Definitly the Ethan Hawke version, then.
Except I found that version so deathly boring that I stopped watching it midway through.
ETA: I liked Kate Winslet's Ophelia.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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."

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I saw it in April in Stratford-Upon-Avon by the Royal Shakespeare Company, and it was amazing! Squee!
Kristin! Were you at the Swan? My mom and I took a trip in January to Stratford and saw All's Well, with Dame Judi Dench as the Countess. It was amazing. And Stratford is just beautiful.
Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took,
And each doth good turns now unto the other....

Maysa is me on both counts.

The status is NOT quo.
Nope, not the Swan...what is it called, the main stage...The National Theatre? Is that right? It's right next to the Swan.
And yes, I loved Stratford.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I've completely blanked on the author--I'm really horrible at that--but there's a mystery series with Shakespeare in the early days and an actor buddy of his falling into situations and having to figure them out. You get to see Will cribbing lines from people and stealing their names and their lives for later works.
Would that be the Shakespeare and Smythe series by Simon Hawke, Connie? There's at least one other series I can think of with an actor who works with Shakespeare, and that's by Phillip Gooden.

I'm with Frankenbuddha: Throne of Blood is the best Macbeth on film.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Isn't that the one where Lady Macbeth is like sixteen? It's so dark and dreary.
Francesca Annis was born in 1944 - she's ten years my senior. In Polanski's version of the Scots play, she was 27. And naked for sleepwalking scene, all pure skin and flaming red hair.

And to be completely shallow, a stone hottie. I'd completely forgotten she was Lady Jessica in Lynch's DUNE. Probably the last time I saw her in anything. She was still lovely.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

She's all "Unsex me now," and I'm all, "Ain't happenin'."
