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.

It was crap.
Sorry, but it was.
Rah, rah, I'm gay, me too, oh and me. Now, let us blabber about racism and politics etc etc etc.........and some more. Now let's go to Antarctica. Yay! Let's all be uncomprehensible, but not really mean much, because we are making the least interesting and attention-catching programme ever. Pah.
Best bit - Al Pacino on phones.
Or maybe turning over to find the Premiership was on.
Auf Wiedershen Pet for me tonight, not stupid fake-angel and dying man in bed.
Normally I like things like that, but not this. Looked good in the adverts, not so good in reality.

Oh right. I see now.
Yeah, they're doing that on Film Four over the next week.

Surely that'd be just one six hour viewing?
Aparently it was split into 6 hour long shows in America.
Wish they'd done that here...

I'm still in the process of figuring it all out.
I think it's structured around self-consumption due to inner angst - AIDs being symbolic of this. Pacino's character is slowly being destroyed by corruption, Louis by guilt, his former lover by loneliness, that other guy by the realisation that he is gay, and his wife by her drug addiction. And they all live in America - this spoiled promised land. The angels? Perhaps a personification of a second chance for these people. Who knows? I'm not sure yet. Ideas?
It certainly was very heavy on dialogue.
