The_Triple_Lindy 2482 Posted January 18, 2018 Ran is $7.99 on iTunes right now. I’ve been eyeballing it for awhile now. It's as good as anything Kurosawa ever did. $8 is probably reasonable since physical copies are hard to come by for less. And I Ran... Why don't you tell my man where you got the shit hid at ... 4 Share this post Link to post

Quasar Sniffer 4174 Posted January 19, 2018 Ran and Throne of Blood are total classics and I love them. I need to give them a re-watch. Ran does require patience though. No Nathan Lane to cheer you up and get you through that 162 minutes (of blood and despair) running time. 5 Share this post Link to post
grudlian. 4725 Posted January 19, 2018 Ran is $7.99 on iTunes right now. I’ve been eyeballing it for awhile now. Buy this. It's absolutely worth way more than that. It's good enough that I bought multiple copies on DVD. 4 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Sniffer 4174 Posted January 19, 2018 On the subject of modernized Shakespeare, I also have a soft spot for the TNT TV movie version of King Lear starring Patrick Stewart, titled King of Texas. I missed it when it first aired, but then I watched it a couple years later in college when I was doing big retwatch of Star Trek: The Next Generation so I was ALL UP IN Patrick Stewart at the time. Sure, I haven't watched it since then and it could very well be garbage, but it's Patrick Stewart + Shakespeare ÷ Old West. How could I not have affection for it? 6 Share this post Link to post

I visited Stratford-upon-Avon to tour the Shakespeare houses and literally all I remember is the gift shop that had for sale b&w photos of a young Patrick Stewart in a loin cloth from a Shakespeare production. 6 Share this post Link to post
Cinco DeNio 5290 Posted January 19, 2018 Buy this. It's absolutely worth way more than that. It's good enough that I bought multiple copies on DVD. I bought it on Amazon so I could watch it on my big-screen TV. Thanks for the recommendation! 2 Share this post Link to post

Cinco DeNio 5290 Posted January 19, 2018 It's not modernized Shakespeare but I've been enjoying the Hollow Crown series of RIchard II, Henry IV (Parts 1 & 2) and Henry V. I really need to buy the DVDs as the copies I have are lousy. They've done more but I haven't seen those. Amazon has Season 1 (the ones I mentioned above) streaming for $9.99. I'll buy that. 4 Share this post Link to post

Oh yes, I totally endorse The Hollow Crown. I mean... that cast is pretty immaculate and everyone plays their role exactly as splendidly as one would hope. Nicely done. And... my desktop background? 5 Share this post Link to post
