HBO strikes again

[Tom]

With John Adams, a seven part mini-series based around John Adams, during the first 50 years of the United States.

Its epic. Each episode is over an hour long, the costumes and attention to detail is brilliant. Superb CGI only where needed, great accents all round, good characters (lots instantly recognisable). Imagine all the best bits of Amadeus, Master and Commander, The Patriot, etc. It looks, sounds and is beautiful.

I'm loving it. I wish we had HBO here, because I'd be a subscriber for sure.

You were doing well until you mentioned The Patriot. Personally I'm looking forward to seeing how HBO deal with Preacher. I think even they'll struggle to it justice.

The Patriot, while not being a particularly great film, had beautiful cinematography and costume design. So ner.

It also had a lying cock sucker in it.

I think "fucking travesty" is the actual phrase you're looking for.

 

[ECA]

Should be good

Fortunately I've never seen The Patriot, so what exactly is it that it gets so very wrong?

Almost everything about the war for a start.

It's mel gibson continuing his crusade against the English.

Does he make time to have a go at the Jews?

Just got round to watching this, only 2 episodes in but i have to say its heavy going. Not sure I will watch the rest, anyone seen it all?

That's a dangerous move. Hope they don't f*ck it up

Yeah I watched em all, final episode is a bit pointless and sad but I suppose its nice to end the story in fullness. I thought it was worthwhile and it taught me a bit about the whole thing which I didnt (and still dont, frankly) care about
