A Sea of Troubles
A lot of great and delicious things have come out of Canada. Here’s another one:
Slings and Arrows is a Canadian hour long comedy/drama about a fictional Shakespeare festival theater near Toronto. The show features Rachel McAdams and Mark McKinney (from Kids in the Hall) and is excellent if you like Shakespeare or theater — both are integrated brilliantly into the show.
The first season deals with Hamlet and the second season with Macbeth; the loving way Hamlet is treated by this show actually made me read it again. I also like how they deal with Mac: “It’s an evil play! Evil! Full of blood blood blood and more blood!” Go rent it.
My new favorite Social Commentary Machine! It takes photos of The Veep, The Pope, Paris Hilton, and others and turns them into social commentary. I love!
Also, Kim showed me the way to this Bruce Lee screen test for the G. Hornet; man the guy had charisma. And even back then he was jocular about stereotypes, which is the right way to treat them.
