Um... When Did Romeo and Juliet Have Babies?

7 January 2009 12:03 PM, PST | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

They may have been star-crossed lovers, and they might have tied the knot and spent a night together consummating their marriage (even if their warring families didn't know), but I don't think ol' Juliet had time to plop out Romeo's baby before dying.

There was no time for pregnancy and baby delivery.

You may remember Matt Shapiro from his awesome viral video last year, “2007: A Year for Drama.”  If you haven’t seen it, check it out here. After the success of that one, he made another music video to look back on the films of 2008.  It’s amazing.  I’ve watched it about four times now. Like many of the YouTube comments say, this should be the opening for the Oscars this year.

Here is the video:

Below are the list of films he used to create the compilation:
