I have seen Gods and Generals but, like Neil, I'm also waiting for the DVD that is due at Christmas time. I think I am going to watch it the first time alone because my husband Charlie kept telling me to be quiet. I spent most of the first time we watched it saying either "He didn't say that" or "That is out of context", "That didn't happen", "What absolute B.. S...!"
I was given the idea that perhaps duct tape over my mouth might be the answer so, for the second round, I kept my hand over "my biggest character flaw".
But if it gets here in time for Christmas Santa better make me a very happy lady!
As for historical fiction, fiction is still just that. I don't mind when they take pure fictional characters and warp them every which way, but everyone on this board won't take lightly to the creative processes of "Hollyrot" being applied to some of our idols.
As we say down South, I'll kick my own dog, but keep your **** hands off!
And Tommy, I love your disclaimer. How did you get that to appear on your post? I have yet to succeed as to a picture or a flag; I can't get the size right. But I would certainly like to have a little sally at the end of my posts! It shows Character, or my lack thereof.
LOL
Till we meet again, I am, YMOS,
