Doing R&J but everyone is a wildly offensive Italian stereotype. Tybalt is just a bowl of ravioli.

A genuine question for those defending every casting decision in The Odyssey…

If someone adapted Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and completely reimagined the nationality, appearance, or traditional portrayal of several iconic characters…

Would you still say:

“The best actor should always get the role.”

Or would you suddenly start talking about staying faithful to Shakespeare?

That’s why this debate fascinates me.

Should we judge every classic by the same standard…

Or do we only defend creative freedom when it’s our favorite director

The best way to be a patriot today is to listen to the Robert Duvall Hall of Fame episode of @TheBigPic with @SeanFennessey and Tracey Letts

Baby has gotten good at identifying “dada” but still struggling with surrealism, cubism, even baroque.

the main reason why none of the post-lena dunham "voice of my generation" tv shows are the voice of anyone beyond annoyign LA nepo babies is that nobody is willing to put themselves through the torment nexus like lena dunham was

I reviewed TROY for my high school
paper and at the end of year was given an award by our editors for “staffer most likely to murder the director of TROY 2.”

Pitt was a big reason why.

[Joe Bernstein @Bernstein]

Again: 41 year old guy here. At the time Troy came out, Pitt’s casting and performance were considered a movie-ruining disaster.

Finally, technology has caught up with 1940s Argentinan literature

One of my favorite pieces of etymology is that the name Nimrod is in the Bible and was a great hunter. In the 1940s, Bugs Bunny sarcastically called Elmer “Nimrod”, but many kids didn’t get the biblical reference so they assumed that Nimrod meant moron.

Richard Burton reciting this piece from Hamlet ("I have of late but wherefore I know not...") is definitely worth your attention.

The concept of never enjoying the art of a problematic artist has only led more people to insist clearly problematic artists have never done anything wrong

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1:

Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight?
Me: Yes they're done.
Partner: Why are they still dirty?
Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.

I'll be honest - I didn't think they were capable of conceiving of something like this in the 18th century

depaul coming up with $42 million for their new basketball facilities and then immediately proceeding to close their art museum and student theater is a pretty scathing indictment of the institution and also society as a whole

When I saw The Invisible Man, I spent the entire movie thinking “wow this is perfect modern premises for this character. How did they do it?”

When I saw (sigh) Lee Cronin’s The Mummy I was baffled by how hell they settled on THIS premise for the update.

[david ehrlich @davidehrlich]

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy: don’t be fooled by the title, this is totally anonymous horror filmmaking. bland, mean but not in a fun way, and builds to an ending that totally misunderstands the movie.
