Crush absent as Royals' Guthrie takes on former team
O's counter with lefty Chen, but will be without injured slugger Davis
The Orioles undoubtedly will go into Saturday night's game against the Royals without first baseman Chris Davis. The uncertainty is just how many games he'll miss after that. Davis left Friday night's 5-0 loss to the Royals with a left oblique strain.
The reigning American League home run champion actually seemed in good spirits about the injury, joking with reporters that he would be sidelined 48 to 65 weeks. Even so, the reality is that an oblique injury typically takes six to eight weeks to heal.
"I've never had an oblique strain or whatever you want to call it, but it doesn't feel so bad right now that I can't move or anything like that," Davis said. "So I think right now, we'll just take it one day at a time."
Davis appeared to be hurting in his last at-bat, grimacing during a third-inning lineout against Yordano Ventura. He said he's been dealing with some discomfort in the area for the past few days.
"I think this time of the year, it's early, it's cold outside, the weather's not the most ideal. You're going to have aches and pains," Davis said. "Tonight, when I started swinging, felt good in the cage before the game, and a couple swings off of Ventura just didn't feel good. At that point, Buck [Showalter] kind of took it out of my hands. Something that we're going to keep an eye on and hopefully not let it get too bad right now. It's too early for that."
Wei-Yin Chen makes the start for the Orioles, and he'll take on right-hander and former O's ace Jeremy Guthrie in the second game of the series.
Earlier on Friday, Guthrie sat in the visiting clubhouse at Camden Yards, munching popcorn and watching video of the Orioles hitters. It was like watching the main feature at the Rialto.
"It's better than going to the movies," Guthrie said.
When Guthrie faces the Orioles on Saturday, he'll be back at the ballpark where he's pitched most often in his career. He spent five of his 11 Major League years with the Orioles.
So is it an advantage or disadvantage to be pitching on such familiar ground?
"I don't think it's either," Guthrie said. "Because if the team you're facing is good, that's a disadvantage. If the team you're facing is bad, that's an advantage. It has nothing to do with the stadium."
Of course, he does feel comfortable in Baltimore.
"Oh, I feel comfortable. I felt very comfortable in Houston, too. I was actually comfortable in Cleveland," said Guthrie, touched for four runs in each of those games. "If 'comfortable' was the issue, I'd be a Cy Young Award winner every year. I'm very comfortable."
Orioles: Machado back with a bang
After several months of rehab from left knee surgery, third baseman Manny Machado moved into the next phase of his recovery with a flourish on Friday night. Beginning an assignment with Baltimore's Class A Advanced affiliate, the Frederick Keys, Machado smacked two doubles and a triple in four plate appearances and came around to score two runs against Myrtle Beach.
"I'm glad rehab's over with. It's been too long," Machado said a couple of hours before Frederick's 5-3 loss. "But it's part of the process. You can't just walk up the mountain in one day. It takes time, and I'm excited to be out here."
Unfortunately for Machado, the weather threw a wrench in the Orioles' plans for him, which included batting second in the lineup and playing third base for nine innings on Friday at Harry Grove Stadium. With first pitch delayed about an hour by rain, Machado was switched to designated hitter as a precaution against the wet playing conditions.
Although he couldn't try out his glove, Machado made good use of his bat. Facing Myrtle Beach left-hander Victor Payano, Machado put an inside-out-swing on a 1-2 pitch and lined a double down the right-field line in the first inning. In the third, he lifted a deep fly ball into the right-field corner and motored into third without hesitation when right fielder Nick Williams couldn't make a tough sliding catch. Machado then jumped on a first-pitch fastball in the fifth, rocketing a shot off the center-field wall -- 400 feet away -- for an easy double.
Royals: Bueno report is 'muy bueno'
Left-hander Francisley Bueno, in his third week on the disabled list, threw a bullpen session on Friday afternoon at Baltimore and reported that his injured left pinky was just fine. He was hit in the hand by a batted ball on April 6 against the White Sox.
