Baz Luhrman Double Feature

Some fun facts about Romeo+Juliet and Moulin Rouge: Did you know that, like most of William Shakespeare's work, the verse of Romeo and Juliet is written in iambic pentameter? Pete Postlethwaite, who plays Father Laurence, is the only actor in the movie who speaks using this meter. Also, Courtney Love has gone on record calling losing the role of Satine to Nicole Kidman one of the biggest disappointments of her career and made no secret of her resentment against Kidman.
