Get thee a wife, get thee a wife

So since [livejournal.com profile] isabel79 mentioned the original "Much Ado About Nothing" in response to my post about the Whedon version, I was looking it up. I figured it was a bunch of English actors, what with Beatrice and Benedick being played by Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh, respectively, and a young Kate Beckinsale as Hero. But Claudio was played by Wilson from House, Don Pedro was played by Denzel Washington and Don John by Keanu Reeves. Oh and Michael Keaton was Dogberry?

I've gotten a bunch of music lately. I mentioned Haim last week, I had actually gotten Icona Pop the week before that. But I also picked up the latest The Naked and Famous album, the deluxe version of Florence + The Machine's "Lungs" (I had the original, but the deluxe version has like 10 extra songs), and did the "complete my album" for Bruno Mars' Unorthodox Jukebox. I had Bruno Mars' previous singles off that album, but then I heard Gorilla on the radio (which, how dirty is that song? But its got a cool sound), and decided to finally preview the rest of the album, and I liked what I heard, so why not finish up the album?

Whoa... I forgot Keanu Reeves was in that movie! And it is true... No matter the movie he still sounds like Bill or Ted or who ever he was in that movie!

Its amusing since Don John is supposed to be this manipulative bad guy, and I can't imagine him trying to trick Claudio without sounding totally ridiculous.
