Only one of many reasons Titus, which was radically overhyped, failed to live up to said hype.
Thing to realize is, Taymor was coming off Lion King, and, well, if you're dumb enough to like
Broadway, you're dumb enough to buy into whatever ever line a hype is lain on ya. If, on the
other hand, y'r gay enough to like Broadway, y'r gay enough to watch more or less anything,
given it's got Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in it.
I have this theory on Titus and Hannibal that I'll save for
the Scott section. And speak no more of Shakespeare.
