11/10 would watch

So you’re saying I should do the thing.... I refuse to do a vampire episode. Boy bands as sirens seems like a solid idea as well.

I LITERALLY SCREAMED “ZOHAR CRYSTALS” paused the movie and took a lap around my apartment.

Oh god I watched that the other day and had to go watch Prince of Egypt as a palate cleanser. It was SO BAD.

THank fuck we have Prince of Egypt. At least THAT’S  decent Biblical epic.

It was even better in person. Plus he was really sweet. Working in FOH you sometimes get these dickish actors, but he was an absolute peach.

Oh that's good to hear.  I am naturally very suspicious of super good looking guys because, more often than not, they end up being ass holes. It's always good when they're not.

I swear the Hotspurs are one of like four couples in Shakespeare with a canonically healthy relationship. Side note my theatre did Henry IVs last season and the guy playing Hotspur was so ripped I laughed out loud when I saw his shirtless scene.

Oh man, agreed! I'd say the other three are Ben and Bea, Florizel and Perdita, and Paulina and Antigonus. There are some honorable mentions here and there, but those are the best.

I am also so available for man candy Hotspur. All the time, always.

My sister is pretty brilliant (well she has her moments...) But this time she is brilliant because she told me the when a paper needs to be double spaced if you write it single spaced and then double space it before you turn it in it seems like you aren't writing as much! Honestly this make writing paper so much easier (also the Hans Zimmer Pandora station but she didn't tell me that one)

When I was an undergrad pretty much everyone I knew hated it, but I think it's just because no one seems to know how to teach the play properly - it's a fairy tale. Ultimate wish fulfillment. And it really has that feel to it, as well.

That was exactly how I directed my Winter's Tale, magic and all. I played Paulina as if she was Leontes and Hermione's warrior sorceress. I even wore armor.  It was awesome.

Nah man I totally feel that way about Hamlet. Like I absolutely love so much of the language but I can't imagine having to fit it all together because it just doesn't entirely work as a whole.

It's about two hours too long, is riddled with plot holes, and a few major characters are seriously underwritten.  And then, when people perform it, they are always overly reverent. I've never seen a production of Hamlet where it didn't feel like the whole company was super aware that they were performing the GREATEST PLAY EVER. And that sucks.

this just motivated me to start seriously thinking about doing a Five Points era R+J.

Now that sounds intriguing.....

RIGHT?! Emma Thompson is easily the best part of the Branagh Much Ado, but her Benedick wasn't as good as she was. Catherine Tate's Beatrice is very good and she was excellent with David Tennant, but I just wish I could mash up the two best interpretations of those roles that I've seen.

The Winter’s Tale is my favorite and NO ONE EVER UNDERSTANDS THAT so thank you for understanding the play so perfectly.

YOU ARE SO WELCOME! I am always so excited to meet/talk to someone that also loves The Winter's Tale as well. That play gets maligned so frequently and I actually think it's one of Shakespeare's best, most poignant plays.
