In Remembrance of Heath Ledger
- 3 lbs. The Taming of the Shrew
- 1 pkg The Virgin Suicides
- 5 oz The Waterboy
- 1/4 cup The Wedding Singer
- a splash of Saving Silverman
We were planning on posting Sweeny Todd today, but we decided to pull it and do 10 Things I Hate About You in memoriam of Heath Ledger who died yesterday.
Shakespeare is like the meat part of a meatloaf – it’s always going to taste like meat, but the real flavor comes from all the spices. This is a classic retelling of a girl doesn’t like boy but gets girl in the end and everyone’s happy story. Heath showed his versatility in 10 Things by showing everyone that he could play a seemingly insane high school student who may or may not have had his liver removed while still being a singing and dancing show-boater. Larry Miller’s over-protective parenting is only rivaled by Kathy Bates and Kathleen Turner.
