Three MAJOR civil war cinema epics are due in 2003. 1) Robert Duvall plays Robert E. Lee in Gods & Generals, out Feb. 21; 2) Jude Law portrays a jaded confederate in Cold Mountain, due Dec. 25, 2003; and 3) Tom Cruise plays a Civil War veteran who witnesses the end of a Japanese culture in The Last Samurai, due Dec. 12, 2003. Gods & Generals is replete with special effects, although director Maxwell still used more than 10,000 extras to re-create battle scenes.

Hey guys, my sister, who is a major Civil War buff, has a Gods and Generals site that she put up. She'd appreciate you visiting it. Here's the link- gandgfilm.tripod.com.

"It might be if'n that was what I said. BTW....Did you have to get a waiver to get in the Marines? Judging from your picture on your homepage you look more like a Mary than a Marine.

If they ever send the Marines to grab guns....I hope they send Mary to my house. ~GRIN~

I hope you're not talking about soon to be ex-Senator Brown Roots Landrieu.

Ya....but when I take the scope of the siderail I can still see and hit the target. When you take off your coke bottles what can you see? About two or three feet?

Stop making assumptions

You two self righteous Yankee do-gooders could do well to repeat that mantra over and over.....ROTFLMAO. Pitch!....if you are not aware that many many American institutions and much of what we call American heritage is under attack from the very folks you have aligned with then there is not much point in going any further or maybe you're too young to remember pre-PC. You guys need to ring up your pal Dutchy Comfort...at least he's a little funny. All I hear here is the shrill bleating of typical Yankee brimming self pride with being so damned high and mighty. We aren't going away, not from this forum or our shared culture. Get used to it. Frankly, except for meddling cretins like you whiners, I would give much of a sh!te about it all. Thanks for motivating me. Actually ....PC do-gooders like you boys are MY enemy.....metaphorically speaking ...sort of...lol

One of your kindred do-gooder self righteous South hating pals

Ha ha ha. The "south" had to be forcibly stopped from continuing the practice of slavery. A hundred years later the "south" was still enforcing state mandated segregation -- a clear violation of human rights in both cases.

The "south" should be hanging their shame for these long standing horrors -- rather than trying to bring back the symbol -- the flag of slavery -- that represented it all.
