Just finished Oliver Parker's rendition of Othello.

Laurence Fishburne was a bit, er, sort of like Morpheus playing Othello, complete with a nifty idle-sword-holding pose. Perhaps he was just born with the matrixey badassness.
And also the whole thing was condensed to the point where Iago seems at times like a trite, pure evil (rather than amoral) villain, so some good subtlety was lost there.
Kind of a shame, but still, Kenneth Branagh did a fine job with the Iago provided by the screenplay.
And in spite of the highly whittled script, the direction, art direction, and acting were enough to make it a pretty damn good movie overall. Anyhow, you can't hardly go wrong with Shakespeare, and you can't hardly go wrong with a story with a villain protagonist, especially one so cunning as Iago. But of course, his eventual downfall can be attributed to operating by cunning alone, thinking that passive-agressive prodding and deception would compensate for a worthy conscience.

Yeppers.

I went anonymous for a couple of days. I didn't want anyone to get involved and I knew I'd just start crying to people even though it's not their business.

Thank you for noticing though kiss
