she's the man
• Estimated year by which all of Shakespeare's 37 plays will be remade in a high school setting: 2047.
• Factor by which this process is more interesting than watching Ang Lee systematically remake genre films as middlebrow romances in which the guy can't express his love because of social conventions: 3.2
• Predicted rank that She's The Man will hold (assuming that one counts only the best version of any given adaptation): 21st.
• Current rank: 4th.
• Predictive value of hotness of actors for ranking: Near-total.
• Expected rank of Titus Andronicus remake (given that Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet doesn't count, despite expressing high-schoolness better than any other film ever, Fast Times at Ridgemont HIgh excepted): 1.
