When shall we three meet again? When the Year of Shakespeare's done, when the tortured opening paragraph's won; Somehow the loosest adaptation of the five, Thane of East County ports the story to present-ish day to a group of performers putting on Macbeth. In a move that leaves you saying "Oh this is what 'we have less-horny Gaspar Noe at home' could possibly mean", the performer playing Macduff…

This is a good example of the type of digital art I think of as "put down the smudge tool". The oil brush truly does not look like oil paint.

Welcome back to My Year of Shakespeare. This week we're watching one of the Akira Kurosawa adaptations, Throne of Blood, and I had a fantastic time with it. I watched the Criterion release, with English subtitles, so please understand that is the lens that I have viewed the film through; others may have been translated differently.

Things I enjoyed

The spirit. The spirit in the woods standing…

Welcome back to My Year Of Shakespeare, the blog series where I watch 50-plus Shakespeare adaptations and write about them.

The photo is only kind of doing it justice – in particular, they fail to capture the opera pink and the fluorescent violet, both in the sky, simultaneously. Here's a couple others with different light:
