"Beware the Ides of March"

[Jack Flash]

J. Caesar should have... Just sayin'.

As Brother Dave once said, "Here Julius, hold this!"

Ain't I lucky my name's not Julius Caesar?

Et tu, Brute?

Yeah, that's my 75th birthday coming up tomorrow.

I was mindful of this, as ever on Mar. 15.

My favorite Shakespearean play is either, "Julius Caesar" or, "MacBeth." I can never decide which I like better.

I have a fine performance of the latter on DVD, the 1971 Polanski film, financed by Hefner. Superb actors. Good sword work...

It's hard to find a good movie of the Caesar one. But the suitable scenes in the Cleopatra movies portray the event pretty well.

I've read that only one of the dagger wounds was actually lethal, given good medical care. The assassins were clumsy and evidently out of practice with daggers or too nervous to aim well.

My favorite quote from Caesar:

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar.

Et tu, Brute?

"It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf there."

Walk around and ask the youngsters what the Ides of March is and who is associated with the day.

The blank stares are almost painful.

I slept through almost the whole thing. (I'm sick)

I like J.C. and Macbeth but Macbeth is my all time favorite and I have the movie version that you mention and I can watch it over and over. I'd say the fighting was realistic and brutal.

I just read that he goth 23 wounds and a doctor that examined him said only the chest wound did him in.

Well, I guess I'll throw this on the pile just to thoroughly wring out 3/15:
