I don't think I'll be able to ever watch Gods and Generals. Just caught a few minutes and Jeff Daniels is already destroying Chamberlain as I read him in Killer Angels, and the fact that C. Thomas Howell is playing his not-so-young younger brother really is what killed any prospect of enjoyment.
Chamberlain as written by Michael Sharra had me head over heels. Jeff Daniels goofiness doesn't quite match the philosophical musings and contemplativeness of Chamberlain's chapters.
See, I liked him in both Gettysburg and Gods and Angels.

Now the live action is being merged with CG animation and motion-capture creatures, and then transferred into 3-D.

Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen
Is the Red Queen a motion-capture creature? Her body looks distorted.
It looks like either mo-cap or some sort of hybrid of mo-cap and live.
Juliebird (and Scrappy, and anyone else), if you want to see Jeff Daniels portray a well-known historical figure in what I think is a just-about-perfect performance, watch The Crossing (usually seen on History Channel or Biography around July 4 or Christmas), where he plays Washington during the whole crossing-the-Delaware and Battle of Trenton. He is terrific in the part--in charge, beseiged by Brits and Hessians opposing him in the field and backstabbing Yank generals opposing him in camp, and yet able to crack a joke about Henry Knox not swamping the boat during the river crossing.

Who knew that Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter would look like Madonna?
Hmmm....now I may have to convince the DH to go as the Mad Hatter for Halloween, so I can go as the Queen of Hearts. Nifty costumes and makeup! (DH will no doubt prefer to be Chris Lee/Jabberwock)
