So that's what Lt. Lothar Zogg did next!

it's no Vader Sessions

He's got one hell of a voice, it's true.

Okay, I wasn't expecting what he did after ten.

Of course, I was trying not to stare into his eyes, knowing that he'd chop my head off with my own sword.

Oh hey, I used to go to dump.com all the time.
It's a video site now?

Your mama's going on a date. Ya dig that? She's going on a date with me. She's going to have a real good time too.

It's like the black god of the universe if giving me the most important instructions ever.

That takes me back...
\my lawn, get off it now!

baggins2000: Probably one of the greatest soliloquy's in movie history

Technically that's a monologue as JEJ is addressing another character. A soliloquy is usually when a character talks aloud to himself (thereby informing the audience of his inner thoughts and motivations (see Hamlet's "To be or not to be"soliloquy). Sorry for being pedantic but this is Fark after all.

you are correct. No problem, brain just went to that region and picked the wrong one.

but JEJ is just a figment of his imagination, so he's speaking out of his mind? or something.

Snapper Carr: (see Hamlet's "To be or not to be"soliloquy).

Nope, sorry, not a soliliquy. It's a monologue that SEEMS like a soliliquy. He's fully aware that Polonius is there, listening in. Some of the thoughts may BE his own, but it's highly doubtful, at that point, that he wants to kill himself. Maybe when his father first died, I can see it, but since he's seen the ghost of King Hamlet, he's knows that the undiscovered country has actually had people return from its bourn. He wants the king and Polonius to think he's crazy so that they won't suspect him of plotting Claudius' death.

How I typo'd that twice, though, will never be known.

Stage directions and dialogue state otherwise - though some productions do have Gertrude, Claudius and Ophelia spying on him from the wings. When performed according to the usual script, he is alone as Claudius and Polonius leave when they hear him approaching.

I hear him coming: let's withdraw, my lord.

Exeunt KING CLAUDIUS and POLONIUS

Enter HAMLET

HAMLET

To be, or not to be: that is the question:

etc....

Snapper Carr: Exeunt KING CLAUDIUS and POLONIUS

Except that Ophelia's still on stage with him, being used BY Polonius and Claudius. Sorry, my Hamlet's a little rusty...been ages since I read it, had to look it up, but I KNEW there was someone else on stage.

That whole scene is about them suspecting that Hamlet is putting on his cuckoo for cocoa puffs act, and trying to prove it, so they use Ophelia as bait, since they know that he loves her, and would reveal most anything to her. He enters, knowing this, and puts on his act. Remember that immediately following this speech is "Get thee to a nunnery." The scene where he's trying his damnedest to get her out of Dodge, so that she'll be safe from P's and C's machinations.

Snapper Carr: etc....

Oh, and here.^ Keep track of who leaves before H comes on.

Snapper Carr: etc....

Sorry to keep hammering this, but it's an issue I have with most interpretations of the play, but there IS proof that C and P are spying on him. After the nunnery sequence, they ruminate on what he's said and realize that it was staged for their benefit:

Love! his affections do not that way tend;
Nor what he spake, though it lack'd form a little,
Was not like madness. There's something in his soul,
O'er which his melancholy sits on brood...

PizzaJedi81: Snapper Carr: etc....

Oh, and here.^ Keep track of who leaves before H comes on.

You're right. My (and most of the English speaking world's) mistake.

No big. It's just a problem I have with most post-Fruedian interpretations.

An even bigger problem for me is the "Embrace" between Hamlet and Gertrude. Anymore, it's portrayed as Hamlet wanting to jump his mother's bones, which, while fitting with his portrayal of madness, is not even close to what is supposed to be happening.

He moves away from the mic in order to breathe

Has Samuel L done the alphabet yet on Sesame Street? Not that that would top his audio reading of Go The fark To Sleep, but it would still be pretty damn cool...

Still my fav Link (new window)

That's amazing, I have the same combination on my luggage!

He seems to really like seven.
