Maybe I was just having a bad day that day (and I was, very stressful), but watching this movie with Karen (who really likes it) way back when was a terrible experience for me. Not my kind of thing. Who knows, though...maybe I'd like it now.

But if I'd still hate it, then...no worries. Even among us geeks we're allowed to have different tastes.
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Here here, Some of us are Trekkies, other Trekkers, and still other hate Star Trek, but are fanatical about Star Wars! Some like computers, others are die hard book fans. Even as a buch of geeks and nerds we still have clicks! You gotta love it. But for the most part, we all love each other becuase of our differences and we all experiance something new because one geek says to another, hey check this out, it is so sweet! I love it man. Love it!!!!

you may know the two characters from Hamlet, as the school buddies who he sentances to death instead of himself.

Now that you mention it, those are names of people in this video game Vagrant Story... Yeah, I probably should have remembered they were from Hamlet, but I like that video game more than Hamlet, heh.

Dude, Hamlet rocks, sex, drugs, women, violence. Hmmm, I don't think that my kids are going to be reading this play anytime soon.

Sure, I read the play and saw the movie... guess it didn't hold my attention as much as a video game in the end, however.

Ah, a video game junkie  ;D It's cool dude. Hamlet can be a bit tough read being in that old english. Takes a while to get used to. And video games have a habit of being a bit more interactive. But there is something to be said of a movie that is based on hamlet with a 90's twist.

The one I saw had Mel Gibson as Hamlet.

So I was checking out this movie on IMDB and Gary Oldman plays in it.  He's one of my favorite actors, so I'll have to try finding this somewhere to rent or buy.

I agree Bones. Branaughs Hamlet so kicked Mel's in the arse. But then again Branaugh knows Shakespeare.
