Aziraphales Actually Alliterative And Awesomely Affluent Random Banter #104

[Dragonrider]

I've never seen Shakespeare performed (though I don't count cuz I live in the Colonies ) but I've read...six plays? Macbeth, Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V. Nope, five. Much Ado About Nothing was my favorite, no contest...maybe just because I like the Kenneth Branagh/Emma Thompson movie.

The acting was really mixed in that film, Kenneth Brannagh and Michael Keaton were great, Brian Blessed was well Brian Blessed. The other people were mediocre I think.

Psst, its a year and a day(still 19th). Grongrats.

Wow...time passes quick when you spend them on these boards....

Keanu Reeves was so awful that it hurts me to think about it.

[Oregano]

I don't think his acting was that bad but he was terrible in that role. Denzel Washington was pretty meh IIRC.

You'd be amazed.

Never seen that film, but now that I know Blessed was in it I'll look it up, even though Reeves is in it.
But Blessed and Brannagh are in Henry V as well. Wonder how many plays Blessed's been in.
I also like the way you describe his acting:
"Brain Blessed was well Brian Blessed."
Large, large ham. And funny.

There is always time for cake. It is not a lie.

Technically over 2 years for me, even though I only really started posting lots on January 16th 07. IIRC... *goes and checks town posts to confirm this*

Edit: Nope, 17-01-2007. Oh well.

He requested it, I stoled it after I made it.

Is it me, or does that dragon look suspiciously like Alf the alien?

[EmeraldRose]

Google is your friend. And here you'd said you wanted no cake...for shame.

It was bad casting, I agree, but that doesn't excuse the wooden performance. He acted just as badly in Dangerous Liasons - which should have been a good casting decision (right age, at least). No, Keanu Reeves just can't do costume drama.

Of what dragon speak you?

Anywho, Kenneth Braghnah, or however his last name is spelled, really does the best Hamlet of any version I've seen. I didn't actually like Mel Gibson's Hamlet. He acted somewhat juvenile...

[EmeraldRose]

A little bit. If Alf were green, and larger than a castle...and a dragon.

[Dr. Bath]

Shhh... the face. You know what I mean!

[Dragonrider]

Keanu Reeves was so awful that it hurts me to think about it.

Keanu. Reeves. Hurts. My. Brain.

Honestly, his presence in any film explains, in my opinion, any hatred it might recieve.

But I like Much Ado About Nothing. Kenneth Branagh is great, I always like Emma Thompson, and their relationship is hilariously great. Especially the sequence where they're being tricked into admitting they love each other...I just like it. And the end panning-out-circling sequence where everyone is dancing is cool simply because it was done all in one take.

But I agree that Denzel Washington is distinctly out of place for being a lone African-American in the middle of Italy.

[EmeraldRose]

Shhh... the face. You know what I mean!

Yeah I know But who said I had to make it easy on you? Hmm? Where are they so I can get them next?

[Oregano]

It's colour blind casting, it's everywhere nowadays.

Plan: Need to get that essay done tonight, or tomorrow. Though she wanted it Friday, I couldn't get it done and said I'd email it to her this weekend. Other stuff then got in the way, and I really don't have the energy to do it tonight. If I do it tomorrow though, I'll have the other one to do as well, but in one big chunk I can just do it at 2am. I don't even see her until Friday anyway.
Also, because I totally forgot when I had Cat-Muffin week scheduled for, I need to finish up my avatar and do a quick list of Cat-Muffinmicon entries to type up later in the week. I also need to get a copy of all the Cat-Muffins to put into the poster.
Plus I need to work out how the hell I'm going to make back that money I lost buying Vic from Getzer or whatever his name is. $1000! $1000! I had to shift so much crap to get that! I could kill him, but my Small Guns skills is abyssmal, and I don't think Vic or Cassidy could hold their own against any of the other guys.
And I need to work out how I'm going to sneak into this NSF warehouse to deactivate the generator. I seem to always trip the alarm when I try, so I might try messing about with the LAMs and gas mines I've got.
And I need to redownload Steamboy, since the version I've got is an English dub but has these ridiculous subtitles that take up half the screen and just don't make sense sometimes.

Busy busy busy.

Grr...

I hate that bolded term there.

Someone is born in the States, lives in the States, dies in the States. He never gets even close to Africa.

Why the hell do you call him African?! Call him a black guy or something, but he's not African! He's American!

We certainly don't call people "African-Turks" because they are black.

[Dragonrider]

Because "African-American" is politically correct, whilst "black" is sometimes considered racist considering most dark-skinned people are brown, not black.

I dunno...I just don't use it because my cousins are "of color" (I guess that's really the 'proper' term, though it basically denotes anyone non-Caucasian, meaning where I live it's more likely to refer to Indians - American Indians - who, yes, prefer that to Native American) and they don't like the term "black".

I think it's a dumb catagorization technique anyway. I don't object to color-blind casting at all, it just strikes me in Much Ado About Nothing as a little unusual.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Hey, DRider, you're avvie's gone.
You're invisdible! Or gone . . .

Quick! Help me find my almost - triplet.
*panics*

EDIT:
Never mind; you've just found your cat - muffin pet. Cute is it?

[Tragic_Comedian]

Is it me, or does that dragon look suspiciously like Alf the alien?

BWAHAHA! It really does!

[Castaras]

I can see DR's avvie. I think my other almost triplet has a problem with her nets.

Edit: Koorly's also a simu-editer.

I think Brian Blessed is awesome.

Aaaaah! Cute curly-haired girls confuse me!

But I've got a way of telling you apart.

Quick, which one of you had the hot boyfriend, which one of you had a crush on me and which one of you wanted nothing to do with me?
