I haven't watched the Civil War in a while, I'm guessing Burns' format seems formulaic by now. Shelby Foote was a pretty damn great resource to involve, if I recall.

From knowing absolutely nothing about it, I rather enoyed the Ken Burns "Civil War" thing; then I watched that semi-documentary "Sherman's March", which made a nice pairing.

PTA is on WTF this week. Great interview. I didn't know he was married to Maya Rudolph. He studied with David Foster Wallace as well. The Pynchon questions/responses are priceless. I was surprised by how friendly and open and generous he was.

Not yet. Stupid Netflix skipped over it in my queue. But I may rent it tonight depending upon how much I want to get drunk tonight.
