'Morning, snippy and SAM, you guys are up awfully early!

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!

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. ;)

Morning Water Dragon.

I have "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals", both excellent movies. Tom Berenger palyed longstreet and you're right, he was excellent.