"He threw good, he had a good side session," said pitching coach Dave Eiland. "There's no discomfort in the hand or the finger anymore. So he'll probably throw another light side again here Sunday morning, and then we're looking at batting practice on Tuesday or Wednesday in Kansas City."
Bueno will be sent out on a Minor League injury rehabilitation assignment after the Royals see how his BP session goes.
Worth noting
• The Orioles lead the Majors with eight outfield assists, led by ex-Royal David Lough's three.
• Last year, the Royals won the season series against the Orioles, four games to three. The Orioles won two of three in Baltimore.

I know this is a long shot but I was wonder if there is anyone with the build instructions for this kit? This is 1/32 scale kit of the Russian spy sub was made by Baymo in Germany in collaboration with a Russian outfit in small numbers (10?). I managed to acquire an unbuilt example with most of the fittings but no parts list or instructions on how to make the masts raise and Torpedo doors open etc. I have a worked out a vague way of getting bits to operate but would like confirmation.
The fittings are fragile so it may only be fit for show, but it be nice to get it all working.

I wanted to like this light; the style is very nice. Unfortunately it is nothing like the photo shows. The glass shade is almost all cream with very little color at all. Returned the item.

Comments: this is a great lure. Dives to a good depth. Catches my striper limit. Get some different colors TW! Had to buy the"crystal pro blue" from basspro. I would've rather bought from here though
From: striper team: flezno
Comments: When everyone's POUNDING the fish w/ suspending jerkbaits ona highly pressured body of water in the coldwater and winter to spring transition...Use this bait. Everyone's so stuck on suspending but a slow floating or slowly sinking stick bait can make all the difference. This is a great option over flats for smallies as well and when bluegill are around the beds/shallows during the spawn...cast this thru the areas with a faster cadence and pause...that slow rise will drive em nuts.

Comments: Wow! Not only caught a bunch of peacockbass, but also caught loads of largemouth. Placed 2nd in a tournament with this bait. Huge fan of the Slender pointer 97, but this bigger profile catches bigger fish. Change the hooks to the triple grip hooks and you will rarely lose a fish.
From: 1Puttric: Ft. Luaderdale, FL
Comments: Sikk rip bait! Caught some decent bass with this new guy. The new tapered body(wider back and slender belly) and thin lip really makes this bait go wild when ripped. The action to this bait is between and vision 110 and a squad minnow, which is exactly what LC needed....new favorite!
From: OgBass: Cal Delta
Comments: this is a great lure, the head tilts down when you jerk it in the water, I've caught some striped bass on it already. You gotta have one of these in your arsenal of rip baits! -Hmong Striper team-
From: _FeBeast_: Fresno, CA
Comments: I've been waiting for this lure.. Should be a striper magnet here in California.. Hmong striper team, we got a new "go to" lure!!!

US teen Shiffrin wins Cup slalom
ZAGREB, Croatia Mikaela Shiffrin is living up to her billing as skiings next big star.
The 17-year-old captured a slalom by a massive 1.19-second margin Friday night, becoming the first American woman to win two World Cup races before turning 18. Her first career victory came last month in Sweden.
Everything went really well today, said Shiffrin, who had the fastest time in both runs. It felt great.
She leads the World Cup slalom standings and even overtook Lindsey Vonn as the top American in the overall standings.
Vonn resumed training Thursday after a monthlong break from the circuit but skipped this race. Shiffrin has 426 points overall to 414 for Vonn. Both are way behind leader Tina Maze of Slovenia, who has 1,139 points despite going out in the second run Friday.
Its definitely one of my goals to win the slalom title, Shiffrin said. And then the GS (giant slalom) title, and sometime the overall. Right now, I am taking it day by day and race by race.
The overall crown might take some because Shiffrin competes only in the technical disciplines. But for now she is in the midst of a breakthrough season after becoming the youngest woman since 1977 to win two slalom races in one season. She also has six more top-10 finishes.
