Magic City

[teledork]

A new series on Starz. I've been seeing their promotions for this. Stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olga Kurylenko and Danny Huston. Set in Miami during 1959, Morgan dreams of putting in a world class hotel-resort in the city. Huston plays the local mafioso that he has to go through. Olga prolly plays the rich bitch that shows her boobs a lot.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this. JDM is one of my few man-crushes. Plus, I like the milieu. Anyone else gotten wind of this thing?

Saw a couple of trailers and a "making of/interview" thing on Starz after an episode of Spartacus (love that crazy show!). Very interested in checking that series out when it premieres, especially when I saw Morgan was going to be in it.

Discussed it with Lovergirl tonight: We're gonna DVR that bastard.

You have to understand....Lovergirl is jealous of her DVR space. We currently have "Glee" and "American Horror Story" saved...nothing else. She's into JDM, too.

Good start. Need to rewatch to catch more detail.

Costumes are ridiculously cool. The look and vibe of the show is excellent. Makes you wish you could go back in time and show up there.

More details later this weekend.

I've seen the first four eps. GREAT looking show. Script and some of the acting just destroys it, though.

My dvr has been instructed to return it to the wild.

I'm hoping it ramps up a bit with tonight's episode - last week's ending indicated that a couple of folks were well on their way to getting whacked as photos were found.

I was talking to my sister-in-aw about this yesterday, and she feels the same way as you, teledork. It LOOKS great but it's hard to get in to from a script sense. It's a bit too laid back.

Heh, I thought this was a thread about Rob building little houses out of his Magic cards, kinda like how kids build tents out of bed sheets.
