Shakespeare Meme that Never Ends

Day #20: Your favorite movie adaptation of a play

I can't think of a single theatrical release that was a movie adaptation of a play that I've actually seen. I never saw 'Ten Things I Hate About You' although it looked sort of clever, and I never saw 'She's the Man' which was supposedly based on 12th Night, and I can't think of anything else at the moment.

So I'm going to cheat a bit and say my favourite adaptation is Shakespeare Retold, the BBC series. Out of that, I have to say I liked Much Ado About Nothing the best - mostly because Hero basically told Claudio she wasn't going to marry his un-trusting arse after humiliating her. The Maccers one was pretty awesome, too, mostly because they called Gordon Ramsey 'The Scottish Chef' becuase they Dare Not Speak His Name.

Sometimes Facebook Makes Me Lose Faith In Humanity

One of my high school acquaintances just put an 'anti-mosque' rant on her FB, and it just makes me aggravated. Well, actually, in her defense, she says she thinks it would just be a target for anti-Muslim feelings and maybe they should just go somewhere else to be safe, but it still kind of comes from the same place as the idiots who hear 'mosque' and that's it.

It frustrates me no end, because I don't understand why otherwise intelligent people insist on seeing everything in binary terms. People who were Muslim bombed the Trade Center, therefore all Muslims are evil.

Do they not see that by building an Islamic center (Not just a Mosque, mind you, a center) it is saying to the world that we do not hate. That we say to those who seek to demonize us that we are not the intolerant, evil, godless villains of the piece, and that we wish to see past our differences in order to reach peace and understanding.

But no. These people want to have their black hats and white hats and to tar all people with the same brush, at the same time decrying the terrorists who are doing the same the same think.

Rant over.
