Anyone else watch the start of the miniseries last night? I probably wouldn't have watched it on my own, but Iain wanted to see it and I had nothing better to do.
This was my review that I sent to Deeky (and contains no plot spoilers): "We just watched the first part of The Prisoner miniseries on AMC. God, Jim Caviezel is the shittiest actor ever. It's not terrible, but what I hate about it is that it does that thing where, to show that a character is confused or woozy or wev, it shakes the camera and uses image trails and colored overlays (ooh! everything's red! that means something WEIRD is going on!) and puts carnival music played in a minor key on the soundtrack. JUST LET THE ACTORS ACT. Someone saying, 'I don't know who I am or why I'm here' conveys sufficiently that something's fucked up. Christ."
Ian McKellan, as always, is awesome.
