The Assassination of Jesse James (Trailer)
I really love all of the comments about Pocahantas. As we all know, Hollywood loves to make movies out of history. The question is this, does the movie version of history align itself with "real" history?
I am looking forward to this movie.

Vikki,
I will definitely discuss some of the events that Jesse James took part in. He was a terrorist and a cold-blooded killer in the Civil War. He did some very, very nasty things during the war. I am curious if the movie will touch on some of those events from his life. Stay tuned.

So I've never even heard of Jesse James. I'd kind of like to cover him in class before I see the movie though so that I can see "real" history before I see how WB portrays it. Looks like a good movie though.

Oh my. His kids didn't know his name or why they moved so much around? Is that true? It would be a really strange thing if it is.

Cool, I hope that turns out to be a good "cinematic adventure". How was 3:10 to Yuma? Does that have any historical backing?

Yeah, I can't say I've heard of Jesse James either, but I just wiki-ed him. It looks interesting, though. I'm curious as to how Robert Ford is a coward.

I can't believe y'all haven't heard of Jesse James?!? I'm sure your textbook doesn't even mention him. As I stated previously, he was a cold-blooded killer who died an inglorious death at the ends of Robert Ford, one of his former gang members.
I hope it's good.

Big today in class. Sorry to hear about your migraine. I hope you feel better. Important set of notes today, make sure you get them from someone in either second or third period. Unfortunately you will be missing Roots today. It's awesome!! Hope to see you tomorrow. Make sure you read tonight if you can.

This movie looks pretty interesting. I would really like to see it if we discussed him in class. Two questions, do you know if they have a set date for it to come out? And why do they call Robert Ford a coward at the very end?

Katie,
Robert Ford is referred to as a coward because of the way in which he kills Jesse James. Hope I didn't ruin the movie for you, but JJ dies in the end. Ah history. I think the movie will be here in a few weeks.
