Turner was a lousy actor anyway! As Patton, he would have made a better body!!

When I was in the theater watching Gods and Generals everyone was being very quiet until Turner made his brief appearance and then all started laughing.

Anyway, I liked Gods and Generals and am hoping that Last Full Measure will eventually be made.

What's the matter with you ladies? I would have followed Turner into battle. So long as my bayonet was fixed and no one is looking.

I was just looking for information on "The Last Full Measure" today when I ran across this forum. I really hope that movie is made. I loved "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals" (although, I agree, Turner's appearance was a little much).

Well, I don't know about Turner being a good actor. It just seemed weird to see him up there, even when he commented on the fact that there were very few "old" men in the army on either side, and that the average age was 18 and about 120 lbs, and the average re-enactor is 40 and 190lbs. So for him to show up in it was purely uneventful. But I do hope that some where down the line they'll make it. Who know's maybe someone other then Turner needs to pick it up.

I have nothing bad to say about Ted Turner being in the movies he had a big part in funding and producing. And he is definitely easier to look at than Phil Gramm.

True, if anyone is willing to put up so much money and effort to make a movie like Turner did, there's nothing wrong with him making an appearance in it. It just kind of caught me off guard, though. It's not every day that he suddenly shows up in the movie you're watching. But if he wants to be a part of it, he can go right ahead.
