I just bought G&D, no Andersonville DVD in that one for me...saw no special DVD set on sale yet in WalMart

Just as well. "Andersonville" is a dreadfully bad movie.

Some of the re-enactors I spoke to had been in "Gettysburg" and a few had been in "Glory" also.

Funny thing about being a extra on that movie. They asked us to show up in dark blue trousers and black shirt and boots, which I duly did. Some people showed up in blue jeans (which they specifically asked that you not do) and those people got the full costumes. All I got was a broad brimmed hat one day. Another day I got a calvary jacket and kepi. They would announce before almost every shot: "please remove modern looking glasses and any wristwatches."

We call these Farb material...

In our unit some hard up reinactor would approach anyone with either modern or inaccurate items and would say "far be it for me to say those do not look accurate for the period", since then, we call modern and inaccurate items "farbee" items.

The act of calling on Farbee items is Farbitized...

That's because your reputation on FR preceded you. They were looking for historical accuracy, don't ya know?
