As important as the real thing is, and as well intentioned as the filmmakers definitely are, judging from this new preview, the Prop 8 trial video reenactment looks like it could be a snore-fest.

I know we can’t tweak the script and bring in a writer to polish the dialogue, but these actors just aren’t bringing anything to their roles. Can we spice it up a bit? Maybe bring in a new D.P. or something? Mix in some dramatic music cues? Something. Anything.

I want to watch this thing. But I also want to say awake. I’ll give them chance to hit their stride. Maybe Day 1 is like the Pilot episode and hopefully they’ll get better as it goes on.
