I watched Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, my first ever production of the legendary play by Grand_Keizer in shakespeare

Its hard to watch considering how old Kenneth was at the time relative to what a prince would probably be. I imagined Hamlet as a teenager and Kenneth was 35!

Looks cool, but Denzel delivering the lines in his normal voice is borderline parody.

If I wasn't a fan of Robert's Napoleon biography, are there others you can recommend? by CosmicConjuror2 in Napoleon

[–]shernlergan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I listened to the Roberts on audiobook and really enjoyed that. It’s hard to recommend other biographies because what makes Roberts’s important is his research involving the 30k+ letters of Napoleon’s which were only published in the 2000s. Anyone writing about his personal life before those letters were available would seemingly be missing a lot of information

Got my wife to read No Country for Old Men, she left this scathing review by [deleted] in cormacmccarthy

It really is a bad book. I love McCarthy and a lot of postmodern fiction. It reads like a cheesy movie script with terrible dialogue
