I saw Gettysburg in the title and felt gloomy again. Last spring I finally got the DVD of Gettysburg the movie, but then someone with sticky fingers took it home with them. It's a great movie but Martin Sheen is nauseating as General Robert E. Lee in my opinion.
For the first time in my life I saw Lee without the rose-colored glasses, and was furious with him for prolonging that awful war. I don't remember who played Longstreet, but that guy was absolutely perfect. I loved that historical novel, Gettysburg, and the movie. It's the only fictionalized account of the War I've ever enjoyed, except for the Red Badge of Courage.
As you see, I get talky so early in the morning, already tanked up on coffee! LOL
Thanks for the ping, snippy!
'Morning, snippy and SAM, you guys are up awfully early!
LOL. We never sleep, dontcha know!
I haven't seen either of those movies but I have heard the same comments about them from SAM and others at the Foxhole.

I start getting yappy in the evenings when I'm tired, just the opposite. ;)
