But Will They Get Ah-nold?

What’s worse…a Klingon rendition of Hamlet’s Soliloquy (taH pagh taHbe’)…or a performance of Terminator The Second? In Shakespearean dialog mind you!
Courtesy of the Husky Jackal Theater Company in Nashville, Tennessee:

We adhered to strict guidelines regarding the usage of Shakespeare’s works. Each line and phrase is taken directly from folios printed by or before 1685, and many extended sections of dialogue are composed of individual lines from separate works. Only proper nouns and pronouns were subject to change, as dictated by the plot. In these instances, all proper nouns are supplanted only by other proper nouns, and all pronouns by other pronouns. In some cases, corresponding verb tenses are modified. These practices enabled us to accurately retell the story of Terminator 2: Judgment Day while remaining true to the words of Shakespeare in form (if less so in intent).

The independent group has already raised enough funds to put forth the production. MASSIVE KUDOS to these folks if they can pull it off. Hopefully, they would also invite Ah-nold himself just so he can watch!
I would gladly pay the airfare and theater ticket to see this production…that is, IF I had the funds. Perhaps some of our Blogmocracy members in The Volunteer State might go and check this out…and report back to us?

They Won’t Be Back

Speaking of married couples…former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver have announced their separation after 25 years of marriage. Their statement:

“This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship.
“We are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives. We consider this a private matter and neither we nor any of our friends or family will have further comment. We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public.”

[shrugs shoulders] Oh well. Now the speculation begins….

Back on April 1, I posted about Ah-nold’s new gig as “The Governator.” Believe it or not…a trailer has actually been released:


Lord, have mercy on us….

Ah-nold Spins Up New Persona

So! Ah-nold decides to take his nickname while he was in office in Sacramento and, lo and behold, turn it into a Comic Book!

But in the end, Schwarzenegger is settling for what he hopes is an even more iconic job: cartoon superhero. The former governor tells Entertainment Weekly he’s developing an animated TV show and comic book series called “The Governator,” based on–you guessed it–an ex-governor who moonlights as a secret superhero crime fighter.
“It takes my entire career, if it’s body building, if it’s acting, if it’s the governorship and combines it into one,” Schwarzenegger tells EW in a video posted on the magazine’s site. “The Governator is designed to fight crime, to fight natural disasters … this guy will jump and solve the problems.”

I guess this comic book stuff is the speed at which today’s young adults can comprehend. That’s yet another reason why we got Президент Обама.
