HAMLET MASH-UP

by Geoff Klock

Published on May 7, 2013

198 movies and TV shows quoting Hamlet in less than 15 minutes, because I thought that was funny. 

These clips are extremely short (1-10 seconds are clipped out of each movie), and built into a new whole, so this falls legally under fair use. 

Average clip length: 4.5 seconds. 

Seventeen cartoons

Cute Girl commentary from Alicia Silverstone, Julia Styles, Megan Fox, Lindsey Lohan, Blair Waldorf, Busy Philips, Blake Lively. 

Eight women as Hamlet including Katherine Hepburn, Maggie Smith, Eliza Coupe, Jennifer Saunders. 

Kevin Klein twice

Vincent Price twice

Shelley Long twice

Eric Idle twice

Christopher Plummer, twice, once as a Klingon

Danny DeVito twice, in non-speaking roles

Robert Downey Jr twice (once more he is being spoken to, but you can’t see him)

Two incarnations with vampires

Two incarnations with strippers (one male)

Two incarnations of X-Men

Three incarnations of Star Trek

Three incarnations of The Addams Family (who knew there were three incarnations of Addams Family)

Three incarnations in which audience members leave during To Be or Not To Be. 

Three speeches end with a Hamlet saying he is tired of doing this.

A quick editorial cartoon about the intersection of self-pity, entitlement, rape, territoriality, misogyny and fear of women. You see it all over the place online in the form of Men’s Rights Activists (of whom there are a few reasonable non-misogynists), Men Going Their Own Way, Pick Up Artists, and dudes touting the “Red Pill”, because The Matrix is a good movie. Look any of these up if you have the stomach for it. These are extreme examples, but watered-down forms of these ideas are everywhere.

In lurking their blogs and youtube channels for a while, I’ve noticed that beyond the standard patriarchal chauvinism there is this deep fear of women - what they will do to me, how they will reject me, how they will use me, how they are changing society in a way that does not favor me, how they are making men into something I don’t like, how they are making themselves into something I don’t like, that they won’t give me what I want, and that they won’t give me what I think is rightfully mine. This goes beyond fear of feminism- this is fear of women at its purest. And that, to quote a puppet, leads to anger and hate. It’s sad.

I am a feminist. I think there’s enough ice cream to go around, but it does mean those of us with 3 scoops might have to give one or two up. Also, The Matrix is a fun movie but probably not anything you should be basing a philosophy on.

EDIT: I WROTE A LENGTHY POST ABOUT THIS HERE.
