Supergun Cinema ?

I don’t know what Supergun Cinema is, exactly, but I’m fascinated by these posts that keep popping up in my regular reading.  It appears to be the blog of somebody who is writing a screenplay about people writing a screenplay based on Shakespeare’s works, which is in turn modelled after Shakespeare’s works.  Got that?    Apparently his previous movie was called “Macbeth 3000” so Shakespeare figures prominently in his work.   The image caption in one of the related blog posts says “Macbeth + light sabers + Batman + snow + car chases + Super Dave + an Iraqi chemical weapons plant + a pedophile + Star Trek = comedy gold…”   I’m intrigued.

Shakespeare Classes at University of Washington

This looks interesting.  University of Washington’s “Educational Outreach” program is offering free courses over the net.  Interesting to us, that is, because they have two Shakespeare offerings:  Hamlet and Shakespeare’s Comedies. Haven’t had time to read them in depth yet, but I’ve got them bookmarked.   Something like this I wish came in a PDF, I find that I’m more likely to read things like this if I can print them out all nicely formatted.  I don’t like reading web pages for too long.
