I noticed that you said you've been in and out of the hospital. Dammit Sev, take care of yourself! It is not the same around here without you. No one is trying to sneak a peek at me and make lewd comments ;)
I found Robert Shaw as Claudius to be in way over his head - may be if he had done this when he was more seasoned (see his performance in "Jaws"), then he would have been believable - more gravitas. Here, he's just like most of the cast - cardboard.
Alec Clunes (Polonius) delivers the "warning speech" to his daughter and son as perfectly as I've ever heard. It has that rushed, I love you please listen to me (although I know you're not) quality that can be heard in any airport in the world. Pitch perfect.
The rest - blah.
Except for the comic relief; both intentional - Roy Kinnear as the gravedigger; and unintentional - the intensely funny germanic Donald Sutherland as Fortinbras.
The film. Aside from it's poorly lit videotape very flat look, staging scenes outside at night just to get the partially lit up Castle in the background, etc. Shadows, sometimes multiple shadows of people and equipment flowing over the center image character. Most of the secondary cast missing their marks and hesitant with their lines. Good God, Sev - the film is a disaster. Without Plummer it should be laid to rest near some very powerful magnets.
"No the movie that just came out on Red Box isn't the True Justice TV Show..it's based on the Elijah Kane character...but it is it's own separate thing. If you like the TV show, you'll love the movie."
"And as far as David Lynch's version of Dune, I always tell everyone to read the book! The sets are exact reproductions as described in Herbert's pages. OK, so the Baron is somewhat over the top, I'll grant anyone…"
"That would be great. He's made a lot of stinkers in the las decade.
You should Link your titles so we can find them. Deadly Crossing is actually a TV show called True Justice."
"Theoretically you can create a wormhole and - may be - travel through it to somewhere else in zero time. There would be no time spent in hyperspace or cruising along like the ships in Star Trek, Star Wars and even Babylon 5 did. (Cowboy…"
"BTW, this appears to be a film about dissociative identity disorder, where the blonde and brunette are the same girl with split personalities; as a 15 year-old, the young girl was molested by her father, and was so traumatized by this event that she…"
"This seems to fit the description, but is there a scene where the boyfriend is asleep in bed and "someone cuts his arm with a knife or razor blade" ...? I didn't watch the whole thing, so I may have missed this scene."
"I watched Seagal's new movie : Deadly Crossing and I was pleasantly surprised. Took me back to when Steven Seagal was a household name and made awesome movies like Under Siege. Definitely recommend it for fans of 80's -…"
"Chances are, it was the Millicent and Therese segment of the 1975 TV movie, Trilogy of Terror. Karen Black plays both parts. One a prudish brunette, the other a fun loving blonde.
The segment is on YouTube in two parts.…"

5 Stars
Another great BBC series. Historically based drama about an 18Th Century defense attorney who changed British criminal defense.

Sev?
Happy Claude Rains BD to you!
Sevorin:
I'm glad to see you back. Hope you are feeling better. I'm having medical issues myself, so I understand.

You recommended Elsinore for Hamlet. And a fantastic performance by Plummer it was! Thank you very much.

Plummer is excellent. The film is not.
