It took as long to release this movie as it does to say the damn name
I recently read about a new Brad Pitt movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. It occurred to me that I'd heard about this movie before. Two years ago, when I still lived in Florida, I showed my husband a still picture of Brad Pitt in costume as Jesse James, circa 1880, looking quite dandy in his black suit with the long jacket of the day. Being fans of anything historic, we both said we wanted to see the movie. We soon were caught up in the activities of relocating and I forgot all about it. Until my memory bank got shaken up.
I had no idea it took so long to get a movie released. Two years? Sure, technical movies like Jaws or Titanic can be held up during both filming and in postproduction editing, but don't they just go to the hills of Bulgaria or some other remote location to shoot westerns nowadays? Is the movie pieced together? Did someone pivotal to the production suddenly pass away?
When I finally do see it, I just hope it's worth the wait.

Sounds interesting. I like Brad Pitt. He's a good actor.
Dang! Takes almost as long to get a book published.
And easy on the eyes, too, Gwyneth!
Donna, I read a quote from someone that said that if Moses were to come down off of Mount Sinai today with the ten commandments, he'd likely spend the next two or three years trying to get a publisher . . . .

I saw "3:10 to Yuma" recently. I enjoyed it so much it's whetted my appetite for more Westerns. Can't wait to see "Jesse James." I highly recommend "Yuma" if you
haven't see it already.
