Just saw this movie last night. I guess I didn't realize there was such a debate over the authorship of Shakespeare's works, but after looking into it, it seems like a worthwhile debate. What say ye, Pit? Is Shakespeare a fraud? Did someone else really author his famous works?

Is the movie itself any good?

I enjoyed it. They did an excellent job recreating the period.

You're the only person that saw that movie. Box office bomb...

Directed by the cinematic master Roland Emmerich (Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, 10,000 BC, 2012, etc.) Haha, why the fuck did they choose him to direct a period piece?

Very few serious academics align themselves with the anti-Stratfordian faction.

There just isn't sufficient evidence in the texts or the biographical/historical record.
