    You should read this play called Romeo and Juliet. It’s got a whole lesson about how idiots fighting and holding grudges destroys the most beautiful love of all.

    And Mercutio. He isn’t poking anyone but “A plague o’ both your houses!” is a cool line.

      Harold Perrineau really did play the best Mercutio. There’s obviously a lot of reasons to not like Baz Luhrmann’s teen-romance interpretation of Romeo + Juliet but that interpretation and performance of Mercutio should inspire all future stagings.
