John Adams
HBO is currently broadcasting a mini-series on John Adams. Shaun made me start watching it with him. Okay, well he didn't make me, he asked me. And I agreed because I knew it would be good for me. I just was unprepared for HOW good for me. I'm sure you will be able to rent it soon- produced by Tom Hanks, incredible, incredible acting by Paul Giamati, Laura Linney, and many other seasoned actors and familiar faces. I'm not going to try to put it into words, here's a trailer and a clip of one of my favorite of his speeches thus far, though it is SO much more powerful in context of the whole series. We laugh, I CRY, and I often find myself clapping and screaming "AMEN!" It applies to the past, but also our present and future. If you only watch one of these, watch the second. In one word: phenomenal.
