nausicaa83I just found this great cartoon by Barry Purves, and I uploaded it for everyone on my f-list. Watch it, because it's amazing:
Next!
William Shakespeare, alone on a stage, auditions for his life, in front of Peter Hall. In only five minutes, and without saying a word, he plays all his plays. Try and see how many you can recognize (I got only half of them right, I need to re-read them). I put the right order under the cut, but it's funnier to try it first:
1) HENRY V - "Wooden O" (I.prologue and "brave fleet with silken streamers" (III.prologue);
2) Julius Caesar ("Et tu");
3) Antony and Cleopatra;
4) Coriolanus (V.iii. Volumnia kneeling to her son to save Rome);
5) Henry VIII;
6) Romeo and Juliet;
7) Henry IVs (part 2, V.i.);
8) Richard II "[Dashes the glass upon the ground]" (IV.i);
9) Henry VIs (Joan of Arc and the red and white roses);
10) Richard III (the little princes);
11) Troilus and Cressida (Achilles: "Come tie his body to my horse's tail,/Along the field I will the Troyan trail." V.viii);
12) A Midsummer Night's Dream;
13) Hamlet;
14) Othello;
15) Titus Andronicus ("..there they are, both baked in this pie;/Whereof their moth daintily hath fed..." V.iii);
16) The Tempest;
17) As You Like It;
18) Macbeth;
19) All's Well That Ends Well ("When thou canst get the ring upon my finger...and show me a child beggoten of thy body...then call me husband..." III.ii);
20) Taming of the Shrew;
21) Much Ado About Nothing;
22) Merry Wives of Windsor (V.v);
23) The Merchant of Venice (III.ii)
24) King John ("The wall is high, and yet will I leap down..." IV.iii);
25) Love's Labour's Lost;
26) Pericles (III.ii);
27) Lear;
28) Comedy of Errors;
29) Two Gentlemen of Verona;
30) Twelfth Night;
31) Timon of Athens;
32) Winter's Tale ("[Exit pursued by a bear.]" III.iii);
33) Measure for Measure;
34) Cymbeline ("[Jupiter descends in thunder and lightening, sitting upon an eagle...]" V.iv).
My period started tonight, so today I'm feeling a bit sick. I watched a couple of movies: Good Night and Good Luck, which I liked, even if it left me cold. It's more a documentary than a "real" movie, so it lacks enough character development. This is the first time I've seen McCarthy, though. I obviously read about him, but I finally realized I had never seen his face before. Weird. I also watched Bruce Almighty. I never really liked Jim Carrey, but in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. This one was suprisingly funny, and even if it made no sense it still succeeded in making me laugh. I think he should try his hand at more complex roles, he looks like a good actor without good scripts.
I've also started watching Excel Saga, and I loved it. I was laughing so much I got teary-eyed, and the Cowboy Bebop spoof at the end of episode 3 almost killed me. I can't wait to see the rest! XD
