I am in a thoroughly enjoyable Shakespeare course right now, in which I have discovered that the greatest playwright of all time was secretly a feminist.
But that's a whole other story.
What I really want to say is this: I hate "Hamlet." Maybe I just hate Hamlet the character. He is whiny. He, according to my brilliant professor, Tom Amorose, is an "emo." Hamlet is so boo-hooey over the fact that his dad was secretly killed by Uncle Claudius and that his mom married Uncle Claudius promptly after dad's funeral. Hey, I'd be upset too. But instead of taking my sweet time, contemplating suicide, acting like a crazy person, and getting pissed at my girl Ophelia, I would just be like, "Yo Claudius, I'm gonna pop a cap in thou ass."
"Hamlet" is rotten, but I'm hoping it's long anticipated sequel will be better. Yes, that's right. Despite everyone dying at the end of "Hamlet," a movie is coming out this summer that will miraculously revive the characters. And Jesus is in it too! I might be sent to hell for seeing this movie, but at least I'll have a few laughs. Watch the trailor for HAMLET 2.
