This TRULY has to be a must see...I've never seen the play.

But, here's the one chance I can see it...only on HBO.

Anyone else going to watch it?

3. Pacino as Cohn?
should be interesting. Well if you like it enough already, maybe you could it from Amazon.com, I have gotten movies that I never saw, I did it with Billy Madison when I was 10 and Band of Brothers last year, I had never seen either but I bought em anyways.

4. Emma Thompson as the angel looks AMAZING. Trailers are WONDERFUL.

Honestly, maybe it's just me, but the angel....that is really something I've never seen on the screen. I mean, it's very similar to all the paintings with the wings and stuff, but something about how they've done it is just incredible, IMO. Visually stunning. (and apparently Thompson and Streep have multiple roles?)

I wasn't too breathless about seeing it, but that commercial got my attention right quick. Also, Entertainment Weekly fleshed it out for me (gave it an A, btw) so I understand the story a bit better. Very excited, Thompson and Streep will be up for Best Actress Emmys for sure. Thompson is going to kick all ass, I know it.

I'd tape it for you, but I've never figured out how to videotape cable. :( Out of all of us, I know someone can do it!

The trailer that got my attention isn't there though. Hmm! Still looks good though.

8. I have no idea what the play is about
Except I think it has something to do with AIDS. I saw the previews on HBO and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it. I'm going to try to see it cold, with no expectations.
