Jumping topics entirely now: I have not seen KB's film of Loves Labours Lost. I like the work that KB does with Shakespeare -- I thought that his Hamlet was incredible![**] Still, I don't think that even he could save this one. The text is Just Too Boring! The fact that you just wandered away from it is good evidence of this... and it made me laugh, too! *grin*

I've seen it.

It had a really good cast, but unfortunately the conceit of the staging really didn't work for me. And trying to do it as a musical just made it even worse, if such a thing can be imagined. Ian McKellen could pull off a quasi-Between-the-Wars staging and make it a success -- Branagh couldn't.
