Rock Hudson - My Own Reassessment

Slapdash Method ·

2025/05/18

Send us a text Ive never thought much about Rock Hudson one way or another. I don't dislike him as an actor, but I never considered him to be a very skilled actor. Recently, I saw two of his films that changed my mind. Unfortunately, both films failed badly upon release, they never got much of an audience, and so, like me, the public never got to see Hudson get some great material to work with.

2025/05/03

Send us a text The Corwin Amendment was offered to the southern states before Civil War hostilities really got going, in an effort to keep the United States together, and would have enshrined the constitutional right to own slaves in perpetuity. The House of Representatives passed it, the Senate passed it, and it went to the states for ratification but the southern states, feeling very confident they would win the war quickly, instead continued with secession activity.
