I’m currently tuned in to Sherman’s March<\/i> on the Discovery Times channel. What I expected was another retrospective on the Civil War (a topic I never tire of). And, what was described on DTMS’s website was: “Ross McElwee sets out to make a film about Northern Civil War General W. Tecumseh Sherman. While retracing Sherman’s 19th century march through the South, McElwee begins to shift his camera lens onto a succession of Southern women he meets along the way.”<\/p>\n
What an understatement! NO – what a pervasion! Transcribed from my DirectTV online guide: “Filmmaker Ross McElwee meets eight women in an odyssey subtitled ‘A Meditation on the Possibility of Romantic Love in the South During an Era of Nuclear Weapons Proliferation.'”<\/p>\n
Now he’s at a girl’s school – what he calls “the cradle of southern womanhood.” Ick!<\/p>\n
Oh, my fuckin’ gawd! I might be more receptive to this if it was presented honestly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