I had a tricky time last year, a couple of races where I straddled (a gate), Shiffrin said. This year I fixed that and have found my groove.
Shiffrin leads the slalom standings with 336 points, followed by Veronika Velez Zuzulova of Slovakia with 312 and Maze with 310.
Shiffrin led by nearly a half second after the first run and extended her advantage in the second, finishing in a combined 2 minutes, 1.73 seconds.
I was just letting my skis taking me to the bottom, and that is what I am looking for, she said.
She became the youngest winner in nine editions of the Zagreb event, which is billed as the Snow Queen Trophy. The winner is awarded a crown of glass and a robe. The crown, however, broke into pieces in a box.
I think I have a new Halloween costume for next year, Shiffrin said. First I need to glue (the crown) back together.
Shiffrin was helped by mistakes from her closest challengers after the opening leg Maze and Swedens Maria Pietilae-Holmner, who both failed to finish their final run.
Frida Hansdotter of Sweden was second and Erin Mielzynski of Canada was 1.76 behind in third. The rest of the field finished more than two seconds behind Shiffrin.
Hansdotter called Shiffrin an amazing skier.
And she doesnt think too much, Hansdotter said. She just goes for it.
Velez Zuzulova won the last two races in Semmering, Austria; Munich but finished 24th Friday after a mistake in her second run brought her to a standstill. Maze straddled a gate in the second run.
Slalom world champion Marlies Schild of Austria, who won on this course the last two seasons, has been ruled out for three months after knee surgery in December.
Shiffrin said she was back to full strength after fighting a persistent cold in December.
I was a little bit sick, I think I have my energy back now, she said after the first run.
Shiffrins American teammate Resi Stiegler finished ninth for her best result since recovering from knee surgery following her crash at last years World Cup finals.
The course was in excellent condition despite warmer weather the last couple of days.
A mens slalom on the same course is scheduled for Sunday. The womens circuit travels to St. Anton, Austria, for speed races next week.MORE IN Sports WireCLEVELAND The headband returned.

YUCK! August 16, 2011
She is too ugly to represent Danish girls. They are much more beautiful. This girl looks like Lindsay Lohan on a bad day. She is totally bitching about this guy. She says that she has been told to show her tits and says that she has no idea why. And that this place is so weird, it must be American taste. And then she talks about how her breasts are small compared to silicone America. She is pretty much hired for it and a huge turn off.

Pretty Girl, Only shit was her saying "it hurts" and "its sore now" those were huge turn offs! I liked the way the man was gentle and his approach was good. Her goods were that she knows how to deliver a nice BJ, but bad riding though, overall rating would be 6.5/10 in my opinion. This was an expert speaking...

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "
New Jet Preview: Embraer Legacy 450
The Brazilian airframer promised a "game changer," and it is delivering.
A little over a decade ago, Embraer's entry into the corporate jet market engendered some skepticism. Until then, the Brazilian airframer had been best known in the civil market for its commuter turboprops and regional jets. Its initial foray into the corporate jet industry involved taking two of those models, the ERJ-135 and the E190, and turning them into bizjets by adding more fuel tanks, upscale interiors and enhanced cabin soundproofing.
But then Embraer announced plans for four completely new airplanes to complete the spectrum, from the entry-level Phenom 100 to the transcontinental, midsize Legacy 500. Today, the Phenom 100 and larger 300 are being assembled at Embraer's new Melbourne, Florida campus, while the Legacy 500 is in flight test in Brazil. The company expects a slightly shorter variant of the 500, the 450, to make its first flight later this year.
When Embraer CEO Frederico Fleury Curado announced plans for the 450 and 500 in 2007, he promised a "game-changer, a not me-too aircraft."
That's just what his company intends to deliver.
