I'm calling it The Ten Minute Play Podcast, where I present a new, complete 10 minute play each week

awww thanks guys. I went to see Black Panther and then got drunk on mojitos and cheap Tex-Mex

as soon as I saw the trailer I was like "this is prime HDTGM material"

Great pick! and sorry I haven't been around guys, I stupidly decided to start my own podcast and that's been eating up a lot of my time Plus Saturday was my birthday

Controversial pick here but.... SPEED RACER I love this movie totally and completely.

I'm just getting around to listening to this week's ep and I realized that for yers I've had Judgement Night and Freejack confused. I thought Freejack was Emilio Estevez and Cuba Gooding Jr on the run from Denis Leary and Judgement Night was Emilio Estevez in the future. I'm having a hard time reconciling this in my brain.

Ha! I didn't even notice all the different spoilers! this cracks me up

I've been avoiding LaLa Land but not for any particular reason. I'm kind of excited to watch it finally.

I learned on 3.5 and then moved over to Pathfinder. I started with a group running 5e back in like September or October and I'm really enjoying it, at least at the lower levels. But it is pretty balanced, we ran a session with a couple of wizards, a necromancer, and one other non=fighter and did okay. I'm running a Elf Bladesinger, so I kind of fell into the fighter/tank role role. Also the 16th or the 9th should work for me.

I watched it high in 96 I think it was, because I thought it was expected you watch this kind of movie high. It was...disturbing. I didn't abandon ship but it stayed with me a long long time.

Okay Cameron usually posts this, but I haven't seen it it yet, so if i'm jumping the gun, IGNORE ME (or if I screwed up rotation) But I think it's Joel_Rosenbaum's pick this week... Am I ahead? Am I behind? Am I lost? Where am I? whose that girl?

re: WSS I'm guessing Spielberg will want to use Lin-Manuel Miranda in some aspect. My biggest concern is that you have a story that features Latinx characters being written and directed by Tony Kushner and Steven Spielberg. Not that the original was better in that regard, but in this day and age, there is no reason for a Latinx shouldn't be involved in the creative process. On the other hand, ever since the Anything Goes number of Temple of Doom, I've always thought Spielberg should direct a musical.

probably the Hannah-Barbera ones, at least in my opinion.

That's how I watched it in college (community college even!) I can't wait

I've seen JP3 more then any of the other movies with the exception of the original Jurrasic Park. As for my favorite "modern" adaption, on the tragedy side I really like "O" and on the comedy side, probably "She's The Man" (I LOVE Twelfth Night)

Branagh being too good is the same issue I had with the "mechanicals" (as they are referred to in Midsummer Night's Dream). He populated those characters with trained Shakespearen and Broadway actors (Spall, Lane, Briers, etc) an das a result they and Branagh stood out with a command of the language and what they were saying that some of the others did not.

I really like LAST PODCAST ON THE LEFT, WE HATE MOVIES, and GILMORE GUYS (well right now it's MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL GOYS and Alice Vetturland is co-hosting, but it's on the Gilmore Guys feed).

depends on the blend of tobacco, but dear god yes.

they are all delicious?

And for irony, this came up in my facebook "Memories on this day" thing I photoshopped this in 2011 after hearing Nic Cage would have been in the Green Hornet movie, but only if he could do it with a Jamaican accent.

can I just say whoever designed that poster really seemed to want to invoke Branagh's Midsummer Night's Dream

I rented it on Vudu and had issues with the streaming so I rented it again from YouTube and it was seemless (plus 48 hours compared to Vudu's 24) so if you rent, avoid Vudu.

I really enjoyed this movie but (like most of Shakespeare's comedies) I enjoyed the commoners more then I enjoyed I the "nobility" and I think it's obvious Branagh does do as he cast the better actors, the more classically trained in those roles (Lane, Spall, Briers, McEwan, etc). I will say, this is the movie that made me go pause on the Lillard hate (I have yet to see SLC Punk--SORRY!). I'm glad you brought up Branagh's Hamlet Cameron, because that was my thought too. Hamlet is a sweeping 4-hour, not a single word cut film that takes place on the cusp of World War 1. this is a sweeping, hour and a half light musical comedy heavily cut set (ostensibly) at the cusp of WW2. It's interesting to me, too, because I just finished acting in Hamlet (It was a recorded podcast drama that I also edited. I can provide a link if anyone wants). I wonder if Branagh was making a statement about how we went from War to the roaring 20s back to war. Of the nobles that surprised me was Adrian Lester. I also appreciated that Branaugh went with mixed race couples. the number that worked the least for me was the masquerade ball scene, it just seemed too sexualized for this particular time period. From a Shakespearan perspective, I will say that making LLL makes a lot of sense as music plays an important part in the finale. I also had to wonder, having read Kevin Smith's blogs from around this time, if Weinstein pushed for Silverstone and Lillard to be in this? Smith talks about how Weinstein pushed him to cast Reese Witherspoon in Dogma (I think it was--I'd have to google this). Silverstone and Lillard were pretty hot commodities at Miramax at this time, again IIRC and while Lillard held his own, Silverstone seemed out of place. I also have to wonder if they had had more then 3 weeks rehearsal if that would have made a difference. Minor trivia! Branagh's role (Berwone) is believed to have been played by Will himself back in the day.

I THINK the implication was that Jonah was tapping into his "satanic-magic" (or we the audience are supposed to belive that) so that when The Accountant (William Fitchner version NOT Ben Affleck version) reveals that Satan is just a nice guy who doesn't like child sacrifice and is just like the Warden from Orange is the New Black, we, the audience are supposed to forget that Jonah has these Satan powers. What should have happened was introducing a third denzien of hell who is helping Jonah because he wants to overthrow hell or something. I don't know. It makes no sense.
