I usually get sucked in by the trailers for "historical" movies. But, the trailers for this one have driven me away. I'm not sure why. Something seems nonsensical. I bought the DVD for Gods and Generals, unseen. Watched the whole damn thing over three days hoping it would get better...or at least end. Gave it away immediately after reaching the end. The books were okay. But even in the books, it took Jackson too damned long to die. -jc On Jan 6, 2004, at 5:52 AM, [log in to unmask] wrote: ArialIn a message dated 1/5/2004 11:50:07 PM Eastern Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: ArialI noted the film had on staff an agronomist.  Every movie should have one.
