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:

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm still always going to be sad that I'll never see Alan Cummings' one-man Macbeth, but Branagh/Kingston sounds like an excellent consolation prize (if prize is even an appropriate word for that play (and now I have to go rewatch S2 of Slings & Arrows right now)).
I really, really loved the Whedon ensemble Much Ado. Better than Branagh's? I dunno, and I dun care. It's Shakespeare; it's meant to have multiple takes on it out there floating around. I want more Much Ados. More all of them. Except that really all the Much Ados from now on into perpetuity should have Fillion and Lenk.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Lenk is tiny. Talking to Lenk and Danny Strong a a party made me feel not-short which is very rare occurrence.

Lenk is tiny.
Okay. Because Nathan Fillion looked HUGE next to him. It was crazy.
