I have watched this fine piece of of cinematic brilliance over 30 times and I'm still not tired of it. Literally, HILARIOUS, from start to finish, from the perfect "porn trak," G-Fresh, Choda Boy, Dave the lighting guy, "Sancho," Lisa, T-Rex, all the porn actors, MAXXX Orbison, and my personal favorite, A-Cup. Why hasn't A-Cup been in more movies? This upsets me. This is REQUIRED viewing. Too funny to miss. Giving you a synopsis of the story would be a waste of time. "What's that? You dirty girl! I can do that!"
Dear Lord.
I am all for modernizing Shakespeare, but only when it strengthens the story. This production is a total mess. I can only imagine Julie Taymor sat there and thought, "Yeah, I'm really digging this whole Roman thing, but what about if I throw in some Nazi stuff?? What if I dress Anthony Hopkins like the Iron Chef?? Wouldn't that be cool?"
That's only the tip of the iceberg. The story is horrible, too. There are so many stomach-churning, disturbing scenes in this movie, I lost count. Scenes that would make Marilyn Manson cover his eyes. All totally unnecessary. Leave some to the imagination!
After watching this garbage, I was left with two questions: "Why in the world did Taymor choose Shakespeare's worst play to take to the big screen, how in the world did she make it worse with her adaptation?"
