        *whatever the opposite of footnote is...prologue, maybe?*
                                I know you're all wondering where I've been and are deeply concerned. I went AWOL. I didn't mean to... Hello? Isn't life supposed to slow down once the kids go back to school? NOOOO! Dag nabbit....anywho, on to tonight's entry...

           I saw the first preview for Steven Spielberg's upcoming film, "Saving Lincoln." Given my unhealthy obsession and fascination with all things Lincoln and the civil war, I wet myself with glee. I am not ashamed to admit this. It looks absolutely phenomenal! I am beyond impressed with Daniel-Day Lewis' portrayal and how they were able to completely transform him. Sally Field also looks   promising as Mary Todd. I did, however, take notice of one major departure from other Lincoln movies. It doesn't appear that he will be fighting vampires or zombies. I wonder why. It is called "Saving" Lincoln in point of fact, so would it not stand to reason that it should be titled "Saving Lincoln from Zombies"? or "Saving Lincoln from Vampires"? Maybe he's fighting weasels this time. If this is indeed the case, I can totally get behind that..."Saving Lincoln from Weasels." But I digress...That story will just have to wait for the sequel...

           I look forward to seeing this and providing a review using the unusual family rating system. Actually, I think I can provide the review right now. Loved it - need to own it. It will be fantastic whether he's fighting weasels or not. Lewis rocks everything he does, so I believe this should be a slight improvement over "Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies".  As long as he's not cavorting with prostitutes.
