The last DVD you watched? (Cont..)

The condensed comedies, Hamlet's failed soliloquy and the Ego-Id-Superego deconstruction of Ophelia were probably my favourite bits, although I plan to watch it again very soon to take it all in.

I'm glad you liked it! One of my favorite parts is when they do Hamlet backwards. :D Oob!

In the end, I did watch The Reduced Shakespeare Company: The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged at 2.30am last night - even through my muddled tiredness, it was histerical.

 

The condensed comedies, Hamlet's failed soliloquy and the Ego-Id-Superego deconstruction of Ophelia were probably my favourite bits, although I plan to watch it again very soon to take it all in.

 

Definitely recommended to all and sundry, although I believe that familiarity with the Bard would enhance the experience and make the jokes even funnier - after all, they are all in-jokes.

I wish I'd know this was available on DVD! I saw them live doing this show when I was in college (OMG, that was about 13 years ago!) and it was pants-wettingly hilarious! :) I was one of the ones yelling "Paint an inch thick" at poor Opheila. :D

I must have nodded off during this bit 'cos I don't remember it at all :D oh well, guess I will have to watch it again now won't I?

 

@ Kell: you lucky, lucky woman!!

I really love Wall-e

 

Me too! I'd seen it at the cinema when it came out, but it was the first time my partner had seen it, so it was good to watch it again. I don't know why, but this time around, I found the first half heartbreakingly sad rather than funny, but it's still brilliant.

I thought the christmas episode was brilliant, when they found the baby on the doorstep and they were the 3 kings. :D

 

:roll: that was funny.

 

The first two series were very funny but after that it kind of ran out of steam, i thought, although it still had it moments.

 

The Taking Of Pelham 123

 

Is that the original or remake?

Yesterday Underworld 2 and 3 (didn't think 3 was that great to be honest, really missed Kate Beckinsale too, one of the most gorgeous women ever), and this morning/afternoon part of Jane Eyre (the mini-series from 2006, with Ruth Wilson). *sighs* Love it.

Is that anything like the book tapes with Trek bloopers? Those are pretty funny too.

I haven't seen the Trek bloopers, Pontalba, but I'll have to check it out! :D Trekkies is a documentary about Star Trek conventions and the people who frequent them :D.

 

We flipped between Dick Clark and Carson Daly, Cali, and man the music was bad :roll:. There were a few good Green Day songs, but I can't listen to them for too long otherwise I'd hurt myself, ugh.

Haha! I completely agree! It was (unfortunately) the best of the worst last night.
