There's a movie of it I've seen that's quite good... they've done the play itself fairly straight but the setting is dressed up as 1930s-England-as-a-banana-republic.PariahPoet wrote:I have yet to read Richard III, even though one of my favorite songs was based on it.
We got that in my day as well, right up to high school. Dour and depressing stuff like That Was Then, This Is Now and To Kill a Mockingbird that I just couldn't stand. I ran with a small crowd who tended to listen to down and depressing music (Joy Division, Marianne Faithfull etc. - we'd probably have been called "goths" nowadays). Luckily we had a geography (!) teacher who was also a prominent (and quite mad) amateur theatre producer. So the school was inveigled into sending school groups to his Shakespeare productions. The classic (one I still remember a quarter of a century later) was A Midsummer Nights Dream, with all the fairies done up as bikers (Titania and Oberon looked like they'd just stepped out of 1952 Vincent Black Lightning) and Puck, in brightly coloured, spiked hair, pedalling his way across the stage on a child's bicycle. Bizarre but so memorable.PariahPoet wrote:That's why they make you read depressing, pointless, idiotic crap in elementary and middle school
I need to see that one, that's hilarious. God, I love that show.PariahPoet wrote:There's one scene where a woman picks up a skull, shrieks, and throws it out the window. And Crow talks over it with "Alas, poor Yorick, I threw him well."

I like to read. although I still think that Comics are a better format for fiction than books (Nonfiction books like "The Assault on Reason" are better in book form). Anyone read Graphic Classic, all those old stories adapted into comic book form? Kicks a**.PariahPoet wrote:Heh heh, every time I think of Hamlet, I think of MST3K where they watch the Screaming Skull.
There's one scene where a woman picks up a skull, shrieks, and throws it out the window. And Crow talks over it with "Alas, poor Yorick, I threw him well."
Midsummer Night's Dream was my favorite. Followed by Hamlet and Othello. Didn't particularly care for Romeo and Juliet. I have yet to read Richard III, even though one of my favorite songs was based on it.

I blame the public school system for making kids hate reading. An illiterate populace is easily controlled. -_- That's why they make you read depressing, pointless, idiotic crap in elementary and middle school, so that they can pretend to expose highschoolers to quality literature, knowing quite well that no one will care about it if they even bother to read it at all.

im not techniqually refusing it....I just have no interest in seeing/reading itravaged_warrior wrote:That's less you preferring Lion King and more you flat out refusing to involve yourself in the other two.
Also, why is it that Shakespeare is always associated with reading? They're plays, it was meant to be a visual experience.
Hehe... I made the barrel roll comment because i haven't seen that one (and prolly judging to the DTV animation standard at the time, i'd be too scared to), and apparently according to some reviews i've seen of 1-1/2, that seemed to be the most prevalent comparison on that one.Dreamer wrote:I get the first one, but not the joke on the last two (I know what you're referencing on the second one though)AladasianTheMeerkat wrote:All you know about the three TLK's is this...

I guess that's one you might need to google as well.
