HF New Ron Maxwell Docudramas

[TallTallMan]

I was watching William C. Davis speaking at the Sacred Trust Talks in Gettysburg in 2023, and he was introduced as working on "two new docudramas for television" with Ron Maxwell.

My feelings for G&G are not nice, and I know how all you feel, no needless to say...be alert.

Well, that has the potential to take us right back to 1996, doesn´t it?

I was born the year of G&G. Certainly not an honor, but a prophecy about what I'd devote my spare time to.

That means no matter what becomes of your life, there will always be one thing that you´re better than.

For the disappointment that was G&G, I thought Copperhead was a decent film. So, maybe Mr. Maxwell learned some lessons from his product gone awry in 2003.

They churn out like 2-3 big docudramas at the History Channel what feels like every year going over everything long-time History Channel viewers already know about subjects. Maybe he can do one of them eh?

Maybe he'll fix the wildly-inaccurate Grant one.

That guy couldn't direct is way out of a wet paper bag with a crowbar. Let's hope that he never makes anything Civil War related again.

Whatever happened to Edward Zwick? I'd love it if he tried the CW again.

Funny you should ask. He has a new book out and is on tour for it. He'll be in Chicago on Thursday and Friday. Always nice to see a local boy do well!

I doubt that the "artist" who gave us those Gems of the Genre Little Darlings and Parent Trap II could "fix" an elementary school puppet show. More likely is the previously-thought impossible: he actually makes it worse.

Boy! What did Ron ever do to you, man? Steal your Pop Tart when you were five?

(I agree, though!)

He didn't have to - he committed grand larceny when I paid coin of the realm to watch his cinematic dumpster fire.

You made me laugh out loud.

Have you ever seen the Director's Cut? It has an offensive, pointless, and convulted slave subplot.
