new television i'm probably going to watch
the spoils of babylon starts tonight on IFC.
The six-part series, which begins on Thursday night on IFC with two half-hour episodes, is a broad parody of those overblown mini-series of yore in which wealthy clans lived vapid lives full of steamy melodramatics. It is from Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die shop and features Mr. Ferrell as Eric Jonrosh, an overweight author who introduces each episode, Orson Welles-like, explaining the torturous history of his efforts to bring his “Spoils of Babylon” novel to the small screen.
Tim Robbins is amusing as Jonas Morehouse, the patriarch of an oil-rich clan that includes his daughter, Cynthia (Kristen Wiig), and a young man named Devon (Tobey Maguire), whom Jonas quite literally finds on the side of the road in West Texas in 1931 and welcomes into the family as a son. Cynthia and Devon have the hots for each other, and decades’ worth of preposterous complications result. Val Kilmer, Jessica Alba, Haley Joel Osment and other fairly well-known stars turn up to nudge the story along. (via)it looks weird, but you can't not watch with all those people in it.
