And no, it's not Brian. No no, I'm talking about Damian Lewis. Ohhh, Damian Lewis. So cute. If you haven't seen Shakespeare Re-Told: Much Ado About Nothing, you should do what you can to see it. It was a great adaptation; I'd say they even improved on the resolution to the Hero/Claudio storyline. And honestly, I could watch Damian Lewis say, "There is nothing in the world I love so well as you" (or whatever the line is; I keep getting distracted) over and over and over. (Plus, he's wears a totally hot black silk shirt. His hair is bad, but I can overlook that.) Sadly, they cut the, "Against my will, I am sent to bid you come into dinner." "...There's a double meaning in that." But that's OK. Anyway, go see it. I'm totally psyched for the upcoming episodes; next week is Macbeth, and one episode has Rufus Sewell, who is fantastic.

Posted by: Carrie at August 8, 2006 03:54 PMHoly crow, Young Jolyon is in one? Rock on! I have digital cable, so I have BBC America. I've kept the Much Ado one; let me know if you want to come over and watch it sometime.
...It doesn't look like BBC America is showing that one. Dang it! They're airing Much Ado, Macbeth, Midsummer Night's Dream, and Taming of the Shrew (with Rufus Sewell!).
