   Brian Watt:I enjoyed this version quite a bit:

   

   “You’ve not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Japanese”.

   And having completed the nerd trifecta for the evening, I exit, stage right even…

   MLH: And Moonlighting‘s Taming of the Shrew was a good romp!

   No one mangles The Bard like The Flying Karamazov Brothers.

   Well, no one besides The Reduced Shakespeare Company, that is…

   James Gawron: Surely you jest.

   I’m not jesting. And don’t call me Shirley.

   Hi Claire.

   Re: “…a group watching/discussion/reading of the great Shakespeare plays for members and their kids on a semi-regular schedule.”

   What an outstanding idea!!!! After the first day I’ll always be at least one play behind, but no matter … I’m all for it!!!

   Robert Lux:Whoever the actor is at the 42:50 mark of Roger Scruton’s documentary, “Why Beauty Matters.” Without any question the best I’ve ever seen. I would love to see the rest.

   Perhaps helped by fact that it’s from the best one hour documentary I’ve ever seen. What defines our whole world today is the denial of the beautiful. Its denial in the name of justice or the equal.

   Thank you for that link to Why Beauty Matters it was very moving.

   The actor is Michael Hordern.  A greatly underrated actor.

   Great to know! Thank you!!

   Indeed, Scruton’s documentary is very moving.  I’m currently living in Montreal and planning to head to Skidmore in October to hear him give a guest lecture…fittingly enough on immigration/Europe.

   You lucky man!   That production of Lear is available on DVD in the UK, and I think even the US.  I’m glad to see you back, and I’d like to see a debate between you and Claire on the immigration issue; plus, you should write about Nietzsche.  So, get to it and fulfill the rest of my wish list.
