not sure if anyone has seen this story over the last couple weeks. a connecticut congressman has taken umbrage over the film lincoln, and it's portrayal of conn. voters as all voting against the 13th amendment.

hello....it's a movie, not a documentary. if we start demanding complete historical accuracy, it would guarantee lifetime jobs to people having to go back and re-do movies...
braveheart immediately comes to mind. then there's the russell crowe 'robin hood'-my daughter called after seeing it, to ask me if i had known that robin himself wrote the magna carta and forced ol king john to sign it. i had to concede that i didn't know that.

I immediately thought of Titanic. What a load of crap that was.

i didn't watch that, not my cup of tea...but i'd heard about when decaprio is dead and frozen, and she pries him off the board and he sinks-so when my kids had it on, i told them to call me when that part came on.
