Before I end this tour of Shakespeare in the movies, I just have to give a shout out to Steve Martin and Woody Allen for their tributes to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This play holds a special place in my heart, possibly because I’m a borderline hedonist with a special appreciation for Dionysus, the Greek god of partying. They call him the god of wine, but I think he’s also the god of psychedelic mushrooms. But that’s another story.

A Midsummer Night’s Sex Comedy is funny, like most of Woody Allen’s movies, but doesn’t stand out as one of his best.  L.A. Story, on the other hand, is one of my all-time favorites and proof that Steve Martin is friggin’ brilliant.

Anyway, it’s been fun, but it’s time to move on. I’ve been itching to take a long road trip.
