The cover of "Your Song" from this movie is my favorite rendition of any Elton John song, including his own.

Yes. Yes. yes.

Listen to Alice! It's on Netflix!! And under eighty minutes!!!

I rewatched Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead, in it's entirety, for the first time since high school last night, and I'm really wishing I had done so sooner, this movie is so entirely my shit, it's just like the perfect cozy movie. I've re-watched bits and pieces here and there, but there are entire sections I had just completely forgotten about. (I'm also WAY more familiar with Hamlet now than I was back then, so I was able to like... get the concept? better than I was back in HS, I guess?)

I don't really think there's anything I can add to the discussion, it's amazing, we all know that, but if it's been a while since you watched it, it's worth the rewatch.

I also got to have the amazing conversation with myself about trying to figure out who played Hamlet for like 80% of the movie, cause he looks almost /exactly/ like Alfie Allen, but Alfie Allen would have been like 3 when this movie was made. And then discovering, right medieval fantasy series, just the wrong actor. Apparently Alfie Allen is a spitting image of a young Iain Glenn in the right light. So TIL.

That's fair, and like for guys like Patrick Stewart who have been doing Shakespeare thier entire lives (Which BTW, he's been doing daily Sonnet readings on his twitter if you haven't seen them. Soothing af), okay, fair enough, but there's like /high schoolers/ doing these shows and I just have to look at them like "What species are you!?"

Although, speaking of languages, have you seen that video from a few years back that the Globe Theater put out about their performances in as-close-as-we-can-possibly-get-to-historically-accurate Shakespearean accents? It's like listening to a completely different show, it's amazing.
