Wot a concept.

The War Criminal's avatar doing 'Amlet.

<shudder>

I think it would be worth paying to see Shatner do Shakespeare for the comedic value of course

Yes, it seems quite well done. 'Tis a pity it's in Elizabethan English.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Well spake or not, that is the question

[norrahe]

for in the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, one might take arms against a sea of language and by elizabethan have problems innit forsooth verily

to understand, to stay awake, aye there's the rub, for in the length of this programme what beers may come.

Forsooth cousin - thou cans't trammel up thy comprehension hastily.
Verily.

They seem to have grasped the fact it can be done with out the breathy nuances or halting dialogue as if William Shatner was performing

Watched another 45 mins of 'Amlet.

Can't seem to watch more than that before I beam out.

I managed a couple of hours, it's really well done, really impressed. Will finish it tomorrow, left it a tad late to start watching it.

John Wayne as Genghis Khan was a classic though

His grave, is marked with a quotation from his controversial 1971 Playboy interview:

"Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."

Watched this. got to the point in Act 2 where...
LORD POLONIUS
I would fain prove so. But what might you think,
When I had seen this hot love on the wing--
As I perceived it, I must tell you that,
Before my daughter told me--what might you,
Or my dear majesty your queen here, think,
If I had play'd the desk or table-book,
Or given my heart a winking, mute and dumb,
Or look'd upon this love with idle sight;
What might you think? No, I went round to work,
And my young mistress thus I did bespeak:
'Lord Hamlet is a prince, out of thy star;
This must not be:' and then I precepts gave her,
That she should lock herself from his resort,
Admit no messengers, receive no tokens.
Which done, she took the fruits of my advice;
And he, repulsed--a short tale to make--
Fell into a sadness, then into a fast,
Thence to a watch, thence into a weakness,
Thence to a lightness, and, by this declension,
Into the madness wherein now he raves,
And all we mourn for.

KING CLAUDIUS
Do you think 'tis this?

My four year old son (entering the room)
No.


Missed the rest through laughing.....
