Matthew Broderick and the movies

What a hoot I had with my satellite last night! Matthew Broderick occasionally makes a good, serious movie, “Godzilla” is not among them. He was much better as Col. Robert Gould Shaw opposite Denzel Washington in “Glory”. I worked on that movie. I think he had a lot more fun working on “Godzilla” with Jean Reno. I can’t blame him; I too, would like a day off from the fields of the creative, and he’s a star. Broderick is an informed actor, and turns in an occasional starring role. Well, we all need day off. I had more fun riding Confederate horses against him. You died beautifully on the Savannah beach, Matthew. I wept when I saw the young commander going out to die. Morgan Freeeman's role is based on a guy named Crawley, in case you didn’t know it. He was the first African-American “can we spell black?” to win the Medal; he was shot five times including in the head during the assault on Fort Wagner, but brought back the Stars and Stripes. That earns a salute from any Confederate.

It's my country's flag, and it belongs to us depraved Southern boys as much as you Yankees. You may be "them damn Yankees" but you're my Yankees, and I'll defend you to death.
