SWAN: Let's go look at movie trailers. Anonymous -- what, like the group?
PAGE: <loads>
SWAN: No, it's something set in Elizabethan England! With Derek Jacobi and other cool people! <reads further in synopsis> . . . oh, shit. It's a "Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare's plays" story.
TRAILER: <plays>
SWAN: Old London Bridge! <swoons in a fit of historical geekery>
DIRECTOR: <is Roland Emmerich>
SWAN: grk.
IMDb: This movie's theory is apparently Oxfordian, since Rhys Ifans has top billing, and he's playing Edward de Vere.
SWAN: <sigh> But . . . London Bridge . . . Elizabethan geekery . . . but Roland Emmerich. And Oxfordianism. <more sigh> Well, at least it seems I'm over my knee-jerk "please god no more" reaction to the sixteenth century. And that's something. Whether or not I can bring myself to watch this movie . . . we'll have to see.
