Great use for MTW2 in art.
So I was watching "Edward III" by William Shakespeare at Bulandra theater and when they had to portray the Battle of Agincourt they used MTW2 (during the play) while the background music played Jazz.
Just imagine, the director implemented MTW2 in a Shakespeare play.

Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
the combination of MTW2, shakespeare, and jazz is hurting my mind...
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
Heh. That's kinda cool.
I have to agree with Big_John, though. Playing jazz music during *any* Shakespeare play is just plain wrong....

Ooh, them's fightin' words!
I actually love jazz; it's one of my favorite music genres. It's just wholly inappropriate for some things, however....such as Shakespeare.

Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
Jazz shouldnt really be anywhere near in shakespeare I personally think... unless they really changened the theme, which makes it kinda cheesey... and thay would create what I call a "bolls/balls/bulls-up-triangle"
MTW2
JazzShakespeare
If one thing is changened (not removed) some else will have to be changened... which will inturn cause a chain reaction
Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
Edward III
Medieval 2: Total War
Agincourt
Jazz
One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.

C'mon people, it's Romania! At least no one's sucking anyone's blood.
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

It just seemed to fit.
Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
Well, considering I have Django Reinhardt playing from when I wake to when I sleep - I may, given time, find offence in insults against Jazz.
However, this, is rather terrible.
I can only hope they don't portray the battle of Phillipi with Rome: Total War.
(No, Europa Barbarorum would not make it any less degrading.)
All I can note is they must have performed terribly as actors, to even consider using a video-game to portray a far-less-than-crucial event of that play.
And yes, the Battle of Agincourt, though at the centre of the play, is by no means crucial to it's success. Especially not in this format.
Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
good jazz is good. good things tend to be good, most of the time.
but people can feel however they want about it, no water off of my back.
jazz + shakespeare = not good. under any circumstances. dissenters will be ostracized.
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

I thought it was common knowledge that 15th century English marching music was infact Scat singing?
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
Sorry to be a pendant, but I suppose it's apt in this case if I am the one to be so, but the battle portrayed in Edward III is the battle of Crecy, not Agincourt, which was fought by coughkinghenrycoughvcough.
I must say that though I do love jazz (it is probably my favourite genre of music) mixing it with Shakespeare would be like, making a puree out of lobster and foie gras! Simply not on.

Re: Great use for MTW2 in art.
Yeah just imagine the 500 French Knights hurling themselves onto the English pikes (do you have any idea how many Timurid generals did this facing my Janissary Archers?). The audience might find that a little strange.
As for mixing Shakespeare with Jazz, that is just wrong. The only thing I can think of that would be more disturbing is Napoleonic Battles to the sound of Abba, at least if they picked that Waterloo song they could make it more relevant.
I really wish I hadn't thought of that now. Looks like it will be nightmares tonight...
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

Gah a moderator needs to close this thread now before anyone else reads this.
I am sorry for bringing such a thought to the Guild.
