Joe Macbeth: If I make a mistake, it hurts me. Do you understand that? I mean, actual physical pain.
Malcolm: That's very 'Gordon Ramsay'.
[stunned silence]
Roddy Maloney: We don't use that name in this kitchen. Didn't your father tell you?
Billy: It's bad luck to say it out loud. Just call him 'The Scottish Chef'.

boring

How can you make Macbeth boring, well this is how. It had good bits but overall what a snore. I cannot believe how bad this was and I don't know why it's so bad though. The other three were really good (especially the first one Much Ado About Nothing) This is probably the 5th worst drama I have ever, ever, ever seen. I must admit that it was a very good beginning but ti wen't wacky and boring. I gave up halfway through. I like the play though. Shakespeare retold had defiantly lost their minds or fell asleep doing this. If you can't get to sleep and want to, I have something for you. I'm watching it tonight because I have it on tape. I can't usually sleep sometimes when I'm excited.
