A Stillness at Appomattox.


This settles the fate of all coming time, not only of the millions now in bondage, but of unborn millions to come. Shall we stop this bleeding?” The trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln is now online, apparently covering roughly the last month of the president’s life. It definitely looks more than a little Spielberg-y around the edges, but I can’t wait to see Daniel Day-Lewis — love the accurate high-pitched Kentucky voice — and Mr. Lincoln’s army of sterling character actors in this. (Showing Hal Holbrook early on was a touch of class.)

  1. DD Lewis has the chops to be a changeling in this film Tommy lee Jones seems out of his element

    He was perfect in No Country for Old men but the glimpse i saw of his role in the trailer looked mighty iffy

  2. Especially since Thaddeus Stephens is from Vermont, not Texas. (That being said, TLJ’s terrible wig is historically accurate.)
