It might be a while. Obviously seeing it will be necessary if I am to understand cultural references going forward. Would you say it was Shakespearean in any sense? -- I'll go soon and write an essay discussing in what ways it approaches or denies Shakespeare. Ohhh, methinks I have a one-track mind.

Just saw it last night myself! In some dramatic sense, I think it could definitely be argued for the proposition.

Was that last line in iambic pentameter?

It's short a syllable.

but it's not a bad beginning for a sonnet:

    Methinks I have a one-track mind

I'll work on it later -- so many great words (behind, lined, find, kind, signed, rhymed)

rhyme with mind.
