About the only thing I can tell you about Hamlet is that I’m sure that Yorik is dead. (“Alas, poor Yorik, for I knew him, Horatio.”)
Everybody points out the similarities to Hamlet, but virtually nobody points out the similarities to Henry IV Part 1, with Simba as Prince Hal, Timon as Ned Poins/Bardolph and Pumbaa as Falstaff.
Well, obviously the answer to this is dependent on your definition of “major,” but the short answer is No.
Hamlet, Ophelia, Gertrude, Claudius, Polonius, Laertes, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern - all dead
In addition to Horatio, Osric survives, as do the Players and the guards from the beginning Marcellus and Barnardo, but I would think those are all considered minor characters, even though the Player King has some decent lines
The idea that even including a winky smilie …
Or as the song “That’s Entertainment” puts it:
Some great Shakespearean scene
Where a ghost and a prince meet, and everyone ends in mincemeat
A scene which was brilliantly parodied in L. A. Story. Everybody remembers the “alas, poor Yorick” line, but the leadup to that is quite funny.
Yep. I’ve only ever viewed Kenneth Branagh’s 4-hour full film and that checks out.
Note: I actually did see that weird Ethan Hawke one with Bill Murray as Polonius. Boom mic made a ton of appearances in my theater. I never found out if the movie was sloppy or if the projection was opened up too much and showing parts of the film not intended to be on screen.
Roger Ebert explained that in his Movie Answer Man column years ago, that (almost certainly) the projector was framed improperly.
(flips coin) “Heads…”
Yep, that is what I remember as well. Only time I’ve seen it done and it was an art theater that actually cared about its movies.
I’ll have to stream or get it on DVD sometime to look. Sadly, my main memory of the movie is watching the boom mic pop in and out. Very low quality movies actually do have this happen, but it is rarer in movies with even some money behind them.
In Alien Private Eye, they put the boom up near a ceiling fan and all you hear is low dialogue with a fan blowing.
Cabin in the Woods 2011
Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard are pretty consistent in delivering entertainment
Highly recommend this film if you liked Buffy and Angel.
The Substance
Holy fuck this film is insane. Just pulls no punches goes nowhere you would expect wild madness and I loved every minute of it. A gross out body horror sci-fi parable about aging female bodies in Hollywood, misogyny & the male gaze, and the lengths one will go to attain beauty. All wrapped up in a wet gooshy visceral package. Demi Moore really puts herself out there, it’s quite a performance.
I am currently watching Cruel Jaws from 1995. It stole scenes from four different official Jaws movies, two other shark attack movies, the music from Star Wars, and to top it off it has a Hulk Hogan lookalike.
I love my Otherworld TV on Roku! 
My favorite line from that song.
I saw Born Yesterday for the first time around a year ago; My Cousin Vinnie is a true classic that I’ve watched at least three times. Highly recommend them both! Pretty sure I’ve mentioned both of them before.
My Cousin Vinny
I was going to watch the AEW Dynamite show but saw this movie was playing on the adjacent TNT, so I watched it instead, having wanted to see it for awhile.
It’s a brilliant film, and funny as hell.
Modern Times
Been on kind of an oldies kick, recently.
I stumbled onto a series of TV movies based on a character named Jesse Stone, starring Tom Selleck, Viola Davis and others. An LA cop gets fired for drinking on the job because his wife cheated on him, etc. So he goes to small-town MA to be the police chief. Fairly typical cop show, only missing a sulky teenaged daughter to make it unbearable. Every young woman he meets instantly wants to shag this somewhat paunchy older guy.
It’s just entertaining enough to where I’ll probably continue with it, although there are nine or ten of them.
Were there that many of them? I watched a bunch when I was home sick once, and they suited my mood and brainpower at the time. I remember there was a woman (sergeant?) character at his station that I liked.
Googling, there were nine Jesse Stone films.
