It may be the former English teacher in me, but I was quite delighted by Joss Whedon’s take on Much Ado About Nothing. Moving Shakespeare to “contemporary” time can often seem forced or gimmicky, but not in this case. Excellent black-and-white photography and a cast that has mastered the language so that it is natural and flows “trippingly on the tongue.”

I haven’t seen ANY of these!
How the hell do you have time
To see all these films; travel the
World with your first bride; dinners
Out; grand-kid watching/spoiling;
read All those pinko, tree hugging, liberal
Books; AND send endless blog memos
To all of your exhausted friends???

Sean,
I’ve always been an overachiever, no doubt to make up for certain inadequacies as my present wife {45 years} and wandering kids {34 & 30} can no doubt detail.
