Which just reminded me:  I saw yesterday on TV that they had finished main
shooting for "Gods and Generals," which is the prequel to "Gettysburg."  It
will have many of the same cast as Gettysburg, including Jeff Daniels as
Joshua Chamberlain, but this time Robert E. Lee will be played by Robert
Duvall (who was on the short list to play him last time) and Bruce
Boxleitner??? will play James Longstreet (played by Tom Berenger in
Gettysburg).  If you saw Gettysburg, the man who played Pickett (Stephen
Lang) will be playing Stonewall Jackson.  I am not sure how it will turn
out, especially with Lang being such a good Pickett, not sure if he will
make a good Jackson (who is a big hero of mine), but I still got vaklempt
when I saw the report about it.

Just talking about it makes me vaklempt all over again.
