So...I spent my afternoon with Max subchannel on Amazon Prime.
And I stopped watching "John Adams" when the system stalled and said something went wrong.
So, I got out of it and surfed other channels.
And then I got back in to just see what might be next for me.
And before I could decide on my next, post-"John Adams' viewing (I have two episodes left), I stumbled onto and into "Angels in America."
I watched all evening and have one episode left to watch. I would have finished it except I, again, got the "something went wrong" notice and it wouldn't start up again.
I know I watched "Angels..." when it aired, and I know I bought it on Blu-ray when it first came out.
But I swear to you, it's like I'm seeing it for the very first time!
I remember the opening...and I know I remember how and where the last scene was filmed.
But, it seems I have no recollection of the story in between. I didn't remember how extraordinary all the actors are, especially Al Pacino as Roy Cohn.
I certainly didn't remember Patrick Wilson and Mary-Louise Parker! And Emma Thompson Meryl Streep. They are all wonderful.
Justin Kirk and Ben Shenkman and Jeffrey Wright are amazing.
I guess I just wasn't ready to absorb the story when I first watched it. It has certainly registered with me this time!
