As most of you know....I'm a history geek, and I tend to get into these 'what-if' situations. What if.....had selected someone other than Lewis and Clark for the grand expedition? What if....President McKinney had never been shot and Teddy Roosevelt never rose to anything beyond VP? What if Babe Ruth had stayed with the Red Sox, as a pitcher....not a slugger?
In a few months.....a nifty movie will be released....Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer. Naturally, in this movie, Abe has a great axe and demonstrates various physical skills that go beyond the normal legend of Abe Lincoln. He kills vampires left and right.
I realize I will be getting cursed by history freaks over this....but I'd like to see more movies in this sort of tradition. There's no reason why we couldn't have George Washington falling in love with a France hottie, and dumping Martha. We could sit through a two-hour piece where Andy and Barney take on a freak-show circus mafia group and whoop up on a bunch of bad guys. We might all enjoy Mickey Mantle on a marlin-fishing episode, and falling in love with Marilyn Monroe. Toss in Tarzan taking on a village of Zombies, with the help of a dozen guerrillas.
