Your Shakespeare References Do Not Impress Post Cultural Critic
The Post is so unimpressed with the new season of Heroes, the show that "was once so thrilling and fun, has become full of itself, its characters spouting crazy nonsense." Like this:
"Here's one I wish someone would translate for me: 'There's a divinity that shapes our ends - rough hew them how we will,' spouts the enigmatic industrialist Linderman played by Malcolm McDowell, who should win an Emmy for keeping a straight face while reciting these lines."
Ah, not a big Shakespeare fan, we presume? Hey, the lucid writing of the Bard is what those conservative critics over at the Post are supposed to like—it's those pretentious postmodern moaners that they usually save their ire for. [NYP; Related]