Embraer has rapidly gained bizjet market share by offering a simple value proposition: more for less. It's a formula that has already taken a big bite out of the business of Cessna, helped to destroy the jet market for Hawker Beechcraft and made Bombardier hear footsteps. The philosophy lives on with the 450.
The 450 and 500 share a fuselage cross section that provides unprecedented cabin space for aircraft in this category. Aboard the 450—which is positioned in a niche Embraer calls "mid-light"—there is room for seven to nine passengers, depending on the cabin layout. The lavatory features a solid door, vanity, basin and vacuum toilet—a luxury not usually seen in an airplane of this size. Cabin choices include a two-place divan opposite the entry door in lieu of the forward right-hand storage cabinet and the aft facing seat. If you don't want the divan, you can use the space for a full-size dry or wet galley. The latter features hot and cold water, four gallons of potable water, an ice drawer, crystal storage, compartments for china and silverware and a 110V power outlet. Options include a monitor and espresso maker, and another single seat can be positioned next to the galley.
Flying with a stable of clothes horses? No problem. The baggage hold is cavernous for an airplane in this category: 150 cubic feet. Passengers can bring more luggage, skis, golf clubs and anything else than they could fit into almost any other midsize or super-midsize jet.
Add to all that space some serious whiz-bang, starting in the cockpit.
The traditional control yokes are gone, replaced by side sticks connected to a fly-by-wire (FBW) flight-control system. FBW eliminates the mechanical linkages between the flight controls and the flight-control surfaces (ailerons, rudder, elevator and spoilers). Pilot inputs are combined with sensor inputs and computerized flight-control laws for crisper and faster inputs that do not deviate from the aircraft's performance envelope. FBW appeared first on fighter jets and, later, on airliners.
The cockpit offers state-of-the-art Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics. The four large active-matrix LCDs in the panel connect the pilots with synthetic enhanced vision with an optional head-up display; electronic charts, maps, graphical weather depiction from an intuitive MultiScan weather radar system that sees up to 300 miles out; and an airport surface-management system that minimizes the chances of making a wrong turn or colliding with another vehicle on the ground, even when visibility is limited. The system minimizes pilot workload while incorporating data from just about every known safety system. The MultiScan weather radar has the predictive capability to guide pilots not just around bad weather but over it. Fusion can grow to accommodate future technology add-ons such as voice recognition, surface guidance and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), the future of air traffic control.
Passengers on the 450 will be treated to Honeywell's high-definition Ovation Select cabin-management system, which allows for control of entertainment, communications, lights, temperature, window shades and more via drink-rail-mounted units, wireless handheld remotes or a galley touchscreen. The system can interface with high-speed satellite communications and a variety of consumer electronics, including iPods, MP3 players, Apple TV and gaming systems. Moreover, it is built on an Ethernet backbone and offers extensive diagnostic and troubleshooting capability. Ovation's media interface also hosts the optional JetMap3HD moving-map applications and provides news, weather and sports updates. Ovation uses high-end Rosen HD monitors and Alto audio components. The aircraft pressurization system keeps cabin altitude at a comfortable 6,000 feet at the 450's maximum cruising altitude of 45,000 feet.
You can get up to 43,000 feet just 22 minutes after takeoff thanks to the aircraft's pair of quiet, state-of-the-art Honeywell HTF7500E engines (6,540 pounds of thrust each).
Beyond the hardware, Embraer is moving to give midsize airplane customers the same care and feeding afforded those who spend tens of millions more. Last year the company hired Jay Beever as vice president of interior design. He previously served as design manager for new product development at Gulfstream Aerospace, where he worked on the recently introduced G650 and the Elite interiors for the G550 and G450. Embraer's plan is to offer customers an unmatched array of interior choices and personalization for the 450 with the help of the latest high-tech tools, including computer modeling, animation and rendering software at its Florida design center.
"We are going to give midsize-jet customers the same completion experience they would have if they ordered a [$50 million] Lineage," says Robert Knebel, Embraer vice president for executive jet sales. It's a safe bet the customers will like it.

