I don't think I've ever seen Macbeth live before, it might be better performed than read. Liev Schreiber is great too. He was in a little movie called A Walk on the Moon, which I really recommend. It had Diane Lane as a frustrated housewife married to Liev. She ends up having an affair with Viggo Mortensen's character. I really like it.

sweetestsiren, have you seen Macbeth on stage ever? I hated it when I read it, but once I'd seen it performed it took on a whole new life for me.
Also, Lady Macbeth is SUCH a fantastic part and I think Jennifer Ehle is a terrific choice. I also love Liev Schrieber. This should be a very exciting production!
No, I haven't ever seen a full version of Macbeth (shameful, since we have a reasonably well-known Shakespeare theatre in my town). I've seen/enjoyed a fair amount of his other plays and I usually enjoy reading them, but you're probably right that I'd like Macbeth better after seeing it performed. Lady Macbeth is a great character, though.
Sounds like an interesting movie, Chloe.... I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

Chloe, I LOVE "A Walk On The Moon". That's the movie that made me a Liev Schrieber fan.
Oh good, someone else who's seen it! Unfortunately it didn't get a lot of publicity. I think it's very sexy and also more reality-based than a lot of movies.

I'm always so sad that more people haven't seen it. Everytime I show it to someone they end up LOVING it.
And yes, it's an extremely sexy movie. I don't normally find Viggo Mortenson attractive but in this movie..yum. And the soundtrack can't be beat.
Yeah, I love all those 60's songs on the soundtrack. (It's a period piece set at the time of Woodstock and the first man on the moon.) I think my favorite is the Joni Mitchell song.
Now I'm really going to have to see this! And I do kind of find Viggo Mortensen attractive, so that's a bonus.
Someone just posted about the Case show on Adam's myspace. I forgot it was tonight, I was thinking tomorrow night. I think I have to go to bed now - I've got to get on a better schedule. Good night!
Goodnight, Chloe!

G'nite Chloe.
I should go to sleep now too. But I know I won't. My sleep cycle is SO off.

Alright, Everyone is probably in bed by now, but I just got back fromt the Adam concert and I thought you'd like to hear about it-
7:00 PM was when the Rent movie started, we watched that, and then at 9:30ish Adam came out and sang songs from his album/cover songs/Broadway cover songs. At one point he forgot the lyrics to Model Prisoner and sang in perfect beat: "I've forgotten the words to my own song", which was just so typical Adam, lol . He then said that he was leaving, and then came back out and sang One Song Glory and What I Did For Love (which was beautiful sung by him, btw). Anyway, if anyone is interested in *cough*hearing*cough* any of this then PM me
.
Anyway, Adam seemed like he was in a very good mood- joking around with the audience and such. He didn't sign any autographs but hearing him live was totally enough for me . It was so great!

Glad you had a good time!
Ooh, now it's my turn! In roughly 17.5 hours I'll be seeing Adam perform. I can't wait.
Oh wow, I better get some sleep.
Glad you had a good time, SG. I'm cracking up at the forgot-the-words ad-lib

Awesome, thanks for filling us in...glad you had a good time!
I've certainly got a case of the Mondays...
Me too. I was definitely not ready to get up so early this morning. But I guess it's better than my roommate's sleep schedule; she came to bed at 8 am!
I technically only have 13 more days of getting up early. Hooray!
I was there last night too...and it was amazing.
SG covered it pretty well. I took way to many pictures, if you want to see them, PM me sometime today.
I only have one thing to add. He never sang with his hand between his legs at all.

Did he sing Easy as Life? I'm assuming no, but he mentioned months ago that he was going to play it and, to my knowledge, hasn't.
Mondays, bleh. At least I only have 6 more of those dreaded 8 AM classes to deal with.
No, I think he is just playing the same stuff everywhere and didn't play that.
Chloe, this is a pretty clear shot of the necklace.

That being said, I still have no clue what it is.

Morning! I hate mondays. I have off from school this week and forgot to turn my alarm off. So I woke up at 6:00 and tried to go back to sleep..bleh.
Sounds like you had an awesome time Shiksa! haha..at the "forgot his own words.." line.
ETA: nevermind, Fantab got it
I just linked to it above your post.
The people on Adam's MySpace who are begging him to come to the NY/NJ area confuse me. He was just here. Not to mention the fact that this is where he *usually* is, you know, since he does Broadway. Did they miss that part?
I'm betting that they don't realize that he was just here.
