True love is a wonderful, unique experience. I try myself, and try to encourage others to look at Valentines Day more as a celebration of the ability to love. To love your family, friends, a significant other (even Moxy Fruvous heehee). A day to appreciate everyone you love and everyone that loves you or gives you that 'warm fuzzy' feeling, by telling you how much they appreciate that you are in their lives. When we look at the statistics there are many more single people than partnered people (especially in my lovely home-city), I can't imagine that a day was created to make people thing "I suck cuz Im single" That in my opinion, should be the absolute last way a person chose to find value in themselves. I'm thinking I may have a date on Valentine's DAy, but I know it isn't going to be with someone I truly, fully love, but we will have fun and share each others commpany... and laugh, cuz that's what makes me happiest.

This semester promises to be filled with both fun and useful information, and I'm already feeling much more in touch with reality (not that student life is anything approaching "reality", but it's sure closer to it than I've been lately). Passing by a kiosk on campus today, I saw a flyer posted which said "SPORTS NOT DRUGS". Okay, I thought - that's a nice healthy positive statement.

That pretty much squares with my opinion. They did a very good job updating the play-- I particularly liked the Prince -> Police Chief; very clever and effective, and also the "Post-Haste" mail service "I'll send it Post-Haste!" which recast an archaic expression as a sly pun... nicely done! :) I mostly objected to the cuts they made--a lot of good (and IMHO important) stuff got lost. Also, they butchered the death scene and most of the resolution. (Again, IMHO; I am not an English major, nor do I portray one on TV.

Practically everyone I know LOVED that speech and I just about threw things at the screen. (It didn't help that I went to see it with someone who loves Leo and has NO clue about Shakespeare but I digress) Like hello ECSTACY??? wtf? In general though, I hated the portrayal. I saw R&J in Stratford (Ontario)a couple of years before the movie came out, starring Megan Follows as Juliet, Anthony Cimolino as Romeo and Colm Feore as Mercutio. Colm Feore rocks. He is an *amazing* theatrical talent. I've seen him as Hamlet, as Mercutio, as Oberon and.. I forget as what in Julius Caesar. His portrayal of Mercutio was so funny, with emphasis on all the little in-jokes that Shakespearean language is full of. In contrast, the angry, pain-filled portrayal in the recent movie seemed so pointless. They developed this whole background for the character that just didn't fit with my interpretation of the character. > for another day.

I liked the > touches with speeding up Juliet's mother, and the narrator being a TV > news reporter and stuff. Oh very true, the general conceit was great, very refreshing, and something that could only be done in a recorded medium. > One thing I must say is that the supporting cast in that movie was really > great and was over-shadowed by the foul stench of Mr. and Mrs. Teen Angst -- I'll agree with you on Friar Lawrence and Paris, but I think I was spoiled by the Stratford performance, the Nurse I saw was absolutely hysterical, and I am deeply ashamed that I forget her name because I've seen her in more than one thing as well. As for "Teen Angst" - that's what the play's about really. I had more issues and a couple more things I liked about this movie but I should probably stop here. > Shakespeare In Love is *SO* worth spending any amount of money on.

My impression is that the disease motif is more metaphorical, about a bad relationship that needs to end.