Saw Lincoln yesterday and thought that Daniel Day Lewis, James Spader, Tommy Lee and Sally Field gave amazing performances! One of the better films I've seen in a long time Agree? Disagree? Discuss
My take on it: the performances were amazing. The movie itself as a movie - not so much. I can still see the performances in my mind's eye, but not any specific scenes. I had forgotten the movie part by 24 hours later.
I thought the acting was fantastic, my only complaint is I had trouble keeping track of all the different politicians portrayed, so it got a little confusing for me.
I was disappointed in the film. Daniel Day Lewis was brilliant, as expected. And the attention to detail given to the political process was commendable - but IMO, no very interesting. And some of the political discussion was way over the top. In short, I thought the film had too many old white men with scraggly/ugly beards, and some of them were rather lousy actors.
Loved it! The actors were top-notch. There is so much written and filmed about Abraham Lincoln -- he is an outsized, larger than life figure (have you ever seen the Lincoln Memorial in person?). There simply aren't sufficient words to describe the beauty, truth and immediacy of the great acting performances. I didn't even recognize James Spader. I think to enjoy the movie, you kinda need to know or understand the back-story and something about politics and about history, and about acting, and about the 1860s -- the way people lived then, and about the Civil War, and indeed about filmmaking. Also, perhaps it might help to have read Doris Kearns Goodwin's remarkable book: Team of Rivals, upon which the story is loosely based. Goodwin's book was over ten years in the making. When Spielberg learned that Goodwin was writing a book, he secured the film rights from her before she was even close to finishing the book -- he admired her writing and her knowledge of history and politics that much. It is a huge book and a full biography of Lincoln that (despite everything already written about him) yet sheds fresh light on certain aspects of his life, and of his Presidential administrations. It explores not only his life, but the lives of the men in his administration. The film, just like the book really places readers/ viewers (inside the frame) in the moment with these extraordinary historical figures. They live and breathe, and it feels like we are taking part in their daily lives. But the film had to be pared down to focus on only one significant aspect of Lincoln's heroic out-sized life and presidency. The script went through numerous overhauls. It wasn't until Tony Kushner (Pulitzer-prize winning playwright) came aboard that the focus began to take shape. I think it was a good decision for them to focus on the amazing battle to pass the 13th Amendment, with just giving a flavor of other aspects such as Lincoln's relationship with his wife and sons, and his relationship with the men in his administration, in particular with Secretary of State William Seward (portrayed by David Strathairn). I didn't know a lot about Thaddeus Stevens who was a leader of the majority party in the House of Representatives. He was also a radical abolitionist. What makes the film fascinating beyond the Lincoln portrayal is the parallels with politics and political battles today. Nothing much has changed except for the amazingly ironic fact that the Republican and Democratic parties today are so different from their makeup and philosophies back then. The other fascinating thing about this film is the astounding wisdom and foresight that Lincoln possessed. He knew that it was not enough that he had signed the Emancipation Proclamation. He had to get the 13th Amendment passed in order to ensure that slaves would remain free, at least in the legal sense of the term ... as indeed African-Americans continued to struggle for their actual freedom and for their rights as citizens and human beings well into the 20th and 21st centuries, inspiring other so-called "minorities," ethnic groups, women, gays and lesbians, etc., to battle for their rights and freedom too. A highlight of the movie is when Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln (and he IS Lincoln in this movie) explains to the lesser mortals in his administration exactly why he needs to get the 13th Amendment passed, and why it is the right time to fight for it, and why it is so urgent and necessary. Sally Field is astonishing as Mary Todd Lincoln. If Sally Field, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Tommy Lee Jones don't all win Oscars, along with Spielberg for directing, justice will NOT be served. http://news.yahoo.com/video/lincoln-live-q-steven-spielberg-220018087.html Great interview with Steven and Daniel http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=iz3eMw2XOdk&feature=endscreen Great interview with Sally Field re the role http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/race/lincoln-new-york-film-fest-377317 Article on buzz about the film http://awardsline.com/2012/12/20/tommy-lee-jones-oscars-lincoln-supporting-actor/ print interview with Tommy Lee Jones http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaddeus_Stevens Wow! http://awardsline.com/2012/12/19/sally-field-lincoln-supporting-actress-oscar/ print interview with Sally Field http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hdvyvLhw2s unrelated to Lincoln -- Sally Field's youngest son presents her with an HRC (Human Rights Campaign) award -- very poignant
I am a big Civil War buff, so I am really looking forward to seeing this. Can't wait till I get over this Flu or whatever the heck I have so I get out and see some movies.
