Elder and Younger GreenKids have been watching "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern" today. They

[GreenPartyVoter]

are enjoying it quite a bite more than I thought they would at their ages.

I haven't watched it since college. I'd forgotten how much fun it was! :D

[Lars39]

1. Ah, "Guildenstern and Rosencrantz".

With the ever popular Gary Oldman, too. :sigh: :)

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. And Tim Roth too. :^D

[Lars39]

5. I used to think he was kinda wormy looking, but he's looking better as he ages.

Not that I dwell on that or anything. ;)

[supernova]

6. He's looking great in Lie To Me

:D

[Lars39]

7. Oh, my. Yes, indeedy.

I'm a sucker for those glasses, too. :D

[supernova]

8. Can't help it

I still think about that preening ponce he played in Rob Roy. :rofl:

But this is a great character. :thumbsup:

[Lars39]

9. I'll be adding that one to the que. :^)

[GreenPartyVoter]

10. You know, I've see ads for that but have yet to watch it. That good?

[supernova]

12. Yeah, it's interesting

I've only watched it once, but I'll tune in again.

It's about looking at people's really small facial tics, the expression before the expression they want you to see, so to speak.

If I wasn't self-conscious before, watching it certainly made me more so!

:silly:

He's a House-type character, except about psychology.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Micro-expressions. I learned about the from Detective Goren on L&O CI. Very

intriguing stuff!

[Orsino]

3. Ah. The movie.

I fell asleep watching it many, many years ago, but I had a blast at a recent stage production, so I think the film deserves another look. Times being what they are.

He's talking to himself again!

[GreenPartyVoter]

4. Yes, it is a rather quiet movie. Nothing being blown up, no machine guns. Hence my

amazement that the boys were riveted to it. (Well, until they needed to take a video gaming break halfway through. :P)

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. Love that movie...

I saw it for the first time in my senior English class. My friends and I used to spend hours amusing ourselves playing games of "Questions" at the lunch table after we watched it.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Yeah, my bro and I did the same. I was quite happy to find that it was featured

on "Whose Line is It Anyway?" Both versions of the show.

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. It's such a strangely addictive game...

and hard as hell!

[FedUpWithIt All]

15. I was loaned a copy right after Christmas. I have long adored this film.

One of the best ever made IMHO. Certainly on my top ten. Brilliant good time.


:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. Sure is. And a fun way to ease kids into the world of Shakespeare.

[Greyskye]

18. Have they started playing 'Questions' yet?

[Taverner]

19. Why would you ask?

[Greyskye]

20. Isn't curiosity a good enough reason?

[Taverner]

24. Who needs reasons?

[Greyskye]

25. Is not the ability to reason the ultimate goal of man?

[Taverner]

26. Goal? Why do we need goals? Isn't eating, sleeping, working and dying enough?

[Greyskye]

27. Are you merely an unthinking animal?

[Taverner]

28. Why shouldn't I be?

[Greyskye]

29. Don't you long for more?

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. More of what, exactly?

[Greyskye]

31. Isn't it obvious?

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. Who said it wasn't?

[Greyskye]

33. Why are you changing the subject?

[GreenPartyVoter]

34. Am I the same person who began this conversation with you?

[Greyskye]

35. Under the circumstances, is that relevant?

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. Do we lose points for joining the game late?

[Greyskye]

41. Which game would that be?

[GreenPartyVoter]

42. What have we been doing all this time?

[Greyskye]

43. Don't you know?

[GreenPartyVoter]

44. Do I look like I have a clue about anything?

[Greyskye]

45. When did I last see you?

[GreenPartyVoter]

46. In real life?

[Greyskye]

47. What other kind is there?

[GreenPartyVoter]

48. Have you seen this?

http://secondlife.com/

[Greyskye]

49. Why does that give me the creeps?

[GreenPartyVoter]

50. Did you know that I know someone who works for that company?

[Greyskye]

51. Do they give you the creeps?

[GreenPartyVoter]

52. Did I mention we were childhood pals?

[Greyskye]

53. Is that relevant?

[GreenPartyVoter]

54. Wasn't it self-explanatory?

[Greyskye]

55. Are you questioning my sagacity?

[GreenPartyVoter]

56. Should I have brought along a dictionary?

[Greyskye]

57. Do you feel that you need one?

[mcctatas]

21. Is there a choice?

[Taverner]

22. Do you want a choice?

[mcctatas]

23. What are you driving at?

[Rabrrrrrr]

36. Have they also watched Hamlet? I love Kenneth Brannaugh's version.

There are some truly amazing shots in that one - amazing for both camera work AND the acting; some long scenes shot in one take, and so forth.

[GreenPartyVoter]

37. Not yet. I'll have to look for that one. :^)

[Rabrrrrrr]

39. I think they'll get Rosencrantz and Guildenstern better if they know Hamlet

My first experience with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was seeing it live at Stratford (in Canada) many years ago, the day after seeing Hamlet there - and they used the same cast in both plays, which was great.

[GreenPartyVoter]

40. Yeah, I found myself giving the Cliffs notes version as we went along. I bet

that was a great performance that you saw. Man what a lot of memorization, doing two plays at once!

[Lorien]

58. Loved it!

! still want to get that one on DVD. A classic. :-)
