I'll admit that this is a concern I've had also. I enjoyed those clips on the website, but some of the Booth scenes did seem a touch over the top for my taste. That's one of the things that I really really loved about Lincoln, that Day-Lewis seemed to make every effort to play Lincoln as Lincoln really was, as far as voice, mannerisms, etc. The thing is, Booth may have been exactly like that in the way he carried himself day to day, in which case it's not the portrayal of Booth, but rather Booth himself that would be a little over the top for my taste. I'm sure they did their homework, and I'm no expert on what it was like to spend an afternoon with John Wilkes Booth. Regardless, I'm not about to rush to judgement before I've seen the whole thing, and with the reports being so positive I'm sure it'll be just fine. After all, it's completely unrealistic to expect anything of this nature to be all things to all people. I'm just really glad that historical accuracy has been so important to the people who worked on this.

Okay, so I'm no expert on how these forums work with editing posts and whatnot. I did something that ended up deleting a post I made, so here's the lite version of that post….

You guys are talking about Moon Pies so much, I'm getting one tomorrow. If you've never had grits and you want some, make sure to put red eye gravy on them. If you don't have red eye gravy, use plenty of better. They're awesome. Smile