I really liked it, but it might be because I'm comparing it to the other movie I saw recently Les Miserables. You really see the differences between a director who knows what he's doing (Spielberg) and one who thinks he can make a movie around a sequence of close-ups (Hooper). I liked that it concentrated on a specific point in Lincoln's life instead of trying to cover everything and enjoyed Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, and Tommy Lee Jones.
I couldn't wait to see it, and I saw it in its first week. I really liked Lincoln, for the acting (particularly DDL), and for the details Spielberg put in it. I liked it that the movie focuses on a very short time in Lincoln's time in the WH, and on his legacy- abolishing slavery/13th amendment. It was exciting to watch history on the silver screen. I felt that it lacked the intensity of some of the other top movies (I have not seen ZeroDarkThirty yet). Still, this should be a strong contender for Best Picture. I am rooting for it. I have not read the book 'Team of rivals' but I heard that only a very small part of the book is used in the movie.
^^ Yes, Doris Kearns Goodwin's book is a huge tome which explores Lincoln's entire life with a major focus on his Presidential administrations, including wonderful portraits of the men in his first administration, many of whom were his political rivals. That's why it was so difficult and took so long for the filmmakers to come up with a script for a 2 1/2 hour movie (which is long for movies, but not nearly enough time to do the entire book justice). They were smart to focus down, particularly on the historic passage of the 13th Amendment which was not a slam dunk to pass like those of us who are not political or Civil War era history buffs might have thought. Goodwin's book could easily be made into a 12-hour mini-series and still not cover everything she wrote about Lincoln's life and the lives of the men in his administration. Her book is a tour de force. Yes indeed, I really enjoyed the film and I could watch it again to discover more of the nuances. I like that the film is challenging to watch and to fully understand. The way it is written, directed and acted treats the audience like they are intelligent human beings who have minds of their own. It makes the audience (those intelligent enough to be intrigued and challenged) want to seek out more information about the characters, the incidents and the time period. The film provokes, challenges and entertains at the same time. Some people don't like Steven Spielberg or his movies, but he is truly a master filmmaker who often makes the complex look simple and easy. I like the meticulous attention to detail (authenticity of that period). They beautifully reconstructed the way the Lincoln White House looked during the 1860s, which I found compelling and educational. And once again, both the Goodwin book and the film have a depth and immediacy that places readers/ viewers inside the story, like we are part of it. We can see and feel the humanity, the inner and outer struggles, the flaws and human frailties, the prejudices, the complexities, as well as the heroic qualities of some characters and of the time period in which they lived. It's a film and so of course it provides in essence only a small snapshot, but it does so with a great deal of resonance and specificity. BTW, I don't feel that Lincoln is the greatest film ever made, or even the best that Spielberg has ever made, but it clearly is a very good film created with a great deal of devotion, integrity, expertise, and attention to detail. I neglected to mention in my earlier post that Tony Kushner also most definitely deserves an Oscar for the screenplay (adapted from another source). I will be very disappointed if at least Kushner, Field, and Day-Lewis don't win Oscars and Golden Globes for their work (and SAGs also for Field and Day-Lewis). I think Spielberg, and Jones deserve the Oscar and other awards too (and even James Spader should be nominated), but granted there are a lot of wonderful films, directors and actors contending for deserved honors this year, so it may not be a slam dunk for Lincoln to win Best Picture and Best Director, but it will surely be nominated in a number of categories for all the major film awards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=129z0IN6y3k Interview with Joseph Gordon-Levitt who portrays Robert Todd Lincoln Interesting interview ... especially the part about how Spielberg made the set environment so easy and conducive for actors to do their best work, and how Spielberg centered everything on the set around Daniel Day-Lewis, even to the point of always addressing him as "Mr. President."
