The miniseries based on David McCullough's biography begins tonight on HBO. I'm stoked. |

Honestly, Giamatti's performance in those clips was laughably bad, IMO.
Liberty will reign, IN AMERICA!!

He played John Quincy Adams, who was John Adams' son.

Just finishing the first episode, and this is GREAT!!!!
Seems to be fairly accurate, so far (with a few timing and story tweaks). But the acting is VERY good, and I like what they are focusing on , in this first episode, tons. |

That was great. First class all the way around. The scene where they voted for independence gave me chills.
Magnificent. |

Looks like it kicks ass to me. Alas, I'll have to wait for DVD.

I will buy this on DVD if there is a promise that at one point Adams stands up and yells at Washington
"YOU ARE THE MOTHERfuckING ANTI-CHRIST!!!"

Speaking of Washington, David Morse is dead on in his portrayal. Even better than Jeff Daniels in The Crossing. The likeness is amazing.
