"Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it."

-John Adams

Poor Adams.

You need to watch the 1990 version - not because it's good but because it has Mr Dillane - and Sir Ian Holm.

Poor Adams indeed--that series gets me every time.

I knew I had read that somewhere! Which part does Stephen play?

Warning comment: He's tall, dark and handsome in that film. I have come to learn that I'm only really really attracted to tall, grey and handsome Dillane. I don't know why but I think the lighter colour hair better compliments his features and he's genuinely one of those men who looks better as he ages. I saw shots of him when he was younger and my reaction was basically, "Eh." Strange, because I'm usually a whore for tall, dark and handsome...

Deeply fascinating insights, I know.

Here! Have a random screenshot of a film I don't like:
