#i got to the bit about gnomeo and juliet and almost went on a tangent about sherlock holmes again

omg how was rhe movie !!! as a shakespeare nerd its pretty much the only movie adaptation i really love :) i tend to prefer staged stuff, but something about that movie made me like shakespeare in film

i genuinely have no idea how good it is, like, objectively. i have never seen another romeo and juliet adaptation other than the gnome one. however i absolutely ADORED it. the more modern setting with the words unchanged? literally one of the best things i have seen ever i need one morbillion more of these bitches. now i didn't actually care all that much about r&j themselves until after Mercutio died (i'm a side character fan for life) but MAN the last part with those two. oh my god. my brain chemistry. i can feel it changing. it was very fun because Caroline (i think?) was like "where is the justice for Tybalt!" and it took all of me to not start going off at my laptop screen. like what the fuck dude ur boy killed a man first. justice my ass he had it coming (<- is aware of the irony of this situation however is choosing to ignore it in this moment in favour of being a vengeful bitch about it). the beginning at the gas station was SO fun though i want it tattooed directly on my brain. it scratched a similar itch that p&p&z did however i do not know what the itch is. maybe i should check out more Shakespeare.
