F.U. is back!

hocdvd.jpgIn this context, "F.U." are the initials (and common form of address) of Francis Urquhart, political plotter extraordinaire and the focus of the House of Cards series which aired several years ago in three series: "House of Cards," "To Play the King," and "The Final Cut." Anthony Hopkins may have given us the villian the world loves to fear, but Ian Richardson's F.U. might be Dr. Lector's political counterpart--the politician we fear exists. It's oddly fitting, of course, that the lead character's form of address--most of his close associates refer to him as "F.U."--represents what he does to anyone who gets in his way.

The three-DVD set will be available in late-August; information is finally available. How quickly can we say "amazon.com pre-order..."? This may be my big DVD excitement of the year...make of that what you will.
