HenrySwan I'd have to agree on Hamlet. I've seen it 4 times in person, and 5 different movies. I saw it once where they did it with only 7 actors (playing many different roles) and each of them got to play Hamlet for a while. It sounds difficult to follow, but not if...

HenrySwan Yes, in Northeast Ohio, it's very cold, and we have ice cream year round. There is even a place called Handel's that has no inside seating, you have to stand at the outside window and order, no matter what the weather, even in 2 feet of snow. But it's very...

Does this Swin flu epidemic Remind you of the movie The Stand?

DonnaLove1976 @DonnaLove1976 (67) • United States 29 Apr 09

HenrySwan Yes, I saw the movie and read the book, and it's very similar to what the scare over swine flu is now. It is turning out to be mostly a scare, most people who get the flu are over it with medication in a few weeks, (although I realize some people have died...

HenrySwan Yes, I've read it, most people don't believe any of the Rich Dad stories, but it's really not important. It is very simplistic, but that's not a bad thing, people need to be reminded of the basics often. The key to his theory is to own things that provide cash...

Who is your favourite Shakespearean character, and why?

SandrainSpain @Sandra1952 (6047) • Spain 26 Jul 09

I love all of Shakespeare's plays - I've seen several live performances, and I have a large collection of Shakespeare films. My favourite play is Hamlet, but my favourite character is Richard III. He's a character who revels in...

HenrySwan It would choose Henry V, (my Mylot ID) mostly because of Branagh in the movie. Second favorite would be Hotspur from Henry IV part I. He's really great, more fun thn Harry.

why

goalieboy66 @goalieboy66 (2) • Canada 7 Nov 09

why do most people in the USA do not like hockey?

HenrySwan In my opinion, it is because there are not as easily identifyable stars in hockey. They all wear the helmets, the best players on ice about a third of the time. Football is similar, but the quarterbacks, halfbacks and few receivers get all the press, so they...

HenrySwan I don't think they are much anymore, people called them that because they were always on TV, but I think the Patriots are just as big a name, and even the Giants. I don't know that there's an America's team anymore. It's not like the Yankees in baseball,...

Health Care bill

riskysim @riskysim (34) • United States 8 Nov 09

The new health care bill will be the end of the US medical profession. In allowing the US to take control of health care, it will only shorten the life span of many Americans. Why would the government pay for someone in there 60...

HenrySwan That's not really right. Healthcare is already pretty much run by Medicare. If you don't follow Medicare rules, then you risk losing all Medicare payment, which pretty much puts you out of business. Eventually, all other payers adopt Medicare rules as well....

Hi. What are some good movies like these?

incredibleDNA @incredibleDNA (1742) • Philippines 3 Nov 09

Goodfellas Casino The Departed I am looking for realistic gangster/mob movies, I am a huge fan of Martin Scorsese, so anything you recommend from him would be fantastic too. Thank you.

HenrySwan Scorsese did an earlier movie called Mean Streets, with a young Robert DeNiro, which is really great, much better than Casino. Donnie Brasco with Pacino and Depp is very underrated. Some people like Carlito's Way, but I thought it was just OK.

HenrySwan I don't really believe in curses, they've been bad because they have lousy leadership, Lerner really has no clue on what to do with the team his father left him. The coaches they've hired haven't had a plan. Now, I do believe in curses, when I am swearing...

HenrySwan There is a movie called Battle Royale, (I think it's Japanese). It was Quentin Tarantino's favorite movie of the last 15 years. It's gory and a bit sick, but well-made.
