Rhonda in TX Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Can it beat Kenneth Branagh's version? Our whole family loves that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ummm..How can anyone not like Shakespeare? :confused: Because I find his work (alleged work?) to be disinteresting. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Ummm..How can anyone not like Shakespeare? :confused: I was wondering that, myself! As I understand it, by the way, they did retain the original language. I heard an interview with Whedon one time in which he talked about how he and his buddies liked to get together and read Shakespeare plays for fun. I used to do that with friends when I was a teenager, but somehow it seems cooler when Joss Whedon does it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Can it beat Kenneth Branagh's version? Our whole family loves that one. That's a favorite of mine, too. But....this is Capt. Mal and Simon. What fun!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan in SC Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Love! I'm a little surprised tha James Martsters (Spike) isn't in it. I read that he is a huge fan of the Bard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Can it beat Kenneth Branagh's version? Our whole family loves that one. Yes, but Branagh is prone to spittage. He was grossing me out on the St. Crispin's Day speech in Henry V, and he's over the top, IMHO. Fillion and Whedon are ...shhhh the angles are singing... the clouds have parted...and look, the moon is shining through... Joss is a god (his dialog is supreme), and Fillion makes me seriously consider licking the tv. It's going to be AWESOME.

ROFL - this is quite quotable and I fully agree. I am rewatching the entire Buffy series right now. It's SO good. I wish we'd see James Martsters too.

Melinda in VT Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Joss is a god (his dialog is supreme), and Fillion makes me seriously consider licking the tv. See, this is what makes me pause. What I love about Joss's work is his dialog, and it sounds like he is using Shakespeare's dialog. Not that I'm saying Shakespeare's dialog is bad or worse than Joss's, but . . . it doesn't seem like it can be a Joss show without Joss's dialog.

Yes, but it can be Joss' *inflection* which will make is Josstacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Well, I love them all: Brannaugh, Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Shakespeare and Marsters. Brannaugh spitting and Josstacular inflecting are all good things. Toss some smirking and snarking into the mix and I may pass out. I love them all like a Hive member loves a man in a kilt. It's going to be a happy, happy day around here. All the best Shakespeare involves spitting. It's the only way to get those words out to the back seats. Alleged Shakespeare!? Yeah, and there was an alleged moon landing. Oh wait, it's the interwebs. I am sure someone can punch up a wikipage to tell me how both are alleged. Next you will be telling me Marsters isn't a Brit. :lol: (I know, I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SproutMamaK Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) You had me at Nathan Fillion. ETA: rofl, I skimmed page 2 and failed to noticed that someone posted the exact. same. thing.

"Jamie and I have done the research, and figured that the only way to end the debate about the 'myth' of the Apollo moon landing is to go there," Savage replied to Slashdot, a technology news website, about the belief held by some that the United States faked the lunar landings. Articles mentioning the allegations held by some, and they aren't on Wikipedia... :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
