I really meant first American political sex scandal. I'm aware of scarlet letters and such from earlier times. So stop oppressing me. Speaking of, also interesting is David Hackett Fischer's "Albion's Seed."
Narrator's right about the funny clothes and wigs being a thing. Though I understand HBO is doing "John Adams." So maybe some multi-part cable thing could work.
My agency tells me there's no market for American history in entertainment.
Didn't Matt and Ben do a TV thing of Zinn's People's History? How'd that go?
I think Tim's next Libertarian fiction adaptation should be Elvis Shrugged. I think it's out of print, but it's not hard to find & it's completely excellent. (ETA: Aslan Shrugged. Haven't read it, but I'm sure it will be popular here.)
And Christina Hendricks should be in it. Or whatever Tim's next project is. 'Cause I'm just mad about Saffron.

Hee!

Did they? I remember they gave it a shout out in GWH. I have a copy sitting on my bookshelf, of course, I think it's my Massachusetts proof of residency.
Oh, your poor eyes. Yes, enough with this sex! Bring on some violence!!
Bless you, Narrator.
What's that R&G are Dead line about "we can give you blood and sex"?
We can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, or blood and rhetoric without the love, or all three (I forget what goes here), but we can't do love and rhetoric without the blood. (Some line about blood being important.)
I read a script solely on Hamilton's military accomplishments and barely touched on his love life or political career and it still went long! He even had adventures as a youth. The guy had one full life!
From IMDB:
We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.
Red-Eye looks sexy good.
Cillian Murphy, yum.
Definately seeing that tomorrow.
Did I ever tell people my Cillian Murphy in a bathroom story? It's my brush with fame (urine) story.
