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...

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.

Buy this. It's absolutely worth way more than that. It's good enough that I bought multiple copies on DVD.

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?

I have never even heard of this, but it's now shot to the top of my watchlist!

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.

I bought it on Amazon so I could watch it on my big-screen TV. Thanks for the recommendation!

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.

Didn't need to. The image has been permanently tattooed on my brain.

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?

Apparently the side view is not too bad... (This is the only pic I could find.)

Anyone know what production that Pat Stew image is from? I’m guessing A Midsummer’s Night Dream...

Correct. He played Oberon in 1977.
