WRATH

OK guys, I am SEETHING WITH FURY so I will vent it on you (because you are the ones who will sympathize with my rage). Then remind you again of how much I love you. But first:

THE RANT
Once upon a time (just now) I logged on to Netflix. "Hum dee dum," I said to myself, "what movies might I want to add to the queue? Hmmm, perhaps I will look up Shakespeare films. Aha, here is Much Ado About Nothing. Aha, here is A Midsummer Night's Dream. I have seen both of these movies. Hmm, perhaps I shall read the user comments for A Midsummer Night's Dream."
So, never dreaming what lay ahead, I scrolled down....
And read the following comment, from AL of Hershey, PA!!!!!!!!!!!
They speak Olde English in this movie and it is impossible to understand. I hope you like subtitles.
Then about an Othello film, the same AL of Hershey, PA wrote:
The actors are speaking old English in this movie and it is impossible to understand, in particular the manipulations of Iago. The only good thing is Lawrence Fishburne.

I am not even going to comment on the many reasons that this is stupid, because you already know.
Also on the Midsummer page someone referred to "Tuck" (hmmm, perhaps they mean Puck????)).
GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is if us YCTC people ever met AL of Hershey, PA....we would BEAT HIM UP!!!!

OK, rant over. As always, I love you all to death. And reading all your emails and posts.
