Oh, I wanted him as Charles Brandon, for sure. He was awesome in that, and BEAUTIFUL.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

We saw Much Ado About Nothing tonight. Man, Clark Gregg was born to be filmed in black and white. I mean REALLY. I can't really explain why he just stood out to me, but he just looked so very right in B/W.
Also, holy jeebus, Joss Whedon's HOUSE.
Otherwise, uh, I think I watched the Kenneth Branagh version too much at an impressionable age. (What? I was impressionable at 22!) I couldn't help comparing the two films, particularly Beatrice and Benedick, and I found that I really preferred the Branagh version.
I feel traitorous.

Well, Branagh may have skotch more Shakespeare training.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My neighbor's kids are named Beatrice and Benedict (not twins). They swear it was unintentional.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They swear it was unintentional.
Pfft.

I would like to see Branagh do MacBeth. I loved his Henry V and Hamlet.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
How was Fillion's HodgeDogberry?

Definitely good. He and Tom Lenk were hilarious together. (Is Tom Lenk tiny, or Fillion huge, or both?)
I forgot how ridiculously attractive Alexis Denisof and Sean Maher are. (And remembered how much I like scruffy!Wesley.)

I would like to see Branagh do Macbeth.
You know that he's going to be playing the role soon, right? Alongside Alex Kingston as Lady M.:
The performance will be shown in UK cinemas as part of the National Theatre Live programme, but I don't know if will be available in the US.
Edit: it looks as though it will be shown in some US cinemas and they're "announcing more venues shortly". This is the relevant webpage:
