 Exchange the word "Hubby" for "My wife" and I will ditto everything Cleburne Fan said. The trailer looks really good.

I have to tell myself that when movies like this are made, most people don't have the same interests as us, and therefore won't have the same critical eye. I wonder, for example, what percentage of Americans know who John Wilkes Booth is? Then I wonder what percentage know who Mary Surratt is? And then I wonder how many people know what actually happened when Lincoln was assassinated and what transpired in the following days. My guess is, sadly, not a large percentage. I don't think that most people will be watching the movie the same way that people that are on this board will watch it.

So...I guess I'll understand if some liberties are taken. I'm excited to see it.
