Will anyone be watching this tonight?

I certainly will. A TV-adaptation of a drama play about AIDs, staring Al Pacino and Meryl Streep. As well as having two incredible actors under its belt, it also looks very interesting and witty. The only letdown is that Channel 4 have compressed it into two three hour slots, which means it's going to be two long nights in front of the box for me.

Pt 1 - Today, C4, 9.00pm.
Pt 2 - Tomorrow, C4, 9.00pm.

Indeed. Would've been a good play to see. Wonder how long the actual play lasted for!! Heheh.

It was actually written as a play first, which would explain that and the heavy amount of dialogue. A very good transition to the silver screen.

That was excellent wasn't it?! You don't see that very often, if at all, and it's nice to see something a little more unique.

Just watched Chapter 6.

In retrospect, an excellent production with some temendous acting. The ending soliloquys gave it a nice feeling of completion.

May even get the DVD.

Haha, I really found that funny! It's like.. you don't know whether it's serious or not until she comes out with that. The humour in it was a little weird, but still my kind.
It was also quite disturbing seeing old Meryl Streep have a plasma orgasmata.. :D

Ah, I really enjoyed that.

Very weird, but very good at the same time. Have still got Chapter 6 to watch, which I'm really looking forward to.

Nope, second bit was no better.

It seemed to contradict itself. Like that bit where dark haired Jew gay guy was attacking repressed gay guy. That was actually a really good scene, one could really feel the passion.

Then the angel said 'i've torn a muscle' etc. Rubbish.

Auf Wiedersehn Pet was far better.

Watched first half hour of what I taped on Satruday yesterday morning, thought "this is crap". The end. Nice idea, nice title, rubbish execution.

Well that was a suprise! I was expecting it to be *really* good wheras, in parts, it was extremely hard to get into. But it got better by Chapter 4, 5 and 6. I liked the whole storyline and characters too. Al Pacino was funny! "Next time I come back.. I wanna be an octopus." Hehe. Got some memorable scenes in it.
I'll buy this when it comes out, probably only for the music, but I wanted to watch this for such a long time, so it *has* to go in my collection!
