Magic Shake-Ball


Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

If I write a screenplay called Gloucester Tale about a crook-back king with a withered arm and a can-do spirit, do you think I can get Disney to buy it? Also, will Michelle cry when she reads it?

Answer:

"Fie, thou'rt a churl. You've got a humour there
Does not become a man; 'tis much to blame."

(Timon of Athens 1.2.25-26)

Interpretation:

Okay, okay. Point taken. Don't make fun of inspirational kids' movies. And don't laugh at crying Shakespeare professors. But, come on, you know you kind of want to see Gloucester Tale.
