Homebaked Shakespeare


Inspired by Gnomeo and Juliet, our brilliant and adorable reader Adam B. has homebaked some more winners:

Julius Caesar's Palace: the story of one man's struggle to maintain hold on his Vegas casino-hotel while others around him vie for leadership.

Two Guys of Verona, A Gal, and a Pizza Place: the long-awaited film version of the hit tv series.

The Taming of the Shoe: Sex and the City III

Needless to say, Adam really inspired me to come up with some of my own:

The Merchant of Tennis: Young Rebecca, a star tennis player, is not allowed to join the local WASP tennis club. What should she do?

The Comedy of Care Bears: A set of twins, Care Bears, find happiness and hugs despite some mistaken identities.

The Hemp-fest: An exiled King, stoned out of his mind, settles on a remote island and believes he can control everything. His slave (actually a figment of his imagination) does his bidding and everything becomes chaotic and strange.

All of this is in 3D, by the way.

  1. And don't forget Ham/Omlet -- the pomo story of a pig trying desperately to retain enough authority to run a diner, but surrounded by people who all just want to eat ham with their eggs.

  3. Okay. Thank you, Desdemona, for breaking the ice, because:
    Love's Labours Lust
    A Midsummer Night's Wet Dream
    Marc Antony & J. Lopatra
    Winter's Tail (starring Jezebel Winter)
    The Taming of the Shrew
    And a slight, obvious, gratuitous re-write: The Merchant of Penis.

    Shakespeare is fun!
