Anyone watching Adam and Morena's movie tonite on Sci-Fi Channel? by jwhedonaddict

I'll be in front of my big screen tv ( my hubby usually controls the remote, but in this instance it's Morena, so he'll cave...) with popcorn and my feet up.

Although didn't somebody say they're playing a married couple, or something? Might be a little disturbing!

Um, what is the name of the show?

I just don't spend any time perusing television guides. Also, being wired in to Canadian networks, I doubt this show will be available to me any time soon. Might have to grab it elsewise, yeah, if only I knew what y'all are on about.

Yeah, they did for a little bit.
All in all it was waste of perfectly good electrons. Though it started out with a good premise the middle nearly turned into a Jason flick, and the resolution was atrocious. I mean a couple dozen WP grenades makes a little campfire when hit with a LAW rocket. Sorry to say my prediction was right. The Nothing But Crap network has done it again.
Still, have to admit Adam did a great job with what he had to work with. I think it's worth watching just to see him act his part. As soon as he got sanded, it got so bad it hurt the eyes.

Adam was pretty good in the Chuck pilot. He was playing Jayne, and he's real good at that.

Funniest Adam thing? Find a copy of 'My Bodyguard'. He's seventeen, bless him, and twice the size of the other kids already. Very much 'Jayne: the teen years'. Which is kinda horrifying in itself.

Oh, NCB...I'm not sure you'll want to. Although Adam and Morena are very good, the movie itself is horribly written and horribly directed.

Sorry....*shudder*

I agree with someone above, I'd love to see Adam get to be a good/bad guy, you know the lug with the mercenary soul and the loveable heart. He does that so well.
Morena is stunningly beautiful and did very well with what she had to work with.
I'm sorry though, one minute lamenting the loss of her husband, then commercial break, then falling into the other guy's arms? Eeeeep.

DeMille is so fascinating himself. Someone needs to do a good biographical film on him.

His father was from my hometown of Washington, NC. He almost became an Episcopal priest but went north to NYC to eventually write and produce plays.

C.B's mom was from a good family in NYC and was raised Jewish. Both families objected to the marriage and she eventually became an Episcopalian. Her husband died young and she was left nearly penniless with 2 boys to raise.

She became the first woman to produce plays in NYC and also ran a boarding school.

C.B. did visit Washington once and he filmed the wedding of one of my grandmother's best friends. The film was shown for years in the local theater.

I think his best film is "The Greatest Show on Earth" He got a fantastic performance out of Jimmy Stewart as the clown.

I'd think it was a no brainer myself. Adam has done the is he evil or not oh wait he's evil character so many times that it'd add to the drama for him to wind up good. It'd be like a free shock twist ending for any movie/show.

Oh Man! I just read a bunch of the reviews fellow Browncoats gave the movie--I feel so bad for Adam and Morena! But what did you expect--they were co-staring with Homer Simpson (Dan Castalneta (SP?))

I would still like to see it though--I mean why not, what else do i have to do--does sci-fi releas their movies on DVD or do they just replay them--I don't have cable so I wouldn't be able to watch it there...anyone know?

I'm sorry, but I disagree with whoever said it was the worst sci-fi original movie.

That would have been the one with Nick Brendon (BUFFY'S Xander). Don't remember the name, but it was about a demon made of fire or something. I adore him, and he is so much better than the material he was given.

Maybe Nathan could play Jimmy Stewart....not sure about ole CB . The actor in the Sci Fi movie did OK.

JS had such a range. He could do low down mean and dirty cowboys (rare but I saw movie where like this and he was great) and he could do the goofiest comedy plus the romantic lead.

Wasn't the clown in Greatest Show on Earth sort of paterned on Emmitt Kelly but with the extremely sad twist at the end?

More trivia...Jimmy Stewart retired as a brigadier general in the Air Force. He was a bomber pilot during WWII in the Army Air Corps. And was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh. When ex was a recruiter in 1989 the battalion headquarters was in Indiana, PA and JS's father's hardware store was an historic site.

If I remember the Zink article on correctly, the author does say that Nathan resembles Jimmy Stewart.

And no, I haven't ever tried out for Jeopardy yet even though it's the only game show I really like. We do have a competition to see who can yell out the answer first though when it comes on.
