I’ll wait until my public library gets the DVD.
I’d go see Skyfall before I’d see Lincoln.
Okay, I can’t help this, but the last sentence triggered this:
(The Clash, SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO?)

No, wait until you can see it on TV.
Go if you wish. I understand Daniel Day Lewis is awesome. Even the voice he used for Lincoln was well researched. But be prepared for a liberal movie probably twisting historical facts.
My son, whose movie reviews are generally limited to expressions like, “it was okay.” or “ Meh,” actually raved about it. He is a solid, Christian conservative who doesn’t praise films lightly. He said it was not a Lincoln-worship pieceraising the issue of suspending habeus corpus, forcing votes, corrupting his political enemies to achieve a majority, etc. Apparently it paints him as a pragmatist over everything else, still slightly left in its conclusions, but a good flick overall.
I plan on seeing it.
Why give leftists any money for their view on history. Read books.
Don’t do it...it’s just more lefty propaganda. My local newspaper reviewed it today (I have not seen it, nor will I), the local reviewer says it’s about Lincoln in the last days of the Civil War; the plot apparently revolves around whether Lincoln can keep the war going long enough so the South will be in the union when the 13th amendment is added, otherwise (I guess) slavery might continue.
Given that Lincoln believed that the South could not secede, the story must be entirely made up. If that’s the plot line the whole movie has to be nonsense.
That tyrannical basterd crapped on the constitution and needlessly caused the death and suffering of hundreds of thousands of good americans. He could have done the right thing and took the federal governments boot off the neck of the south, instead he chose war
the south got screwed over and Stincoln Lincoln was a dirty rat basterd.
Obama loves Lincoln
I absolutely despise most of Hollywood, so I don’t go to movies.
That mouthless freak Ebert gave it 2 thumbs and another liberal ass-wipe material called rolling stone gave it good reviews too which means...
I won’t watch it. My neighbor told me it was just a cliched look at Lincoln. Libtard Spielberg supposedly just focused on him freeing slaves. Pretty much a liberal white guilt movie but it’s your time.
I try to go to the theater at least once every five years for real “movie theater popcorn”. I went to see “Trouble With The Curve” a couple months ago. I’m good for another five years. If it isn’t on TV or DVD, I usually wait. JMO.
Am I imagining this? Didn’t a few years back a lot claimed the civil war wasn’t fought to free the slaves but to, I don’t know, some other thing.
Now, all of a sudden they are back on track with it was to free the slaves?
If you have to ASK, you already know the answer and you are seeking permission to go against your better angels. You won’t get it from me.
Perhaps save your movie money for “Red Dawn”....
If you have cable or satellite, watch Turner Classic Movies, Retro or some other old movie channel. Or better yet, if the weather is good where you live, go outside. Take a walk, rake leaves, sit in the sun. You'll feel a lot better than wasting your time and money in a dark theater watching garbage.
NO. Don’t give a dime to those a******s in Hollywood. Go buy a book from someone who isn’t a lefty, or better yet, start writing your own book.
No. Buy her some flowers and take her out to dinner to thank her in a small way for all she does.
