Being Hal's dancing monkey makes Falstaff a big man in the pub. A huge man. For a guy like that to have an in with the future king is major.

Lena Dunham gives it a thumbs up

Naw, that was the Red Wedding scene

And then Agent Cooper can free him from the Black Lodge.

Um, Hal is gonna be king?  It's just like Entourage.

RIchard II is a difficult play though. The king is so weak, that with anything less than a stellar performance you do not sympathize with him at all, and cannot figure out his decisions. I agree with Kevin - Whishaw's Richard II was best I've ever seen.

The difference is that when Hal become Henry V, Shakespeare is definitely saying that he quickly matures into the role he was born into, and finally becomes the dignified and appropriate king he was meant to be.

Why don't you go out and play Harrison. Go play. In Argentina.

The biggest problem with anybody whatsoever playing Henry V is that wonky Heart She Holler haircut they've got to wear

That is why Whishaw is so darn amazing - as you've probs seen from the AV club review. If he wasn't your boyfriend before, he will be now.

Ed McMahon says "Ha ha ha ho ho ho"

So Cumbersome is Sherlock Holmes, is in Star Trek, The Hobbit, and now Star Wars, but I wanna know why isn't he Batman? And Superman too, in the same movie, and also maybe he could be Cinderella or Alice in Wonderland?

Good news everyone! Mad Men split into two seasons, so we'll be sure to stay with them until they get to advertising all the good breakfast cereals, like Count Chokula and Freakies.

At this point, every review of this show could be titled "The Newroom: explaining why we hate-watch."

Love Tom Hiddleston?  Love Ben Whishaw? Well your boyfriends are here and they are killin' it with the Shakespeare. Richard II, very difficult to do, weak central character weasling and second-guessing himself the whole play - Whishaw makes us feel every second of the tragedy. King Henry, having his larks with…

Should I be ashamed to say that I've learned most of the history I remember these days from Drunk History?
