| Lincoln is Daniel Day-Lewis's "best performance" Posted by RollTide1987 So says Nikki Finke of the popular Hollywood blog, Deadline.com. The film premiered Monday evening at the opening of the New York Film Festival. And for those who doubt her credibility, Finke is probably the most highly respected blogger in the business.  on 10/9 at 1:15 amquote: Reply • Back to Top |

| He looks outstanding in the trailers, can't wait. Reply • Back to Top |
| I almost started a thread about this after seeing the trailer. For such a peculiar looking guy, Daniel Day-Lewis is a chameleon. I mean, this is freakin Hawkeye! It is amazing how he is barely recognizable as himself in his movies. Truly an amazing actor. Reply • Back to Top |

| have you guys read "Killing Lincoln?" such a good book, it will get your juices going for some Lincoln history. Highly recommend Reply • Back to Top |

| i actually borrowed the audio book since i travel in my car during the day and i couldnt get enough. ive listened to it twice. the book is about 60% of actual lincoln stuff, the rest is civil war history and strategy and just the scene of the times. Awesome story!! Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Those bastards! How dare Hollywood make a well-crafted film about a topic people are interested in, casting the greatest actor his generation? Those vile fiends! I will turn my phaser to snark to demonstrate my displeasure of well-made films for adults coming out of Hollywood. Harumph. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: AWFUL book that does nothing but plagiarize many other works before his. Truly a terrible terrible read. I would recommend Manhunt way before Killing Lincoln Killing kennedy may be just as bad. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Come on, Baloo.  I didn't mean it like that. I'm sure it will be a good, well-acted movie, and I will definitely go see it despite my disdain for Lincoln. Everyone knows that there are scenes in there written for Oscars. Probably an extreme pro-government an pro-Lincoln stance. quote: Yall pass on that one and pick up The Real Lincoln by Thomas Dilorenzo. Get an alternate viewpoint from the deification that Lincoln receives from everyone else. Has a lot of great facts and he makes it very interesting to read. I'm not saying y'all have to subscribe to the Tyrant Lincoln point of view, just get both sides of the debate so that you can learn as much as you can, and then choose for yourselves  Reply • Back to Top |

quote: It may be sub-par compared to Manhunt but I appreciate Bill O'Reilly for writing a book about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln because, with him as the author, more people are going to read it then would usually read a book about the Civil War. Reply • Back to Top |

| Yep...I'm sure Nikki is a historian of the highest order. Reply • Back to Top |
