Date: 2005-08-21 12:18 am (UTC)... i'm so bad at this. *flailsmore*
i also fail at typing.

Date: 2005-08-21 01:16 am (UTC)Thank you! It's very sweet, and very them, and I have to say that I absolutely love when Guildenstern tries to pretend he doesn't worry for Ros, but at the same time makes it so very obvious that he does. Also, I fianlly got the DVD tonight. *bounces*
(no subject)
Date: 2005-08-21 02:57 am (UTC)oh, thank you. *giggles* as do i, actually. guildenstern is totally a big fluffy marshmallow inside. *... is weird* and oooh, squee. i love that movie so, even after seeing it a hundred dozen times. (... what kind of number is a hundred dozen? ... a dozen hundred?) if only i were there to giggle loudly and point out silly details to you while you watch~! ^___^ ... be glad i'm not there.

Date: 2005-08-21 03:12 am (UTC)*beams* He is, isn't he? But he wants to be all prickly and such. Silly Guil. And I've only seen it... twice? twice. so I feel like a bit of a unqualified fangirl, but now I own it, so yay! I wish you were here to giggle and point out details, actually. That's always fun.
(no subject)
Date: 2005-08-21 03:56 am (UTC)and he's only prickly because of his marshmallow-ness! if he wasn't such a hopeless idealist, he wouldn't be so cynical and irritable all the time. silly guil. *nodnods and pretends that made sense* and it's okay, i'm an overqualified fangirl ... though i'll admit some things are funnier the hundred dozenth time around. like ros glomping hamlet. but then, that's always funny. XD XD and perhaps we'll have to show some movies at dfcon.

Date: 2005-08-21 04:03 am (UTC)That does make sense! Sort of. To me. He wouldn't argue so much with unless he were trying to talk himself out of something or other, after all. *bounces* I shall, perhaps, begin watching tomorrow. And many times more, I'm sure. If just to see Ros glomping Hamlet. And yes! We'd have to, you know. Lots of movies. XD
(no subject)
Date: 2005-08-21 05:16 am (UTC)yes. XD he strikes me as one of those people who is forever playing devil's advocate with himself. which explains all the unresolved sexual tension. somehow. *bounces back -- what does that mean?* you should. anything is worth seeing ros glomp hamlet. XD *is going to love dfcon, yes -- and there will be loud giggly commentary from all!*
(no subject)
Date: 2005-08-21 09:00 pm (UTC)Yesss! And I did watch, and both Ros and Guil have a bit of Hamlet-glomping to do, don't they? It made me happy.
(no subject)
Date: 2005-08-23 06:12 pm (UTC)yes, yes, they do! i love how for a moment, there's no suspicion between them and they're all just one big happy danish threesome. also, i think the way guil says "faith, her privates we" is really sexy. and i like how the scene changes before hamlet's "what a piece of work is man" and it's the same room, but it's been tidied up a bit, like an old site renovated to film a movie in -- which it very well may be -- and elsinore seems to be filled with rooms like that, almost as if stagehands have been moving things around when ros and guil weren't looking -- which they they very well might have. or like the castle knows when it's building up to something important and changes itself accordingly, but the rest of the time, it's surprisingly bare, like it's only backstage. you know?
... this is the sort of commentary you've been missing out on. you're so lucky. on top of that, i have ros in my head swooning over how shiny guil's hair is. that gets old very quickly, i can tell you.
misplaced a clause, sorry. XP

Date: 2005-08-23 07:00 pm (UTC)*flails* This is the sort of commentary I would love to have. I couldn't help; I smiled when they first met Hamlet. They were just one big happy Danish threesome and it was adorable. And-- and yes! Yes, I've noticed that and thought it was very cool. I like the 'backstage' look of the entire film-- such as when they stumble across the players performing Hamlet, they're literally backstage-- and everything feels so close, all the sets so... re-used, as they do on stage, but on stage, that feeling works, and it does in this film, too.
I just had Hamlet in my head loudly wondering where Horatio was. And me mentally telling him to act more like Iain Glen, because I love R&GAD's Hamlet. And me giggling at the chicken scene and thinking about Lord Atreus.
This reminds me! I've been waiting to tell you. TOM STOPPARD SUPPORTS DANISH FOURSOMES. I watched the interview with him that is on my DVD, except at one point I wasn't really paying attention until I swear he said something about putting on the cherries and the icing. I couldn't stop giggling long enough to rewind to see if that's what he really said.

