No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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]

I think this is true of many of the Shakespeare plays. I get annoyed every time I see a line from a Shakespearean fool or villain used as an inspirational saying.

That is why I love the Reefer Madness song "Shakespeare"- [link]

Bonus Kristen Bell.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Didn't Roger Daltrey once star in a version of Comedy of Errors? Or am I totally making shit up?

Yes he did.
