No, that quote is not Shakespeare, it belongs to Sir Walter Scott. But that's not it. Another title for this movie is "Cobweb Castle".
If that's right, let's see if anyone can figure out what this review refers to.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's only half the answer! You can't go yet!  |

What? That the movie is based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, and also had a title "Cobweb Castle" isn't the whole answer?

Nope. Those are the easy parts.  |

Is it that Macbeth's Burnam Wood is the Cobweb Forest in Throne of Blood? |

That's a neat interpretation! I wish I'd thought of it. 
'Transplant' is the key word but you need to take it more literally. |

OK, here's the scoop.
Cobweb was the name of one of the fairies from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Hence, transplanted from one Shakespeare play into an adaptation of another.
Apologies for the obscurity (now you know why I didn't FYCTH this one!  ).
CL, since you got the first two parts, the floor is yours.

That's exactly why I started this thread. There are some wonderfully obscure yet perfectly pertinent reviews that are so much more fun to figure out.

ok, this one has been rejected as too generic for The Blue Lamp
Obscure perhaps, but generic? it couldn't be more specific
DP PC DOA: RIP?
chew on that one and if you work it out you'll earn no votes at all just mucho kudos. |
