.
Damien Lewis as Lord Capulet!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Chuck Bass from Gossip Girl is in that!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Before I even clicked through, I hoped it was Pip from the recent Great Expectations (because no one is poutier), and it was!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Romeo and Juliet just isn't that high on my list of Shakespeare plays I'd like to see performed or filmed. I'm clearly in the minority however.

Well, I agree with you Burrell.
I think that's because the last act is more stupidity than tragedy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Has there been a big-screen As You Like It in, like, ever?
Huh. IMDB says yes, and only 7 years ago, but I swear I had never, ever heard a whisper of it. Possibly I was too busy lying flat and trying not to bust up my placenta or something to keep up with In Theaters Now. But, still, I can't believe I didn't even know it existed.

Impact Theater did As You Like It in the spring. It was fun!

Do any filmed R&J's make them look properly stupid?

Because books.
I remember seeing Franco Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet in high school, and thinking it was very tragically romantic, but I was, you know, fifteen. The thing about the story is that it almost seems like it could have been written by a melodramatic tween fan-ficcer.