Date: 2005-08-24 07:36 pm (UTC)*oh fine, babbles* squeeeee yes. and ros is all grinny (i love the way movie ros grins, it's so ridiculous) and even guil looks more than a little pleased (he rather enjoyed the wordplay, i think) though he doesn't glomp quite as enthusiastically as ros does. and yes -- ! oh yes. i hadn't quite realized that, that the re-used rooms are like the same stage, different set in theater, but that's the perfect way to put it. and what beautiful sets, too ... i want to figure out the significance of all those paintings and tapestries, if there are any. and the costumes! (... i'm getting slightly more superficial than the presence of meta-theater on film here, but. ros has fun sleeves.)
*snerks* r&gad's hamlet is so cute. your hamlet shouldn't be too much like him, though, or else he'd almost be as girly as guildenstern. (XD) (though, you know, i keep trying to spot horatio in the scene at the end, so. worry not, hamlet's not the only one.) ... *snerks* best conversation had by a shakespearean character and a chicken ever. though lord atreus is cooler, he hath feathers of blue.
...
...
... tom stoppard supports danish foursomes. that is, i believe, the best thing i've heard all day, the best thing that wasn't an absurdly sung shakespearean musical, anyway. XD and his recipe has icing. i wonder if the playwrights have special icing -- i'm sure they've invented the danish foursome.
(no subject)
Date: 2005-08-24 08:17 pm (UTC)*adores!* (I just love movie Ros, and the way he keeps catching on just as everyone else is moving on to a different topic--) It's that moment, I think, when you can completely believe that those three used to be friends, even if two of them don't consciously remember it. I love it. The sets are lovely, and suitably empty when they're... well, empty-- completely lifeless, like a stage when the lights are turned down and the actors are gone. It's really kind of unnerving, but in a good way. (And yes! I have to say I loved his entire outfits.)
I would love to see this performed on stage. I think it is one of my life goals. (I recently discovered that it was included in the 2003 season of one of our local professional theatres. I felt like crying.)
My Hamlet is girly enough, I think, and so we shall take your advice. I do adore R&G's Hamlet, but I said that already. (I did that, too. XD He doesn't actually get to say his lines, which it sad, but you can pick him out as the only one who isn't noticibly dead.)
I have to go and rewatch that to get the direct quote, because I think he was taking about adding things to the film adaption. But that doesn't matter, because Tom Stoppard suports danish foursomes. I don't think our recipe included icing, but it should. We got the cherries right, at least. XD
(no subject)
Date: 2005-08-25 05:09 pm (UTC)*adoresback!* ("oh you mean -- you pretend to him, and i ask you questions!") oooh yes. yes yes yes. so true. i think i can do nothing but madly agree with you and awe at the eloquence with which i'm agreeing ... your eloquence, not mine. :3
it's one my life's goals, too ... and when i discovered they did it in boulder during the colorado shakespeare festival a while back, i may not have cried, but i certainly whimpered. we'll have to see that one together some day, too. XD
well, your hamlet's only girly sometimes. when the wind's blowing north northwest. and he has to tell a hawk from a feather boa. (i thought that was him -- ! the not-dead guy. it's a pity he doesn't say his lines, it always amuses me how well they echo the player's definition of tragedy -- except i suppose it's the other way around.)
i need to watch the interviews~! and try to coin a phrase to the effect of "just the icing on the stoppard danish foursome," but i'm not sure how well it'll catch.
