To Joss; Congratulations on shooting a movie in 12 days...sometimes it takes me that long just to locate a hammer

Hey, has the thing ever ACTUALLY been released? Is it available anywhere? All I've been able to find is clips and trailers. I'm a Shakespeare guy as well as a browncoat. I'd like to see it for both reasons, and make my own judgements.

It's opening in New York and LA Friday, will roll out to other select locations soon. Other than that it has played at numerous film festivals around the world.

Hope its better than the version with Denzel Washington - he was badly miscast in my opinion.

Oh, I have to disagree. I love that whole opening-- Emma Thompson in the tree, reading poetry, the soldiers and horses, all those naked men bathing in a fountain(And what a lovely symbol that is, washing off the dirt and evil of war.), and the women in the showers, then the army stomping across the courtyard, and Denzel pops on that great big smile, and says, "Good Senior Leonato, you are come to meet your trouble." The exhilaration, the life...

That moment sets the tone for the whole movie. If Denzel didn't have another line in the entire movie, that would be enough.

But, of course, you're entitled to your opinion. That's what makes horse races.

Couple hundred thou for twelve filming days, just in 6 theaters (though I'm sure it was a great many in planning). Pretty solid.

Wishimay, wishimight- have that luck one day or one night, heh.
