…Actually, it's funny you ask. A friend of mine in New York has been in research and writing a screenplay about the life of Andrew Jackson. I can tell he's quite enthused about the poject as he has spoken to me about it in the past. He said with films like FROST/NIXON and the JOHN ADAMS miniseries on HBO the climate is just right for Andrew Jackson, a man who was at the the same time both honorable and controversial – a true human being, I suppose…

…anyway, he's in the process of writing it, although I don't know the title. Keep your eyes peeled for it – he is a good writer.

Mister Hand is too modest to let you know that he's well aware Andrew Jackson was played by Charlton Heston (and the role of Jackson's wife was played by Susan Hayward) in The President's Lady 1953.

Action Jackson was a fascinating figure in American history. He has a whole era named after him. My first point was that when trying to glorify a man like Old Hickory, close attention should be paid to his moral and ethical shortcomings so the audience can get a real picture and not some idealistic representation.
In today's political climate, one could only hope for our Democratic congress to have half the testicular fortitude Jackson had in regards in getting policies passed and issues addressed.

Hugh Laurie would be kick ass.

Hugh Laurie be great, but he might scoff at working with the cane…he deals with that already on House and has complained about it before.

I would love to see a biopic on Jackson, he is both fascinating and appalling.

Jackson was an insane person. Half of his presidency makes him the best leader we've had, the other half makes him a murderous bigot. He reminds me of Robert Fure.

And good call with Hugh Laurie.

I'm about halfway through the book, American Lion, and it's great so far. I'd love to see this made into a movie; it's got action, love, drama–but it also tells the story of a great man who makes good and bad decisions for the love of his country.

In Worcester v. Georgia, the Supreme Court ruled that Native American nations were essentially sovereign nations dependent upon the federal government, and, as such, only the federal government had authority over them. Therefore, two missionaries imprisoned by the State of Georgia for living with Native Americans without a license had to be released as state law could not prevail on Native American lands.

Jackson responded with an extended middle finger and said, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" For all intents and purposes, Andrew Jackson told the Supreme Court of the United States to go f*ck themselves. I think this little story makes the point of both Mister Hand and Jack Sux at the same time.
