now that I am way behind everyone else

Things I do not want to do:

• Grade papers
  
• Wash dishes or clean my fridge
  
• Post about What That Anniversary Means To Me
  
• Post about how totally depressed I've been lately

So instead I will return to the 30 Increasingly Non-Consecutive Days of Shakespeare meme. I know most people decided "adaptation" means "doesn't use Shakespeare's words," but I figure

That is a great movie (I am sure I will love it even more if I ever get to see it other than sliced-up-on-YouTube). I've probably said this to you before, but my absolute favorite part is the way Hal says his 'I am just goofing around and am going to betray all my friends one day' directly TO Falstaff, which is completely in the spirit of his character and their relationship but adds this whole other layer to it. *happy sigh*

It's such a brilliant film. If I were teaching the Henry IVs, I would totally show bits in class.

... a little bit of The Merry Wives of Windsor which I have managed to spot before, but always forget where it is

It's the bit where Falstaff gets the Hostess (the Host in MWW) to offer Bardolph a job as a tapster. It's pretty much blink-and-you'll-miss-it.

Oh, right! I do know that, but when I'm done watching the movie I forget, every time.

W. B. Worthen says all performance is adaptation, so there you go-- choose whatever you will. :)

Is it available on DVD? Because I seriously need a copy for my Shakespeare collection.
