Scary indeed!<br /><br />I've often wondered what my life would be like if I had been raised in the deep south, whether or not my views would have been influenced more by peer pressure than family.

It sounds like some of the performances will bring Oscar nominations. I'm old enough to remember what it was like. The clan was still pretty significant where I lived when I was a teenager and even a young woman. I remember a meeting that took place one night in a field near my grandmother's house. Everyone knew about it.

I, too, think that is a stupid reason not to see it. For one thing, she's only on screen for a minute or two. For another thing if we get into boycotting films because we don't agree with something someone in a bit part did in their lives we'd never getMisadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-87332477177505870892013-08-19T23:56:42.054-04:002013-08-19T23:56:42.054-04:00I have been waiting for the release because I want...I have been waiting for the release because I want to see it too. Although, a lot of my "friends" on Face Book are going to boycott it because of Jane Fonda--which is idiotic to me. The Reagan's and the Fonda's were friends in their Hollywood days and Mrs. Reagan is pleased that Jane is playing her part. HOWEVER--just as in the movie "Lincoln" there is a bit of Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-56448777308292886872013-08-19T19:15:05.151-04:002013-08-19T19:15:05.151-04:00Asha, when I saw the movie it was 11:00 in the mor...Asha, when I saw the movie it was 11:00 in the morning on the first day of release and I was amazed at how many people were in the theater.
