... that poor Daniel has the scrawniest butt in film and it was in all his early contracts
that he had to expose it to the camera.

Spalding Gray -- as the hypocritical evangelical minister -- saying grace before the family
meal may be one of the funniest scenes EVER!!!

I highly recommend the movie -- it's actually very, very good.

for awhile, Liam Neeson was signed on to play Lincoln. Then he dropped out, claiming he was "too old" even though he's about the same age as Lincoln was in 1865. I think it turned out to be a win, Daniel Day-Lewis should make a better Lincoln than Neeson.

she's a great actress, but she's 65 years old (ten years old than Daniel Day-Lewis). Mary was only 46 when her husband was assassinated. Then again, Sally has an ageless quality about her.

I hope she greatly exceeds my expectations, because I don't expect much. Nothing against Sally Field; I just don't see her in that role.

Sally Field knows how to play depression and grief.
