benvolio MollyGoLightly A character in that tired old play, I know. Today while I was on my way to my new job I saw a huge green van with "benVOLIO!" written on the left passenger's side window. So it's also someone's battle cry, apparently. 000523 ... donaldson have ya ever seen the old franco zeferelli movie of 'that tired old play'? the way they run through the streets shouting the family name as a rallying/battle cry always gets to me. other than that, i think it's a wonderful movie, much better than the update... 000524 ... Brad Seen the old one, not the update. The old one is good... the update looked horrendous. 000524 ... MollyGoLightly The update had potential...utterly gorgeous cinematography--a very good looking movie. But it wound up being nothing more than a choppily edited (but in a calculated way, like an hour and a half long music video) overblown piece of crap with awful acting. 000524 ... bird as black as night it wasn't really my cup of tea, but i think Shakespeare would have approved. Outfitting his characters in the proper garb and surroundings of their time is a purely modern conceit, so grudgingly i must admit that the update was, in essence, truer to his ideas ('cept maybe for the guns) 000524 what's it to you? who go blather from
