I heard that Macbeth was pretty crap and clearly sold on the promise of "Realistic and sexy like Game of Thrones but highbrow so awards." I don't know, but I've never heard anyone even try to reappraise it, so "mediocre and forgettable" is probably the verdict.

Yeah it was fine, nothing groundbreaking, ‘crap’ is harsh.

Branagh's Shakespeare is legit. Henry IV, Hamlet, Much Ado are all worth a drat. I'd also recommend Richard III with Ian McKellen which is set in Nazi Germany:

Henry V is good, Much Ado is entertaining but frothy. Twenty five years ago I rated Hamlet pretty highly, but in retrospect (and with a much greater understanding of the text) there’s a lot of very questionable choices, and a great deal of Ken’s performance shows a poor understanding of the character, and is frequently overwrought as a substitute. I remember enjoying the Richard III at the time, but I haven’t seen it since the 90’s.

The saddest part is that Amy Acker, Clark Gregg, and Nathan Fillion are actually really good, but it's so hard to shake the "gently caress me this guy actually lives like this" vibe.

Agreed. And it sounds like a fun concept until you're watching it and you realize "Oh no. This guy is just another rich rear end in a top hat."

Thanks for asking. I prefer the first floor bathroom as it's more accessible. Please be on time for your swirly, you big dork.

Meow does a bastard, orphan, kitten of a whore
And a Scotscat, dropped in the middle of a furgotten spot in the Cat-ribbean by purrovidence impawverished,
In squalor, grow up to be a lion and a scholar?

There would have been nothin' left to mew for someone less ast-mew-te
He woulda been dead or destit-mew-te without a cent of restit-mew-tion
Started workin', mousin' for his late mother’s landlord
Tradin' catnip and rum and all the things he can’t afford
Scammin' for every cat toy he can get his claws on
Plannin' for the mew-ture see him now as he rests his paws on
The meow of a ship headed for a mew land
In Mew York you can be a mew man

I'm genuinely ignorant/confused, how was Harriet Tubman-- a woman born 2 states away 20 years after Alexander Hamilton died-- "left out?"

The rest is spot-on though.

Are you implying that RAP isn't music? You might want to broaden your view of the world, if you think that. You might not like the pop version of RAP, but it is a very wide and diverse genre.
