Title: Spoils of Babylon - This Thursday

In The Spoils of Babylon, Will Ferrell plays a "nonexistent author of a nonexistent best-seller." His book, written in the 1970s, was supposedly made into a television miniseries that never saw the light of day — until now.

This may just be amazing.

Saw a commercial for this yesterday.  Thought it was a joke, when I realized it wasnt...  :D

They seem to be pushing this very hard.  I'm trying to believe it's going to be funny but i'm skeptical.

I would help if you were a veteran watcher of 80's mini-series, which I am.  Shogun, Thorn Birds, etc, all were awesome, but so, so cheesy.  Richard Chamberlain was a huge stud of many of them.
