"You know what Casanova means in Latin? Lucky bastard."

Just because I need to share: have received Casanova and Shakespeare Retold! Have rewatched the first episode of Casanova and oh how I love it and David Tennant and Laura and Rupert and the rest of them too. ...I just reread myself and realised that that "Rupert" would likely make everybody go "Everett?" when in fact, no, Penry-Jones.

Can't wait to get started on the Shakespeares, especially Macbeth - I knew it starred James McAvoy and Keeley Hawes, but I had no clue Richard Armitage was in it as well! I will love Macduff as I never have, I'm sure. Much Ado has also always been a favourite of mine, and I'm looking forward to seeing Damian Lewis in such a part. The Taming of the Shrew, of course, Rufus! I don't understand how they could cast so many of my favourite actors in those films. And finally, Midsummer, which I studied two years ago and have never actually seen a good adaptation of. Puck is just... yeah. I don't know the guy that plays him, though, we'll see. Fingers crossed! You can expect full rants about each and every one of those films.
