re: #652 Lidane

I don’t like tween adaptations of Shakespeare either, but the way they did Romeo & Juliet is cute in the sense that adults will get the references and the larger play at work. Kids will see a movie about two families of garden gnomes fighting over their respective gardens while a boy from one garden wants to be with a girl from the other.

They also have a scene in the middle of the film with a statue of Shakespeare (played by Patrick Stewart) talking about the real play with Gnomeo (James McAvoy) and telling him how it *should* end.

They should remake every Shakespeare production and include the sassy gay friend.” Although I have stopped watching SGF since they became commercials for that pocket kool-aid stuff.
