"Reads somewhat like a detective novel so far. Fun concept for steampunk-y like vehicles. I'm excited for all the political detail and maneuvering in exports, trade, and manufacturing, guilds and unions." — Nov 20, 2025 12:27PM

"Joe Kennedy being responsible in wooing two of his son's brides as they were; the intense galvanizing of brothers for greater change and influence in culture stemming from JFK'S assassination; a sad childhood of Ted being different, less competitive, less acceptable in fitness, being body shamed, being more sensitive, being teased by his parents and having to live up to his brothers' reputation when not built that." — Nov 13, 2025 04:55PM

“I feel that one of the reasons I enjoy having films that are historical or revisionist history or a period film is because I think it's one of the things that cinema can do best. It can do it [well] in two areas. One is that you can recreate the past in a movie and present it in a fictional way, because we know what it looked like. And the second reason is, by having time pass, you can examine the truth about something that happened in the past, because you've been able to look at it through the prism of time.”
