Apr. 6th, 2008 02:15 amI think this might be one of the worst things I've ever seen. The bastardization! The assumptions about its audience's intelligence! (If they're right, please don't tell me.) The sentence "Text is greatly abridged, so reading these isn't tedious torture"! However, the sample texts make it all better.
Romeo and Juliette: First, if I were abridging Romeo and Juliette, I wouldn't necessarily leave "I will push Montague's men from the wall and thrust his women to the wall" in. Secondly, ROMEO IS SO GODDAMN GIRLY. Not that this is inappropriate. And whoever talks first (forgive me, I haven't read Romeo in ages) looks like the boy on the cover of Magic's Promise.
Hamlet: Speaking of girly... and with GLASSES. I repeat, Horatio has glasses. At least Gertrude is hot? (is that a bonus? well I think it is.)
For some reason the Julius Caesar is less ridiculous, although the artist has a tendency to draw people with huge foreheads.
And the Macbeth is actually kind of cool, even if some parts are... slightly disturbing, like the man reporting on the battle with his eye out of his head. Apart from that, the look is nice, darker and more angular. You just have to ignore the project. Because it's ridiculous.
