"BUT HOW CAN FALCON IF NOT POSH?"
May. 31st, 2014 08:59 amUntil I read this Metafilter post I hadn't heard of Kyle Kallgren and his film review site Brows Held High, but on the strength of these two videos I'm going to have to keep an eye on him.
First, Kyle analyses one of my favourite Shakespeare adaptations, Richard Loncraine and Ian McKellen's Richard III. How did I miss the cinematic reference in the opening scene before?
(There are a couple of odd pauses in this and the next video, BTW. I think they must have been edited together from shorter chunks.)
And here he dissects - in the sense of 'rips into bloody giblets' - Shakespeare conspiracy theorists in general and Roland Emmerich and his film Anonymous in particular. I especially like the way he does a textual analysis of Independence Day to deduce that Emmerich must be a homophobic Jewish-American Republican, formerly in the Air Force, with a stripper wife, two children, an adorable dog and a Mac.
