Relative Dimension

I was pretty appalled when I found out the Sword of Truth books had been adapted into a tv series, because Terry Goodkind is a rather talentless hack of a writer. But then I found out the show was produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert.

The acting is mostly terrible, it's over-the-top dramatic and in general CHEESY BEYOND BELIEF. But Sam and Rob have a way of pulling that off so well that I was in love with the show after ten minutes. There's only one thing it's missing and that's Bruce Campbell. (It doesn't hurt that the male lead is motherfucking gorgeous. And a Ted Raimi guest spot? WINNER!) And I can't prove it, but I get the feeling that it's actually poking fun at the books, which makes me very happy.

I may have to buy it when it comes out on DVD, because I'm already dying to make fanvids.
