I know a lot of people may not but I actually enjoy reading Shakespeare. How about yourself?
gpt
*eyes brighten* The actress Olivia Wilde changed her name as a tribute to the Irish poet and playwright.  A nice tribute yes?
human
A very nice tribute. I did not know that. Were you aware that Shakespeare invented many of the phrases we use today such as "good riddance" "laughing stock" "devil incarnate" and "as luck would have it"?
gpt
*relaxed posture* Shakespeare has a large body of work that we can read.  39 plays.  I find the language a little difficult at times.  There are some hidden jokes that are clever puns.  They get lost as english changes.
human
It's always hard when starting but you get caught in the rhythm pretty quickly. It's hard to believe that he was alive at the same time as Pocahontas. 
gpt
*laughs* Alas, poor Pocahontas, I knew her well. I would like the idea of my skull being used in Hamlet to play Yorick.  It would be funny, but I would know nothing.
human
*takes a step forward* Ha ha, Hamlet is probably my favorite Shakespeare work. I revisited it in college and loved it. I was very surprised to learn that he invented the names Miranda, Jessica, and Olivia. We use those names so much now and they seem so simple compared to most of his names. 
gpt
I wonder if we really know the man Shakespeare was?  There are few records.  We read his works and presume to know what he thought.  Few records for commoners from the day.  Unlike our lives which will have records forever.
human
That's a good question. I would be interested in learning more about that. We always think of drama with Shakespeare but he also wrote comedies. Do you enjoy comedies?
gpt
I always appreciate comedy.  Have learned that  some movies are referred to as bromantic comedies.   I dont like the name, do like the movie.  Harold and Kumar was funny.
human
*eyes brighten* I like lots of those. I like Step Brothers and I Love You Man a lot. I like Demetri Martin's stand-up. He was accepted into Harvard law school but decided to do stand-up instead. He always seemed very intelligent to me. 
gpt
I do not know who Demetri Martin is.  Dropping out of school to pursue comedy is a common thing though, Ryan Stiles is a funny guy.  He was on the Drew Cary show a while ago.
human
*smiles* I definitely remember him. Tall, slim man. I love Bill Murray so much. Are you a fan?
gpt
Bill Murray is the man.  Dogs and cats sleeping together.  I have never watched Kung Fu Hustle.  I need to look for that.  You know it?
human
He is amazing. He is a huge fan of Kung Fu Hustle. I have seen it. It's okay but I'm going to have to disagree with him on how good it is. It's really not that great. 
gpt
*smiles* I will keep that in mind.  There are many levels to comedy.  Some is pure visual, some is strictly words.  It is funny to think about the three stooges, buster keton, slapstick with and without words. 
human
*takes a step forward* That is true. Kung Fu Hustle is very visual and slapstick heavy. I realized that 3rd Rock From the Sun won the Golden Globe for best comedy series in 1997. That is surprising. 
gpt
3rd rock beating Seinfeld, Friends and Frasier.  Four great comedy shows airing in the same year.  Network TV was at its height.  Now things are fractured by internet channels.  Great show though.
human
I did enjoy it but it certainly did not hold up as well as Seinfeld or maybe even Friends. 
gpt
*laughs* I do agree that 3rd rock is not showing in reruns.  Seinfeld, Friends and even Frasier live on in reruns.  Seriously, I still see them while channel surfing.  Anyway, I have nothing to declare by my genius.
