   • Daddy-O of the 7 Wonders

   @DaddyO I looked up the plot and it seemed very familiar. I realized I'd seen the 1963 remake Move Over Darling. I guess Hollywood has always recycled stuff they know works rather than creating anew.

     @DaddyO Move Over Darling is quite sweet. It's James Garner and Doris Day and they have good chemistry. I'll definitely watch My Favorite Wife. Anything with Cary Grant is worth watching.

     @DaddyO Good point. I hadn't thought of it in those terms. My Favorite Wife was an adaption of a stage play and there was a lot of that too. I think the reasons today are basically the same though: it worked before, so it'll work again. Also people refuse to watch movies that are too old for some reason.

     I think a lot of it is lack of literacy in the stage roots of acting as an art. Nobody acts anymore, they try to emulate reality

     To me the worst way to do Shakespeare is pretentiously. The crowds his plays were written for were of all classes - and most people regardless of class weren’t into that shit in their entertainment.

     Oh you also need a mom. There’s always a mom or nurse. Unless it’s one of his histories, in which case it’s optional

     @DaddyO

     How to cast shakespeare:

     At least one greasy slimy man

     At least one man who can’t get over himself

     At least one man who is crippled by love

     At least one man who just wants to get his dick wet

     At least one man who will exist only to die

     One and only one total retard

     At least one woman you would never marry but can handle bawdy banter

     At least one woman who doesn’t mind getting her tits out

     At least one woman you’d like to have children with but has a lovely wit.

     These can overlap as needed. No fake british accents allowed.

     That too, always a priest. But also can be substituted with a monk. Especially if he likes drink and mischief.

     @leyonhjelm @DaddyO My favorite Shakespeare is Jarman's version of The Tempest but I have a soft spot for Jarman. I try to see every film adaption I come across. I don't think it fits in to the casting mentioned. There are so many bad adaptions. I actually like Wheedon's Much Ado About Nothing. Why is it when a stage actor comes to the screen they are still so well liked? Stewart in STNG, Malcovich in Dangerous Liasons. They act like the actors in 40s-60s movies.

     @DaddyO @leyonhjelm No, I'll have to look that up. The cover is enticing. I like the Burton/Taylor Shrew. It's of it's time. Olivier is good in anything, even playing a Nazi in a cage in a popcorn movie. I like his Othello and Hamlet. There's nothing wrong with basically filming a stage play imo. If anything it's more authentic. The best filmed versions of Death of a Salesman I've seen Hoffman/Malcovich was basically that. It's different from watching a live production but it works.
