I though Shakespeare in Love a pathetically awful movie. (Shakespeare ghost should come back and find someone to avenge those horrible writers)

I saw Joseph Fiennes in a terrible Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare Company, but he was okay in Troilus and Cressida and maybe one other play.

He was not unshaven enough, and obviously he hadn't had enough to drink.

Looks like Russell saw himself in the role.

?Crowe tells the American edition of GQ magazine, "It was a 100 per cent f**king home run except the central character of William Shakespeare was not a writer - he was not smelly enough. He was not unshaven enough, and obviously he hadn't had enough to drink. He was some prissy pretty boy."

Perhaps Crowe has confused Shakespeare with Christopher Hitchens? Or maybe Crowe is channeling Hitchens...

Obviously the latter isn't one of Crowe's deficiencies.

Let's question, in jest, the spirit of William Shakespeare:

Civil Unions?

The Bard:


Unsex me here!

Who is he that is not of woman borne? Surely, the angel they must serve would have told them that they were borne of woman.

Divinity of Hell!

When devils will the blackest of sins put on, they do suggest at first with heavenly shows, as they do now.

They are of a free and open nature, that thinks men honest that but seem to be so, and will as tenderly be led by the nose as asses are.

All the world is a stage for such villainous parody from these that have so slender a claim to be admitted to the table of the Saints.

It was written by Tom Stoppard who may be the world's greatest living dramatist and has spent his career deconstructing Shakespeare. It was witty and romantic. What didn't you like about it?
