Looks like it comes out on the 22nd of March. I cannot wait.

Humm..PG too, maybe I can convince EUOL to rent it someday.

[Captain Morgan]

Sprig, since when won't you watch anything other than PG?

[Spriggan]

I don't, thought I don't want to pay to rent it and EUOL's picky about what he watches, thus the "I can get EUOL to rent it" statment.

[Captain Morgan]

Ah, makes sense (cents for the pun). If I ever get the dream dual layer DVD burner I will have to make you a copy. I think Hoham played it for us once in 10th grade, if you can remember that far back.

[Spriggan]

All I remember about Hoham is Hooty & the Blowfish, Forest Gump and him shooting down our Apachie.

Funny story, after watching this movie, I got the second highest score in the class during my 12th grade English test about Hamlet.

[EUOL]

R&G is brilliant.  It is a parallel story to HAMLET, told from the viewpoint of the two side characters who get unwittingly sentenced to death in the play.  

The movie (and the play it's based on) is a comedy--sort of--but is very metaphysical, with some great discussions about fate, philosophy, and general storytelling.  It also tends to make fun of Hamlet in a very literary, intelligent way.

(Just thought I should give a bit of an overview, for those who didn't know what the movie was about.)

[Fellfrosch]

And despite that, I didn't really like the movie. I saw a local production of it that was great, however.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Was this the one in the outdoor theater where the cast was doing alternate nights Hamlet and R&G? I thought that was cool. I think it was the first time my wife saw R&G. I love that film.

[Fellfrosch]

Yes, that's the one. It's a great play if you get the chance to see it, and a great read if you just want to pick up the script sometime. Didn't like the movie, though, for reasons I can't explain.

I remember liking the movie a lot, but it's been years since I've seen it. I think I saw it sometime locally, too, while I lived in Provo.

it is possibly one of my favorite plays ever, it's up there with angels in america.
