Interesting fact I saw noted on one of the other YouTube uploads for this: apparently, the Wachowski Bros filmed in high def, using a technique such that the foreground and background elements would all be in focus... for that anime feel.

And this definitely looks like there's some "The Mammoth Car" and "The Most Dangerous Race" (Car Acrobatic Team) action in there... and checking the IMdB page here: attention, we have Snake Oiler!

Plus: Trixie (Ricci), in a miniskirt (or maybe short-shorts) and go-go boots piloting her helicopter.

This all made me happy today, despite a mild stomach bug and other issues.

FACT: I dig John Adams, 2nd President of these here United States.

FACT: I am currently reading Joseph Ellis' Passionate Sage, which is pretty cool and focuses on his post-Presidency.

FACT: Paul Giamatti as Adams, Laura Linney as Abigail, David Morse as George Washington, Tom Wilkerson as Franklin, Stephen Dillane as Jefferson, Rufus Sewell as Hamilton (perfectly creepy).

FACT: I do not have HBO.

FACT: I wanna see this.

FACT: Any of my peeps who have HBO and a TiVo and make it possible to see this miniseries will earn BIG MONEY, BIG PRIZES, I LOVE IT! (to quote SmashTV, a favorite college vidjo game).

FACT: BIG MONEY, BIG PRIZES, I LOVE IT! = eternal gratitude.

That is all.
