*beams and then on second thought, sends someone responsible (Watson?) along to supervise*

*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.

*good call, hopefully ros won't end up doing anything too terribly traumatizing to watson, other than, you know, cooking around him*

*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.

*yes, traumatising Watson is bad, as the poor man has to deal with being in love with Sherlock Holmes and by god, isn't that trauma enough already?*

*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

*must not request watson/rosencrantz, cooking, must not request watson/rosencrantz, cooking ...*

*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.

*...will probably end up writing it anyway, now that you've not-requested it, thanks*

(*dies* ...he gets it later, sort of, when he's the king.) I wish I could watch this with youuu.

Oh, yes. Might we? If I ever discover it's playing nearby, I am goign to kidnap whoever I can. Sadly, that will probably be no one but myself.

Don't say the words 'feather boa' around my Hamlet. He gets a little too excited-- I wonder why Horatio's apparently not yet aware of this. (I'm assuming so, at least. XD Without any lines, it's hard to tell.)

Hey, I'd use it.

*:D ... just remember, you didn't hear it from me! (... you must have picked it up from the rumor machine.)*

(hee hee, ros is such an adorably fierce king ... but yes yes he does. sort of.) so do iiii. wait, no. not i, not with me. but with you. you you you ~ ! and you can kidnap me for r&g any time you like ... nothing could (feasibly) make me happier. (not that any of this is very feasible ... but shh. let me dream.)

XD XD hamlet/horatio, feath bo -- eek.

^_^ and that's just the icing on the stoppard danish foursome, i'll bet.

*...that thrice-damned rumour machine! curses!*

(He is! I want one. If England existed, I would want Ros to be the king.) I'll remember that. *scribbles 'permission to kidnap granted' beside your name*

*flails* Horatio would just-- stare.

*glee!*

*giggles, bounces and hums!*

(if england never existed, i would want ros to be the king -- then he could run a conspiracy of cartographers, which should be much less stressful than running a country. shouldn't it?) ^____^

no, no, i've got it. hamlet/horatio/ros/guil, feather bo -- eek eek eek.
