Say What? Our TV Quote of the Day!
Snap Judgment: THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH
The Pitch: A 40 million dollar attempt by Starz to send a very strong message to HBO that reads a little something like this, “Watch your back!”
The Plot: Set against a backdrop of war, religious strife and power struggles which tears lives and families apart, THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH (Based on Ken Follett’s international best seller of the same name) is a sweeping epic of good and evil, treachery and intrigue, violence and beauty where human dramas and love stories entwine.
