    Hi Intet,

    At the Costco Store where I shop there is no candy or anything else that can get one's kids hyperactive and shrieking. As a matter of fact, I believe its a Costco policy to not have any items for sale in the immediate vicinity of the cash register.

    Back on topic: My gal and I are going to watch "Hamlet" directed by Kenneth Branagh.

    Cheers,

    CD
    *If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-

    *Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."

    *Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

    Eh man, Corno Dolce.

    Some people are lucky, some ainīt. "Hamlet", directed by Kenneth Branagh. Itīs on the white screen, right sir? Perhaps one of the modern editions? Like the "Romeo and Julie" movie with Leonardo DiCapiro and some chick, whose name I canīt recall.

    Eh man, Corno Dolce

    I have not seen this one, itīs all new released in 2008 for DVD. I was thinking of Othello with Kenneth Branagh and also the american actor Denzel Washington.

    My favourite of all the plays by William Shakespeare made for the movies is "MacBeth", starring the English actor Oliver Reed and the English actress Susan York. I believe it must be some 25 years old. Once in my late teens, I bought the collected plays by WS. Rather difficult to read though, since most of the language is in the old English, with expressions not known in the Danish language.

    William Shaespeare always made an impression on most people, and his plays are as relevant today as then, because they have the same ingridiences of today like hatred, jealousy, love, ambition, power, conspiracy and murder by the numbers.

    There was a strange edition of a WS play a couple of years ago made by Al Pacino with one of my top fave. actors on the american screen, Kevin Spacy. I particular love him in the movie "The Usual Suspects". They, the critics and the paper reviewers in England once said: The americans canīt act WS plays, which Al Pacino proved to be wrong. But I guess the English treasure William Shakespeare, like the Danes treasure H. C. Andersen and the Swedish treasure Evert Taube?

    Kevin Spacy has shown to be a very good jazz singer as well with a big band. I saw him sing on the English longer-than-anything-else-going-talk-show "Parkinson". He is realy cool!!

    Just seen Senna. Not a huge Formula 1 fan, but it was spellbinding... and the last films of him before his untimely death on 1 May 1994 were very poignant.. he was distracted, moody, as if he knew.....

    Glengarry GlennRoss, starring Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Alan Arkin, Ed Harris and Kevin Spacey. This film was as good as I remember it being from the first time I saw it.

    Please read my new book "How To Live With Dementia and Not Really Care"

    I think you are right Steve. The good thing about alzemisers is that you only ever have to buy 1 film. I am sure I have seen both films but with my memory,who knows.

    teddy I think

    I haven't seen the entire film yet, been very busy lately. But I did catch this clip from Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator. So the film is on my list of movies to see.

    Watched the original version of the Thomas Crown Affair last night. Still as enjoyable as when I first saw it many years ago. And the song Windmills of your Mind still turns me on
