Sometimes the past doesn’t want to be changed!
School teacher Jake Epping, (James Franco), travels back in time to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy, thinking that the world would have been a better place had Kennedy not been killed. However, he finds that easier said than done due to a myriad of obstacles and misfortunes, most notably, the past itself. Jake quickly learns that the past pushes back against being changed.

We’re back after an expected hiatus due to travel and health issues (non the least of which were James’ cuticles).

- The book is pretty messed up, how he reads anything out of it is a mystery.
- A tighty whitey fight ensues much to Laura’s chagrin.
- DO THEY NOT HAVE MINIBARS IN THE 1960s!?
Horrible scars on the kids back, possibly abused.- $100 for a ride and not getting shot, woot! (How many pieces of pie could you buy with that?)
Daly Plaza seems like deserted ghost town.

General Walker Rally
- The connection between Oswald and Walker has us all befuddled
- Oswald really doesn’t like General Walker
- If Walker is against Kennedy, why would Oswald want to kill Walker and Kennedy?
- I did find a bit of broadcast video of Oswald speaking with press that was published by CNN. He says charged, sir, protested and representation with what appears to be very little trouble. I have no experience with analysis of speaking so I will say no further about the way in which he pronounces words. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jY8fRTLtgzA
- The actor who plays Oswald, Daniel Webber, is from the city of Gosford, New South Wales, Australia. My wife tells me that non-rhotic accents (accents in which the “r” gets dropped if there’s a vowel before it but not after it) are common in Australian English. She thinks that the accent in question is all the actor, not the character he portrays. She also listened to a radio broadcast of Oswald because she had the same question and she said she couldn’t hear any trace of a non-rhotic accent in Oswald’s speech.
- “We had no idea he was Australian,” Springborn said. “He embodied Lee so well. It was so bizarre — he had the right body language, look…even his eye movements. You rarely see that”
