Also a shout out to Leechboy for the head’s up on the Rylance Henry V, although I’m having a tough time picturing the essentially retiring and inward actor as the larger-than-life character, should be an interesting juxtaposition. Netflix will be busy this week..

Well, he is less bombastic than the other two. But you do get a real sense of Henry’s concern for his men. His cry of “Not today O Lord, not today” is heartbreaking.
outlierrn - good call on In the Bleak Midwinter
I liked the recent Midsummer Night’s Dream, but that may have had more to do with it being my favourite play.
I liked the Bonham Carter Twelfth Night of '96. Haven’t seen She’s The Man yet.
And as a loose adaptation, 10 Things I Hate About You was quite good.

Oh yeah, forgot Midsummer, looked fabulous but most of the acting was… hmmm… you COULD build bridges out of it, but Callista’s too thin to make a good strong bridge spar.
Ben Kingsley’s Fool was also very good…
