The dogs of war, at it again

Courtesy of [profile] angevin2, the (awesome) trailer for the latest filmed Shakespearean histories of which I had posted a clip earlier this week. It's easier to list the few awesome actors who aren't in it than the many who are!




Of course, the ultimate filmed version of the histories has already been done, by my man Orson Welles, as Chimes at Midnight, but he'd be the last to object to new attempts. Have a clip from Chimes at Midnight anyway, Falstaff's acerbic speech about honour:




And also, here's [personal profile] likeadeuce with some terrific headcanon about Falstaff, as the result of a meme, which now I must reciprocate:

1. Pick a pairing or a character
2. Ask me my particular head!canon regarding something about them
3. Post to your journal to share your own head!canon!

That trailer looks amazing. What a cast!

In unrelated news, I just reported and deleted a spam comment from Trio: The Musical at AO3. I imagine you got the e-mail as well, but I happened to be online when it arrived so it is now gone from the page. (What is it about that story, anyway? First it gets me my first ever flame, then my first bit of AO3 spam.)
