Well, I haven't looked it up myself, but that was what the requested had found somewhere - and it fits with what we see. (Well. Er. As much as anything does!) In the multifandom pantheon of anthropomorphised Deaths, none of them are as sparkly as 1980s Pop Death. Discworld Death finds it showy but secretly envies her that star tinsel crown. He wouldn't mind just one of those shiny stars where nobody can see it.

(Or maybe it was 1990s, if I was recording it on tape?)

Are Brutus and Cassius supposed to be that flirty?! And I love that parade at the beginning. It's a constant stream of "Look! It's him! Off Thingy!" And Cassius posing in the tent doorway is a scream. :)

1978 BBC Julius Caesar is a thing of beauty for all these reasons plus some actual genuine awesome. I, er, don't know how flirty Cassius and Brutus should be, but in the 1978 one Cassius basically decides that Brutus is not paying him enough attention, so he will try and win him back with a proposed stabbing of his annoying friends he doesn't like because that will go well. Then they all die tragically, except for the guy who falls dead on Cassius the wrong way round, of course.

The posing in the doorway is... David Collings. :loL: (I may once when very, very ill have hugged my slimline DVD copy of this in gratitude for its mere existence and then fallen into a feverish doze and forever wrinkled its plastic as a result. My Julius Caesar DVD has thus been loved too well!)
