Well at least when they changed his sex, they picked Candice Bergen to play him. fine actress.

Of course they gave him two kids. I'll bet those kids had a hard time breast feeding.

In Hollywood style homage to Brian Keith playing Teddy Roosevelt in The Wind and The Lion,

They cast him as President McKinley to Tom Berenger's Teddy Roosevelt in Rough Riders.

I was watching the Lord of the Rings, Return of the King.

The Eagles swooping in on the Nazgul, I imagined WW2 allied fighter planes to the rescue.

We know the images and horrors of World War 1 effected the descriptions in LOTR.

Y'think it should be history?

I agree with what Humlind says about music (hey, apt name, hum likes sound lol). For me it's been a major part of my life. It often makes me happy when I am sad, and even happier when I am happy. But I can see where Moi is coming from in regards to movies. You don't really want the music to override the movie/storyline/acting. A light background touch. That's the shway.
