Shit, Torchwood had a straight character. Background character, yes, but he did say "I'm not gay" repeatedly. Martinus is gonna claim he's just repressed though...

Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Meh, G&G is borderline lost cause fetishism... as far as possible from Shaara's Killer Angels which is the source for Gettysburgh which is supposed to be part of the same two part trilogy.

It had such a southern slant I nearly puked. Almost trying to be revisionist in it's presentation.

I see Gettysburg is out on bluray. I already have the DVD. Is it worth upgrading?

Probably only if you have a 40"+ television.

I have 47", so I guess the answer is: yes?

It depends on how much visual quality is important to you.  For me, I find that even just my PS3 does a pretty darn good job on quality for regular DVDs on a large screen...so I'd only buy Blu-rays I do not have, or to replace an old DVD if over worn/scratched up.  Not worth it to replace a good DVD.  By the time it matters to me, discs will probably be gone.

Also, only if it is a movie I find a need to watch often.  Once every couple years?  Not worth it.

that Stonewall as Abolitionist was just silly. He was fanatical in fighting for a government that was founded "upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." At worst he was an evil man fighting for slavery, at best he was a moral delinquent that refused to consider the moral consequences of his actions.

I always find it funny how after Appomattox Courthouse every single Confederate traitor claims to have been a secret abolitionist all the time.
