Thanks again to everyone who voted for Joey in the last contest! I've had a think and I can't remember a specifically themed Shakespeare contest (so hopefully at worst it's been a while). The theme is simple. Any film or TV adaptation of a Shakespeare play, or any film/TV show based in whole or in part upon a Shakespeare play. It can be a parody within a film/TV episode but it must obviously relate to a specific play(or plays) by Stratford Upon Avon's finest. What isn't allowed: things relating to Shakespeare himself. So, a version of Romeo and Juliet or a certain film starring Lesley Nielson (not The Naked Gun) that was based on a specific play are acceptable. Shakespeare in Love, or Dr Who's The Shakespeare Code are not! Hope that makes sense. I'll be aiming to get a poll up around Saturday. Usual rules (200x200 etc) apply. Oh and please specify the play(s) in question.
I learned about Shakespeare the same way I learned about all other classical literature... through The Simpsons! - Simpsons version of, er, Hamlet. Again. Is this the one you were expecting? I was torn between this and the performance in Star Trek's "The Conscience of the King"...
Great entry but that wasn't the one I was expecting Last call for entries, I'm off to see FF8 this afternoon and when I come home I'll put the poll up
I think I know which Hamlet you mean, and I'm surprised that one wasn't entered yet, too. And there are some relatively recent Shakespeare adaptations that I'm still waiting to see entered.
