Oh boy, he's doing a movie about Lincoln and then he's filming Tin Tin. Gosh darn, I am so excited, I hope he has time to film a movie about recycling and dolphins, or perhaps recycling dolphins. Oh happy day! (End sarcasm). (Begin sarcasm).

He'll slap a lens on how the world sees Lincoln, which is something I don't especially dig. Unless Mary Todd abuses him and he sounds like Don Knots, I think there's been quite a bit changed. I don't hate Lincoln, and I have nothing against his larger than life status, but there is something interesting about the evidence of who the real man was: An spousely abused man in the presidency, a man that felt deeply guilty about the civil war around him, and ultimately one of the most important men in the history of America. His flaws make his story more amazing. Call me cynical, but Spielberg is going to whitewash the Lincoln story.