I definitely want to see Lincoln again, because I am sure I missed a lot of the details in my first viewing.
To be honest, while Daniel Day-Lewis (will win Oscar easily IMO) and Sally Field were solid and gave good performances. The film itself was rather disappointing. You could definitely tell it was Spielberg's handywork by the "Look at us!" "Look at what we did!", and "Look how great we are!" It was a rather blatant attempt (in my view) to buy Oscar votes for best picture with the kind of feel-good story that Oscar voters love. It just kind of wrecked the whole thing for me.
Interesting true story. I was at my dentist's office having my teeth cleaned. The dental hygienist told me about her friend who is a waitress at a local restaurant in the foothills of Western CT which is frequented by Daniel Day Lewis (there are a lot of celebrities and movie stars who have houses there). One day her friend was his waitress and she had the audacity to tell him that she didn't like "his film". After he had paid the check and left, there was an outsized tip(this is far less than an upscale restaurant), with a note on the napkin that addressed her by name with the message that he apologized that she hadn't enjoyed the film and that the tip was in refund for her movies tickets! Upshot: She's an idiot and he is the ultimate class act!
^^ Wow, amazing ... both the audacity of the waitress and the absolute classy response by Daniel Day-Lewis. After hearing that story, I admire him even more if that's possible. You can tell from DD-L's interviews how utterly kind, intelligent and reflective he is as a person, as well as how devoted he is to his craft. DD-L is so NOT full of himself.
I'm going to go see it after the New Year (as well as Les Miz) when I finally have some decent time off. I've heard such great reviews and I love ALL of those actors! I'm sure I won't be disappointed. I didn't know James Spader was in it-my first memory of this actor is from "Pretty In Pink" when I was a kid! I loved him best in "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" though. I just don't think it was very polite of her to make a negative remark about his film. Something like that could have spoiled his enjoyment of his meal. I feel bad for Mr. Lewis-and what a class act he is indeed! Okay aftershocks-you've talked me into buying Ms. Goodwin's book! I'm intrigued! And thanks very much for all the links! I'm having a good time reading through them!
I agree that the movie, while having some OUTSTANDING performances, is a bit flat for me. However, I thought the choice of focusing on the passage of the 13th amendment was brilliant. It allowed Spielberg to show Lincoln as the consumate politician that he was, and DDL brought that to life with his incredible performance. It is very much worth seeing the film, just to see the excellent acting. DDL will easily win an Oscar, Sally Field might too. And I think the adapted screenplay might as well. But I doubt the film will.
Thanks for your mention of this book. I picked it up yesterday and am enjoying it very much! What a great read!
