Much Ado About Nothing
June 9, 2013 at 4:09 pm
Much Ado About Nothing is Joss Whedon's next film. Is anyone else so excited to see this?

My gods but that's horrible and corny just even more horrible. Oh, I just realized...

That's the point.

Anything by Joss Whedon is worth watching.

I'm not a Joss Whedon fan, but I enjoy Shakespeare. I'll probably see it.

I completely agree. I really look forward to his take on Shakespeare.

If only so you can observe the trainwreck that it is, no? It's about like watching Twilight: GREAT MOVIE... as an example of what not to do.

Shakespearian plays are awful these days. Somewhat good for comedic effect, though... watched romeo and juliet as a play sometime last year (during "winter"): I was busting up at the end.

Oddly, I was the only one. Maybe I'm alone in understanding that Shakespeare is a hilarious author of tragedy? Thinking

Oh, yeah?

The Avengers was mediocre and over-valued.Devil

No...

Joss Whedon doesn't seem the sort to take Shakespeare and bastardize it. From the trailer, it seems that the script is at least based on the same one Shakespeare wrote. Also, he's using actors who frequently appear in his TV shows; the chemistry between them is brilliant, and their acting ability is too.

I want to see what Whedon has got to offer this time, but I will love or hate it after I've seen it Wink
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
