Disclaimer

So I title my last post "Shakespeare as Everyman's Bard," but want to note really quickly that not everyone knows it.  I watched Gnomeo & Juliet over the weekend and thought it was funny and kind of interesting how our modern culture likes to make fun of Shakespeare and yet harbors a notion that his works are just too intellectually advanced for normal people to understand.

Enjoy these clips!

Well, sorry, I'll try to figure out how to upload the clips, but until then, here are the links to them.

Gnomeo & Juliet Intro:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXZXSjDzpBE&feature=relmfu
Gnomeo Chats Up Shakespeare:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXZXSjDzpBE&feature=relmfu
Balcony Clip:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6HpUndEtP8&feature=relmfu
Doomed Love:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp-JeYRgvGg&feature=relmfu

*And for the record, I think Gnomeo (see the second clip) has a great point!  Stupid suicidal tendencies... ;)

  1. For posting actual videos, you can use the icons at the very top of the text area you type your post in. There are three very helpful ones in the middle: "Link," "Insert Image," and "Insert Video." The one to insert videos has you link it to a url from Youtube or has you upload one from your computer. Hope that helps!

    1. Thanks. I did see that, but for some reason, when I put in the URL (just copied & pasted)it pulled up completely different videos. Maybe it's just my laptop that's making it do that; I'll have to try it again on a BYU computer.
