Trivia
Shortly before his death in 2014, executive producer and director Mike Nichols revealed that out of all of the movies he had directed in his lifetime, he considered this to be his magnum opus.

Goofs
When Louis takes Joe to his Alphabet City (tenement) apartment, he opens his door which is in a long line of doors down the hallway. Once inside, he suddenly has two large windows, front and back, where there shouldn't be windows because there are more apartments on either side of his.

Quotes
Prior: I usually say, "Fuck the truth," but mostly, the truth fucks you.

Crazy credits
Person Generally in Charge of Everything Aaron Geller

The Best Picture of the Year

It was only a few months ago that I read the plays of "Angels in America". I was amazed that something so massive could be captured on the stage, but even more so to think that it could ever be caught on film.

Mike Nichols is one of my favorite directors and made one of my favorite films ever ("Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"). With one of the greatest casts ever assembled, he has done justice to what is one of the greatest pieces of drama ever written.

Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Emma Thompson, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeffrey Wright, Justin Kirk, Ben Shenkman, and Patrick Wilson are the ensemble cast that tower along side ensembles like those of "Nashville" or "Short Cuts". Each and every one is brilliant, though Streep and Pacino both prove that with age they have become better than ever.

This is more than some made for TV movie. This is the movie of the year.

The second part of "Angels in America" shows tonight. I am confident that there is no reason to wait to post my comments because I'm certain it will be just as incredible.

The Emmys of 2003-2004 will have a theme: "Angels in America".
