description: I found Chris Coutts' hilarious Flash animation that reimagines Romeo and Juliet through early 2000s internet chat culture. It’s an accurate, ten-minute parody using the era's distinctive digital shorthand and lingo to retell the classic tragedy.

Chris Coutts has a [chatter's version of Romeo & Juliet](http://www.angelfire.com/indie/christx/tftl.html). A hilarious but accurate 10-minute flash movie. (Coutts has also made [other movies](http://www.angelfire.com/indie/christx/movies.html).)
