Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice;Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
-- Shakespeare, Hamlet --
Have a great Thursday!

So while you're on your vacation, think about your homie missing you and maybe this will convince you to get the hell out here for a visit.
Yes, the apparel, the apparel. Branagh's apparel...that's what is (rather loudly) proclaiming the man to me in this photo.
Isn't that a brilliant scene...that "To be or not to be" in the two-way Hall of Mirrors...with old Polonius and Claudius standing right behind him? Minimalist. Every move an art form. . . "rich, not gaudy."
Why don't you do a Branagh Photo Du Jour week, cipriano?
You know you want to.
Thank you for the well-wishes. The weather could not be more resplendently beautiful, here on Vancouver Island.
I just love the Hamlet movie, the one with Branagh, as shown here. First of all, honestly, his acting levels me. Secondly, the movie follows the text WORD-FOR-WORD! It is just such an unbelievably well-done version. I really must get the thing, on DVD.
Yes, maybe I will do a Ken Branagh montage week or something, sometime. He's been in a lot of great movies, and I think he was nothing less than a brilliant Iago in the most recent [late 90's] version of Othello.
The best to you all!
