So, as I mentioned in my last 100 Things post, giraffes is a really good word to stick in the Shakespeare Quote Generator.

And now I need to go away for a bit, but that was your Thursday am wake-up Nonsense Post with giraffes. Thank you.

I posted Fall of Eagles yesterday, so... it'll either have reached you now, or should turn up on Monday. :-)

It hasn't - but no doubt it will on Monday.

I do now have Henry V - so should I watch Henry or Richard III first? Or doesn't it matter?

Is it the BBC Henry V? If so, you should probably watch it first. It is pretty bad, except for the play being amazing itself, and David Gwillim being v good in the title role. Also, it's chronological that way. :-) If it is the Brannagh or even the Olivier, you should watch it second, otherwise that is unfair to the BBC Richard III, which can never be as shiny as a film. (Richard III will however look brilliant if you've just been watching my dearly-beloved-but-really-terribly-bad version of Henry V where they all wear curtains.)

:-)

Or whichever you feel like. :lol:

It's the BBC Henry V - that's why I didn't get hold of it until today - Oxford Central library only had the Brannagh one. I had to request the BBC one from another branch.

Right, so Henry tomorrow and Richard on Monday. It's Shakespeare season, apparently, as I've been eyeing up King Lear and Comedy of Errors (both of which star Michael Kitchen)!

A Shakespeare Season sounds lovely to me!! :-)

I hope you like them both, anyway; lots of people really don't like the BBC versions, or some of them, particularly the Henriad, but I do like David Gwillim. And Alec McGowan is good as Chorus, and there's Julian Glover. And, if not, well, the Michael Kitchen ones must be okay!!

To me too!

Well, I don't for one second believe Michael Kitchen's ever given a bad performance in his life - and given how long and steadily he's been in work, I'm sure I'm right on that score!

Anywho - I will report back - I'll probbaly blog about it on my Pers Books Tumblr, and then x-post to my LJ.

:-)
