If you’re interested in Shakespeare adaptations on film, I have for you Duncan’s Shakespeare, a blog which focuses on exactly that.  He (they?) seem to be doing mostly modern adaptations, but maybe they’ll work backwards.  The blog was last updated in late October, so I’m hoping they keep it active.  

Maybe it’s just the geek in me, but I thought “If Shakespeare Wrote Error Messages” worth a link:   Brevity is the soul of wit; too many arguments. ‘Tis nothing to you, for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so, except for that bad command or file name. Fie, thy grief is a fault to heaven, a fault against the dead, a fault to nature, and a fault of segmentation. Something wicked this way comes — oh good, permission denied.    

I hadn’t actually seen this one yet — maybe I’d just passed over it because I don’t usually go for the Rowan Atkinson stuff.  But I’ve just given it a listen, and it’s quite funny. “Ok, take out victim and coward.  How about just…to be, or not to be?”

“You can’t say that, it’s gibberish!”

HAMLET
By William Shakespeare
GUARD. Do you hear something?
GUARD. No.
GUARD. Oh, never mind then. I like it.

Found this quick  link to a blog where they’re having a fairly lengthy discussion about Troilus and Cressida.  Not one of the plays you hear much about, so I thought I’d share the link love.
