Wow, looks like HBO has done it again, this John Adams mini-series looks good & it has some excellent actors.
http://www.hbo.com/
Paul Giamatti is great & I am happy that he decided to work on a project like this, kind of funny that Tom Wilkinson (a Brit) is playing Ben Franklin, no problems with it, Tom Wilkinson is one hell of an actor.
Thanks for the reminder, I'm excited about this.
I just added HBO again just for this miniseries. Paul Giamatti IMO is one of Hollywood's best actors. This should be a great series.
Just got done watching Part 1 and 2, simply fantastic! It really was outstanding. I'm looking forward to next weeks "Don't Tread on Me" episode.
Just don't forget to say the words :wink: :mrgreen:Quote:

Part of me hates it when things that I love go mainstream. :evil:
I think the first two parts aired tonight. Despite Mike's reminder, and me thanking him for the reminder, I still forgot to watch it or record it. I'll watch the re-airing tomorrow I guess. :)
Watch it in HD! Its even better in HD! Everything is better in HD! :borat:Quote:

I can not wait until the DVD box sets come out :borat:
Yeah, this is definitely a DVD purchase to be made.
Critics are saying if this doesn't win many awards, that the awards must be fixed or something.
I missed what has shown so far so I am going to just have to wait for the DVD set to come out.
It will be available on HBO on demand starting tonight...Quote:

Until reading reviews for this movie, I had no idea he is the son of the late Bart Giamatti, former MLB Commissioner.Quote:

He's awful sick. I hope he doesn't die! :D
I like it so far, what does everone think ?
It's pretty awesome. I've even learned some important life lessons:
- Don't get tarred and feathered
- Don't catch small pox
- Don't get hit in the leg by a cannonball
Amazing! And, from what I am seeing, it is encouraging me to do additional research, the relationship between Adams & Franklyn, is rather roughQuote:

If anyone is interested, Amazon has a big DVD sale running. The John Adams mini-series DVDs are priced at $34.99. No sales tax (yet) and if you use their "Super Saver" shipping there is no shipping cost.

Looks like Circuit City & Best Buy have similar pricing, but I don't know about tax/shipping policies.
Amazon started charging tax on June 1st, unfortunately. Still a good deal with free shipping, thanks for the heads up.
