elaby | Misheard dialogue

caitirin said something out of the blue today, reminding me of something I misheard from the Mel Gibson Hamlet. I need to see that one again; I've only seen it once, I think, and I was probably spending the whole time paying attention to nobody but Laertes (and his fuzzy hat? Was he wearing a fuzzy hat in that movie?). At any rate, I haven't seen it since high school, most likely, and I've had approximately eight years of Hamlet-obsessing since with which to assess it.

The line was this:

Claudius (about Ophelia) - How long hath she been thus?

This is what I heard:

Claudius (about Ophelia) - How long hath she been nuts?

You can imagine my confusion. And yet, it fits.

Icon because, um, it's Shakespeare, and because the actor playing Antonio played Horatio. But not in the Mel Gibson version. You know what I need? I need the Kenneth Branagh Hamlet on DVD, so I can make screencaps... so I can make icons.

Also, just for the record, Vitaly Solomin Watson sobbing at Reichenbach + girly hormones + wife elsewhere = not so great idea. However, the reunion scene cures many ills, this one included, especially upon repeated viewings. Also, there is a yellow crescent moon tonight and it's so pale and pretty that you can see the rest of the moon too, just faintly. Also, wife is home now, which cures all ills, not just many.
