A semiotician/culture-theorist. For the foreseeable future my personal feed is all about Hamlet. Use it as a resource if you're into Shakespeare. I'm going to un-pin items after I've written about them in my personal Hamlet-diary in my native Estonian...

Here are all the Hamlet-related movies, plays, etc. that I've managed to fish out of the open sea of tor... troubles.
What's missing? Especially non-English ones... If you know of any, please leave a comment. I want to catch them all.

Shakespeare for the 21st century...

6. “All that glisters is not goals”
5. “Out, dammed Spotify!”
4. “As You, like, Like It”
3. “Romeo, Romeo, WTF Romeo?!”
2. “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your earbuds”
1. “Alas, poor Yorick. He got ratio'd”

Also a chilly walk through Stratford-Upon-Avon. The Child, upon seeing the Hamlet statue, remarked that "He seems very emo to me."

David Tennant's filmed Hamlet (directed by Greg Doran) is also a pretty good entry-level production. Modern-dress, which emphasizes the emo. 😉

Look at this absolute beauty. It's got a gold sheen on the edges of its pages, looks so good.
Midway through Hamlet atm, the boy poked Polonius real hard and is now being escorted out of the country with two of his bestest pals.

Tom Stoppard wrote and directed this 1990 comedy based on his own play. Tim Roth and Gary Oldman play the two most minor characters in Hamlet, dealing with their existential crises with wit and wordplay as Shakespeare's story unfolds around them and they try to figure out what the hell is going on.

The next James Bond movie should actually be about Q, and we only see James Bond for those few minutes we'd see Q in a Bond movie. And the rest is a day in Q's overworked life. "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead," and Hamlet is Bond.

Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead feels a bit like a pop quiz I didn't know to study for. Oldman and Roth are delightful, as are Dreyfuss and Glen. However, it's been 3 decades since I saw Hamlet in any form, so tracking the overall plot was an uphill climb. Pirate finale makes everything better.

While fandom is normally perceived as a recent phenomenon focused primarily on science fiction and fantasy, this book traces fans’ practices back to the eighteenth century, particularly David Garrick’s #Shakespeare Jubilee in 1769. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

One of my best Hamlets: fabulous Sam West RSC 2001, dir. Steven Pimlott. Sparse, fiercely political, Bush-alike Claudius. A Hamlet on the edge, who, when he took out a gun in 1.2, for a split second, I thought, he's really going to do it.

Getting back to the Judi Dench.
There's an old story about someone at a dinner party trying to talk about themes with a guy who was playing Hamlet and he responded, "Themes? Madam, I know not themes. Nay, it IS."

I suppose it's a measure of genius that Hamlet can be repurposed for such different ends, or at least a measure of an author knowing when to get out of the goddamn way and let the audience think and reason for themselves. Which might amount to the same thing, in the end.

If “Hamlet” can be interpreted in a nonfinite number of ways, then any constraint on the interpretation still leaves a nonfinite number of interpretations!

Some people would consent to being turned into AI versions of themselves after they're dead, just like some people consent to be turned into the skulls used during performances of HAMLET. But it has to be their choice.

Actors are weird. I saw one on stage the other day and he was all, “I’m Hamlet” or something. But he wasn’t Hamlet. According the program he was called Jake or something. And yet, when I loudly drew the audience’s attention to this, I was the one that was asked to leave. Crazy.

The English teacher on vacation is saddened to report that Hamlet and Horatio are nowhere to be found. Off on summer break? Perhaps at a funeral, or wedding, or both?
