Holy shit. I've heard this piece at least a hundred times in movies and on television and in nice restaurants, but - wow. Totally different.

Who isn't?

https://www.youtube.com/wat… Here you go! There are a bunch of related videos as well.

That's so cool! Thank you! It's always fascinating to see media performed as it was originally conceived, if only for further context. (I've got one video bookmarked of a linguistics professor speaking in the same accent Shakespeare would have used and it's rad.)

I played piano for several years as a kid but never really got into classical music. Thanks for such a well written and informative article, Ignatiy! I learned quite a bit. It never occurred to me that this would have sounded different when it was first written due to the changes/innovations made to musical…

I grilled some fresh sardines once using a grill basket and oh my god they were so good. I wanna go get more from the Greek supermarket right this second.

This is the dumbest thing ever and I still laughed like hell.

Ha! Was it James Joyce?

Yessssssss. I'm really enjoying the Batwoman book, and I didn't know Stephanie Hans was working on this issue, so I'm doubly excited for Wednesday.

I have a few commissions by Stephanie Hans - I try to get one from her when I attend conventions - and they're just as beautiful hand-painted as in digital.

At this point I'd empty my savings account if it got those two off the planet.

Can we just put him and Chris Brown on a rocket ship to the sun already? Christ.

Fuck yeah, herring! I'm not Scandinavian at all, but I grew up eating pickled herring out of Vita jars. I don't like the kind that comes in a cream sauce, though. I much prefer to take the pickled kind and mix it with a little regular sour cream and eat it with lots of onion and dark rye bread. Yum. Now I want some…

Oh, now that would be fucking hilarious.

I knew about his propensity toward raping young girls - and have always stayed as far away from him and his music as humanly possible - but this cult shit is genuinely upsetting as well. He's beyond a piece of shit and I can't understand how people could defend any of this. How could parents allow their daughters…

Jesus, that's horrifying.

Well, I didn't think of the origin itself as being super drawn-out in this scenario. 15 minutes to establish, tops, and then we get to see lots of Jen delighting in her new stature and strength.

To provide an actual comment, instead of just another joke, I think you could make it work by using a lot of Jen Walters's original story. In this, Jen is working on a big case - the mob has gotten its hands on a version of the Super Soldier Serum, which of course isn't meant to be synthesized at all since Bruce's…
