Reclaiming Parkland

[Karl Kinaski]

It is like a punch in the face of serious historical scholarship.

Oh, boy. What a stinker.

What a steaming pile of BS.

What with that screaming guy saying we had Oswald in our office ten days ago.

Who was that supposed to be?

This actually looks even worse than the script I critiqued in my book.

I imagine it's the scene where Hosty is ordered to tear up the note Oswald brought to the FBI office.


Totally off topic, but I'm so tired of movies and trailers that use all these whooshing and booming sounds every few seconds. I guess it's supposed to add drama, but I feel like I'm being psychologically programmed.

Helpful Bob, providing the Backyard camera

Colin Hanks--nepotism can't save this turkey

This wasn't supposed to happen--au contraire: many witnesses died and much evidence went into the memory hole precisely so this would happen

From the deep state which brought you the whooshing and booming spectacular of 2001

But Tracy, that scene never happened as depicted. Did you read Hosty's book?

I agree that they have tried to jazz up the trailer with editing and sound effects since the cinematics look anemic compared to STone's movie.

Yes, I read Hosty's book. I'm just saying that the scene must be depicting the note episode; yes, the dialogue is invented and exagerrated, as most of the film probably is. I'll be disappointed if they don't include a flashback scene with Marina locking Lee in the bathroom so he can't kill Nixon. Oh, and hijacking a plane to Cuba with his pregnant gun moll wife.

Damn, you know I just noticed that 5,718 people have left reviews on Amazon for O'Reilly's book on Lincoln. Seriously? Does he have his friends, family and co-workers all go on and leave fake reviews or something?

Beats me why they let him out of the sheltered workshop at all.

I just noticed this.

Well, its not quite that many, its about 4,700 some.

But see, this is what a prime time spot on TV plus radio does for you and your crappy book.

When the reviews were back in the hundreds and were actually legitimate reviews, that is people reading the book and saying it was good or bad, the negatives started catching up with the positives. Well, someone told Bill O. He got on his TV show and begged his listeners not to let this happen. And therefore all these positive reviews of this crappy book started to appear. I mean what a joke.

[Jim DiEugenio]

Anyway, to get back on track, the hardcover jacket of my book is done.

I got blurbs from David Talbot, Cyril Wecht, Stone, and John Newman, and a front one from Jesse Ventura.

We almost had Belzer. But I am glad we got those five.

Preface by Lisa Pease and Intro by Bill Davy.

It heads to the printers this week.

let us hope it beats the movie into the bookstores.

No, it's 5,746 now, according to the Amazon page I'm looking at (the Lincoln book, not JFK, all reviews, not just the positive ones).
I've never seen a book on Amazon with that many reviews. Even The Power of Now (1800 reviews) and The Secret (3,300 reviews) aren't in the same league, and those were huge sellers for years.
