I thought Friday's NYT review of the "Free State of Jones" was pretty positive, but maybe I read reviews with a a different eye.

It may well be positive; I just can't read it online due to the paywall. The Boston Globe's review is critical but ultimately positive, whch is one of the reasons I'm thinking about it.

I definitely plan to dive into the background information site, though.

Well, that looks like a glorious timesink of American history.

I don't think I'll be able to get myself to the forthcoming "Birth of a Nation," either.

I am hoping to see Nate Parker's The Birth of a Nation (2016) because I read about it when it was at Sundance and never expected it would get a general release; I feel now that it's upcoming at my local theater I should really follow through. I understand the opposite view, though. I seem to find film noir really comforting and I'm watching a lot of it.

Do you mean schreibergasse? I keep meaning to tell him that I follow you on LJ, but never have. I think he'd be entirely plausible in a pin-striped suit.

No, actually! We didn't go to college together; we met in grad school. I see why you asked, though.
