I didn't see it yet. I like the original ok, but figured I'd save the remake for DVD. The only movies I've seen in a theater in the last year are No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood, which I'm still thinking about so I can post something in the movie thread.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Incidentally, I think In The Night Kitchen is utterly delightful.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm in the milk and the milk's in me!

Is there an alternate history writer whose works are based on a world where the south didn't lose the civil war but which take place more recently than 1916?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Harry Turtledove, maybe? Most of his stuff seems to start with the South winning the war, but I'm not sure how many of those make it past WWI.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think at least some of Turtledove's work did, but I can't remember any titles.

My Dad and I were discussing how the world wars (especially world war 2) would have been different had the south won the civil war. Now I want to read a story that takes place in that world... maybe I'll have to write it myself.

Isn't there a movie with that premise? I want to say The Confederate States of America ? Maybe?

This movie looks very interesting. Not exactly what I was looking for but I'm gonna have to check it out. I'm going to look up Turtledove too. Thanks, guys.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I know I read a short story that had, no, the North still won but won faster so the US wasn't so war-weary after and entered WWI earlier. And then there was time-travel. Good story, I wish I could remember the title.
