A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

This but unironically?
West Side Story was a real transformation of the work that added in places and subtracted in others.
If you want to learn about R+J, you absolutely should read the original. Better yet, you should see a performance by a professional Shakespeare company.
Don't watch the Spielberg knock off. Don't even settle for the Baz Luhrmann film. Watch the original if you can.
Purely on it's face, it is an incredible piece of artwork. You can enjoy it entirely in it's original form.
