They use the Mel Gibson Hamlet? Because that is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Seth had to watch the "To be or not to be" pieced together from all sorts of movies, and I swear to you Mel Gibson was worse than Adam Sandler in Billy Madison. It's so very bad.

It's some black and white dubbed German version. It's wonderful.

Mel Gibson played Hamlet? For serious? Like, in an actual, released in theaters production? Hey, remember when he wasn't crazy?

This is the atrocity spoken of. It is horrendous.

It's so bad.

Acting. You're doing it wrong.

Seriously, though, is it even possible anymore do have a production of Hamlet that isn't self-parody?
