I can't wait. Great director and the best actor of his generation.

Based on the best-selling book, Team of Rivals, by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, the screenplay has been written by the Pulitzer Prize winner, Tony Award winner, and Academy Award nominated writer Tony Kushner. It will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg.

It is anticipated that the film will focus on the political collision of Lincoln and the powerful men of his cabinet on the road to abolition and the end of the Civil War.

now I'm a big fan of DD and Spielberg. HOWEVER, I don't like the choice for Lincoln. Simply because I think the expectations will be so super high it might not deliver.

But go get someone more understated but can nail the nuances.

I mean it will be a great film but dunno know about living up to the hype.

i dunno about expectations really, Spielberg hasn't really made a good movie in 8-12 years (depending on taste.)

and Day Lewis? He hasn't made a good one since '98. Were his performances good? Yes. Were the movies good? not really.

So i guess i agree with you. Recipe for disappointment.

Full disclosure, I feel this way about most things.

      I never thought a second look was even necessary. I was begging the football gods not to have us trade up to the 1st pick. And damn once we did it was a thoroughbred vs a little pony.    If you have a perceived generational player in the pool and you have the 1st pick, you just don’t trade it. In the first place. But all this Bryce drama - which (understandably) takes over almost any thread, just like this one - would never have happened if the team was not sold to Tepper.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      I agree. I understand why he did though. And surely he had his parents in his ear who have always gone out of their way to make sure he always had the best and the least amount of adversity around him to that point in his life advising him to do so. Where I take the most issue with it is when people who just want to be sycophants start listing off other QB's who didn't throw at the combine and you don't even make it through half the names before your eyes roll right into the back of your head realizing every single of those QB's who didn't throw already clearly showcased the necessary prerequisite physical talents needed for the position.
