Am I wrong or is this story very similar to something else? I haven't read the novel, so it's not that I'm comparing it to the book. It's this plot of man goes off, woman struggles at home, man struggles hard to get back to woman, they have sex, he dies the next day, she's pregnant after the one night (her first time of course) and her life goes on as a tribute to him, sort of. I thought it wasn't a bad movie but the plot just seems soooo familiar. Marcy ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 16:33:23 -0500 From: "Stewart C.

It captured the bloody awful futility* of the Battle of the Crater. The firearms were suitably crude. The music was excellent; shame they had to cut it up so badly (like the 20 or so seconds of "The Coo-coo Bird"). In a couple of decades or so, Jack White might be a pretty good mandolin player. I wasn't so sold on some of the revisionism (inter-racial banter in the confederate trenches?) and the yee-haw-we-got-our-war pistol salute was probably an anachronism, but there are worse things to do in a movie theatre than see it.

Too bad I wasn't home when he came by. - - Steve __________ To be sure, the fatuous hypocrisy of the Bush case for war is no reason to let Saddam Hussein drop a nuclear bomb on your head. Iraq may be an imminent menace to the United States even though George W. Bush says it is. You would think that if honest and persuasive arguments were available, the administration would offer them. But maybe not. - Michael Kinsley ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2004 23:23:57 -0800 (PST) From: Capuchin Subject: Re: Hey, should I vote for this guy?

I'd say, "Only in Texas...", but we have the OCA here. Thankfully they've been almost thoroughly laughed out of the public consciousness. It's amazing that this guy wants to cut anything that helps people and increase the facilities for hurting people and yet calls himself "Christian". Unbelievable. It seems you'd be able to turn guys like this around with just ten minutes of straightforward discussion... unless he's actually mentally ill. Maybe you should track him down to have that discussion. And bring a Bible.
