When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

I was gonna say - you've clearly never seen A Winter's Tale (just saw it last weekend - Shakespeare was clearly just in it for the paycheck. Cracktacular).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Not that I'm the biggest R&J fan, but Shakespeare wrote a lot of plays and the truly terrible ones don't get done much.
That's damning with faint praise, Gris. But I am in total agreement on both points.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Comedy of Errors is fun! Come on, what's better than a set of twins? TWO SETS OF TWINS.

I love listening to the WSS movie soundtrack, but I've never felt a need to rewatch the movie. Isn't Into the Woods being made into a movie? I'm looking forward to that.

What's worse than A Winters Tale? A Winters Tale performed by students. It is probably worth it for "Exeunt pursued by a bear", though

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Some people have never read 2 Gentlemen of Verona. Or Comedy of Errors.
The 70s musical version of 2 Gentlemen of Verona is actually a lot of fun. The trippiness of it makes up for a lot of story wonkiness.

Hey. New board.
I'm sure it could be done in a way I'd enjoy. By cutting some stuff. And generally being acted really well or amusingly. I saw an all-male cast do Comedy of Errors and laughed and laughed.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll agree that Comedy of Errors isn't a Great Play. It's mistaken identity farce that stands out mostly because the author went on to much bigger and better things. But it's a lot of fun. All you need is a cast with timing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the problem with Romeo and Juliet is more the cultural weight of misinterpretation than the actual story. [link]
