Angels in America and The Thorn Birds

I refuse to pick one for this because both of these, have touched me and affected me so deeply.

As a recovering Catholic (and someone who went to Catholic school longer than they didn't), the idea of a priest struggling between his vows and love just hits some serious kinks for me. I usually don't dig those kind of relationships but in the book, it's clear that at the start, the age difference between Father Ralph and Meggie is that of a big brother and sister type. He leaves before she hits puberty and it would be weird. When he returns, well she is completely changed. She's a woman. And for the first time, he has to pick between God and love. Just adore it. And holy shit, for that idiot who said gay men can't play straight, watch Richard Chamberlain. Holy crap. Between the mini-series and the book...yeah, it was my first wank material. I'm full admitting that. LOL



Angels in America, totally different side of life. I was OBSESSED with the play from the moment it came out. I have three copies, one signed by Tony Kushner. For my Theatre Dynamics class, I picked as my final project. I casted it, staged it, I had so many ideas. So when HBO announced it with such a fucking incredible cast, I was hooked. I pre-ordered the damn DVD. I can't watch it as often as I would like because it guts me. Some of the scenes hit me on such a personal level, as someone who has watched friends ravaged by AIDS before the cocktail. It's just beautiful and touching and I can't say enough about it. A must see, whether in play or series form.
