Over the weekend I watched a miniseries based upon the Kennedy family. For those of you reading that may not know too much about the Kennedy's basically its the family of former American president, John F Kennedy. There have been many movies based upon them some of which I have not seen because frankly they didn't interest me, but this one, called " The Kennedy's" caught my eye for a couple reasons.
One, because it was supposed to be on a different network, but for what ever the reason it was too controversial for them.
Second were the actors and actress's. Great cast. I am not going to name them, but if you want to see it, I recommend getting the dvd, because the cast alone was suberb.
One of the reasons I guess I have not seen movies based upon either JFK or his family is because you don't whats real. As it happend with politics, so many storys surface about a political figure that you don't know whats real and what isn't. And I think when it comes to JFK and his assination once again you get so many stories that you don't whats real and what isn't.
I have never been one for conspiracy theories mostly because they are way too out landish. You get something that has happend in either American or world history more often than not some one is going to have a hypothesis about it and it might be so far out of no where that you have to tell them to shut up because they're simply talking out of their asse's.
Pardon the language.
I dont have an hypothesis on the JFK assination, but I will say this: It's sad that he didn't get the oppertunity of one: finishing his presidency and two: living out the rest of his life and watching both his children and grandchildren grow up.
Enough said.
The Wedding of Prince William and Cate Middleton is coming in about a week and I personally can not wait.
Till it's over and televison and just about everybody on can stop going overboard with it.
But it is television and they dont know how to leave anything alone till they bleed it dry. Personally, I find it pathedeic.Televison does not have to go to the extremes they are going to when it comes to these two. There are cable channels that are having "specials" on the wedding.
There is even a made for tv movie on how they first met in the works.
All of this is uncalled for. Now, don't me wrong, I have alot of respect for the Royal family, They have their place in both American and world history just like the Kennedy's. I just feel that they are going way too far with this whole wedding thing.
I won't be watching it.
I have always felt that a wedding ceremony should be kept a little private. Invite your family your friends and all that. But don't have it televised. Hate to break it to you but the whole world isn't interested that you're getting married. Half of the world's population don't really care about William & Cate's so they won't care about your's or mine. (when and if it happens.)
Leave your wedding private. Don't plaster it for the whole known universe to see it because it's just damn annoying.
I am going to do something I have not done in a while. I am going to give a suggestion on a film. Hope you get the chance to watch it.
The film is called "JFK" and it was directed by Accademy Award winning director Oliver Stone (Platoon) and star's Kevin Costner amongst other's. Its a great film and with out giving it away, it can get a little slow when it starts to bring up theorys of how who and why they killed him.
But, none the less, a great film.
I also recommend the Kennedy Miniseries I made reference to earlier.
Look for it on dvd. Its really good.
