I am better this day, in the perfectly weighted air and light.The grass and clover under my bare feet, the hem of my blue jeans at my ankles, the sun on my bare arms. All this and so very little more to make me happy.

Melynda and I are watching Much Ado About Nothing, one of Branaugh's finest pieces of Shakespeare. It's been year and I had forgotten how funny this movie is and how excellent the cast is. In the early hours of the morning we saw Possession which had some very well done scene shifts. Paltrow is a fine actress, and carries herself with a rare grace.

The news this morning is bad, and gets worse every hour. I can't bear to watch.

Much Ado About Nothing? It's a damn fine movie. Even with Keanu the Ironing Board.

Hahaha.
'Woah. Forsooth, dude.'

Emma Thompson is particularly perfect in it.

Muahaha

I recall a friend wondering why I thought the film was so good and complaining that Keanu was flat cardboard and two dimensional.

I replied that he was playing a villain in a Shakespearian comedy, ergo he is *supposed* to be flat cardboard and two dimensional. Okay, he took it a little far, but at least he wasn't playing Claudio.

Tag-line of my pre-17th century theatre group... "Less is more, Robert. Less is more!"

(Can the world buy such a jewel? Ay, and a case to put it in!)

Much Ado About Nothing! I adore Branagh's version of it, it's so outstandingly brilliant, every last bit of it. And the soundtrack! *draws hearts around it* The costumes!! *sighs* The cast! *faints*

Just... perfect.
