Watched #Dune today and was pretty impressed. I never read the book, so I don’t know how faithful the adaptation is. It feels almost like watching a #Shakespearean play set in #Sci-fi genre.

Despite its richness, one thing it suffers from as do many sci-fi movies: the uneven distribution of technologies depicted in the story. I mean, if you can have tiny drone “Hunter-seeker” flying around to kill people, why are they still having melee fights in battles?

Pete Beard has been making videos about #artists and #illustrators for years. Each one fantastically made.

Oh sweet Media, thy power doth command,
But without literacy, thy message is bland.
Learn to discern fact from fiction, right from wrong,
With media literacy, ye shall not belong.
Be not fooled by false reports, nor swayed by deceit,
For a mind that's media-literate, is one that can't be beat. #medialiteracy #Shakespearean #chatgpt

It feels a bit like what's going on over there on the #birdsite is some old, old story - like a #Shakespearean or ancient #Greek #tragedy.

"What is this I see before me?"

“I am at the end. I exist no more.”

Etc.

Read a love poem to a black woman titled One Enamour'd On A Black-Moor (link below). By Eldred Revett. Circa 1657. "What a strange love doth me invade..."

Side Note: There are about 72 masques and plays with black characters written between the 16th and 17th century. But this doesn't include poems like the ones below.

@hez loved it too! Watched it a few times now. A #gritty, #epic, #uncompromising #revenge #tragedy. Yes it's the precursor to the story of #Hamlet but without the #Shakespearean flourish. 😉 #thenorthman

@adam ours is generally all over the place!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I absolutely love it. Though, perhaps I shall make a #Shakespearean character and see what happens.

@adam #dnd with a #Shakespearean twist definitely sounds interesting 👀👀👀

So. #Redactle is fun. Got it today in 103, but it could be so much better. I really wish I knew how to #code because I would love to do two things. A redactle type #puzzle for #poetry and another for #Shakespearean soliloquy's and sonnets. #Versle & #Shakespeardle if you will.

Hi Everybody. I'm a 75 years young #StageDirector, #Dramaturg, #ActingCoach, #Shakespearean, and occasional #Actor. I studied at the #ShakespeareInstitute and I love #Theatre in every way. I'm a Democrat, an LGBTQ+ Ally, and a Cancer Survivor (so far). Come say hello and follow me. I follow back. 👋🎭

@Pocketm0use I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s very #Shakespearean like #RomeoAndJuliet kinda stuff.

#orsonwelles was a great artist. My take on one of his #sketch_drawing of a #Shakespearean character.
