You watched Hamlet instead of I-know-what?! I am surprised and
gratified since I don't watch I-know-what either.

Interesting that you mention high school and Hamlet. You see,
it was a highschool event that introduced me to Shakespeare. At the
time a well-known tv personality named Clifton Fadiman made a film
for teachers on Hamlet. My Hs friend's mother was the teacher who
had this show. What it did was have Fadiman take the viewer through
Hamlet as a detective story-- something a kid could understand. I pretty much got hooked on it from then on and even pursued theatre studies for a time.

I have seen pretty much all the Hamlets. That, as Walter
Brennan used to say is, "No brag, just fact." (cf "The Guns of
Will Sonnet").

I'd have to go back to the Lethal Weapon one but I recall that
it was a pretty weak Hamlet compared to the Kenneth Brannaugh one.

Perhaps you will see another Hamlet to compare and contrast (?)

Right now there is a "Merchant of Venice" in the theatres with
one of the Corleone clan playing Shylock. Thankfully, it isn't
James Caan.