^^ Glad you are reading the book, KCC. I need to revisit it myself since viewing the film. So, Lincoln has received the most Oscar noms, which isn't too surprising. I am very impressed with the film and with the acting in particular, but as I mentioned before, it's not the greatest film ever made. I haven't seen many of the other nominated films, but I hope to at least before the Academy Awards broadcast. Today I came across the linked NPR interview with civil war historian, Bruce Levine, who interestingly points out some of the historical flaws in Spielberg's film. http://www.npr.org/2013/01/08/168793872/the-fall-of-the-house-of-dixie-built-a-new-u-s I do think that Spielberg was cognizant of the fact that Lincoln's views vs those of the Radical Republicans in regard to slavery is a very complex and multi-layered issue, which he could not effectively treat in a 2 1/2 hour film. In addition, I think Spielberg's small scenes with the black soldiers, the blacks entering the halls of Congress, and the reactions of Lincoln's butler and the comments/ scenes with Mrs. Keckley (Mrs. Lincoln's seamstress and devoted companion) were intended to give a flavor re the complexity of issues that we as intelligent viewers would necessarily have to look more into beyond the film for deeper knowledge and understanding. There might have been a better or stronger way for Spielberg to emphasize within the confines of his film the extent to which black people were fighting for their own freedom and advancing the cause of freedom, but a totally different film will likely have to be made to do that subject full justice. Perhaps it is a subject Quentin Tarantino should tackle for his next movie project. I haven't seen Django Unchained, but I mean it looks to me from the trailer like been there, done that many times before, especially in the 70s (albeit the 70s is QT's aesthetic). But that's a different thread topic. Obviously, Spielberg's aim is a loving and humanly balanced portrayal of Lincoln, not necessarily a specifically accurate to the letter portrayal. However, I agree with the civil war historian, Mr. Levine, that Spielberg could have provided a bit more context re how the 13th Amendment first came to be proposed, i.e., it was not a pet project of Lincoln's from the beginning. He came around to it later with a hefty push from Thaddeus Stevens and the Radical Republicans. The way Spielberg crafts this persnickety complexity in the film is perhaps a bit too simplistic, but again Lincoln IS the hero of Lincoln. It seems to me that Thaddeus Stevens' life and career is colorful and fascinating enough for it's own full-length film, with Tommy Lee in the role. On NPR, near the end of his interview, Mr. Levine also tries to downplay Stevens' rumored intimate relationship with his "quadroon" housekeeper, Lydia Smith. But there seems to be enough evidence to show that they were at the least "extremely close" (see Wikipedia entry for Stevens). The fact that neighbors affectionately called Lydia Smith, "Mrs. Stevens," and that Thaddeus Stevens left Lydia a large sum of money in his will, and that they were both raising the nephews of her deceased former husband ... Well, Mr. Levine's humming and hawing about Stevens and Smith on NPR seems a bit reminiscent of the knee jerk denials by numerous historians for years re Thomas Jefferson's relationship with his wife's maid, Sally Hemings (DNA evidence along with anecdotal evidence has proved beyond a reasonable doubt Jefferson's long term sexual relationship with Hemings).
I just got back from this film and my two takeaways were that I knew it was a Spielberg film in the first 5 minutes, and I had no idea that I was going to see a comedy. Lots of jokes. The most enjoyable thing about the film was identifying the actors in bit parts. As a narrative, it didn't have anywhere near the emotional impact that the music and moody lighting indicated. DDL was great though.
I saw it yesterday and thought it was very interesting. I spent part of today reading about the 13th amendment and some of the people portrayed in the film.
I did not enjoy this film. At all. It should have been called "13" or something to gear it to the 13th amendment process. Not about Lincoln at all. I did like the random bit actors. "OOOhhhh, that's the kid from Witness!!! Is that Hal Holbrook? When did Dixie die?" Unfortunately, Sally Field is no Meryl and she was uncomfortably bad. She sounded, as always, like an 1860 M'Lynn. Shelby, drink that goddamn juice! As a film, I thought it was horrible. As for DDL, his voice was too tenor. It was distracting. However I never before saw a sexual side to Abraham Lincoln. DDL brought the sex to it. When you go home and think about having sex with Abe Lincoln, SOMETHING is up. And thanks to internet buddy sites I can admit this and finish my croissant.
I'm going to have to agree with this...why do Steven Spielberg's directed films always have rather lacklustre plot development? I think the last movie he did with a not-so-phoned-in storyline was Catch Me if You Can, and that was more than 10 years ago... Interestingly, Lincoln follows the trend of biographical films taking only a brief snapshot of time to reflect on the person (i.e. "The Queen" focusing on specifically the year 1997).
