Strawberry gets picked up on the way. (I was re-reading it... this winter? Didn't finish it. Maybe I'll take it with me on the cruise.)
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Is Hazel the big fighter? The one who, even though he's battered all to hell and gone, gets up and says, "My Head Rabbit told me to hold this position," and freaks out the enemy rabbits, who can't conceive of a rabbit tough enough to give this one orders?
Bigwig. Hazel's the Head Rabbit in question. That's a great scene, too.

Plus Olivier left out the betrayal by those three Englishmen before the invasion. That was blatant.
And the shifting from theater to theatrical set to "real world" was interesting, but jarring.

Unfortunately, Deb, Connie was asking about Hamlet. *g*
Though I agree with you that his Henry was the BEST. By Hamlet, he'd gone firmly into his "StediCam + Kenneth = Tru Luv 4 EVAH!!!1!" stage of things.
I don't think there's been a proper film version of Hamlet yet, sadly.

I initially meant Henry V but mistyped that as Hamlet. I fgured Deb was just being psychic.
Like Branagh's Hamlet. Gorgeous sets, the text finally made sense to me with all the political subplots--I love it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Double post. Weirdness...

Hamlet?
suhNERK.
Sorry. Olivier, for that one, I suppose; but honestly, neither film really killed me the way Henry V did. I might have liked Branagh's better if I hadn't felt like, well, exactly what my adored Plei said, about the Steadicam, and the no really proper version on film yet.

I can't see an Hamlet without thinking Stoppard, and the film version of R&G is so much better than any film version of Hamlet I've seen, it makes me sad.
Plus, pointless use of the SC = five MILLION points from Gryffandor.

We also watched both Henry V movies in that class. I wasn't really a big fan of the play, so neither movie did much for me.
And I haven't seen a single movie Hamlet. Pieces of the Branagh version, but that's it.
