Upvoted because so often I see stuff on TIL that I either already know or don't care about. That is fucking amazing. The Last Crusade is my favourite Indi film and I've loved Stopped since I read Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead in high school, and this just makes me respect him that much more.
A penitent man kneels before God!
Last night I saw "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead," if that helps.
Tom Stoppard is mentioned by name.
But it isn't anything like Hamlet or Stoppard's play.
Tom Stoppard works as a script doctor on a lot of Hollywood films and has done so for years, but frequently does it for no credit. They do, however, pay him a metric assload of money to do it.
He also did punch-up work on Revenge of the Sith. So.
Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade is the best of the bad three of the Indy films.
Shakespeare In Love, however, is great fun.
Interesting. I didn't know this and Jeffrey Boam is my dad...
One of cinema's most overrated movies.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is where I first saw Tim Roth who is superb and now stars in the TV drama Lie To Me.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is very hard to find as a torrent.
It's even funnier as a play; read it.
