It was in a time traveling drama on tv I saw the other night. Got me thinking about where in the play he got shot. I guess I should have blurred _sockdologizing_. To think that was the funniest line in the whole play. ---

> [@Kzbre5m](#): > > Don’t know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal — you sockdologizing old man-trap. I was trying to remember where I heard that line. After it was answered here, I remembered: I heard it delivered by an actor recreating the scene on the stage of Ford’s Theater. This was in 2004, and it was, up until that time, at least, the only time the assassination had been reenacted in Ford’s. Believe it or not, it was for a student film, using an IMAX camera, and because Ford’s didn’t let them use the actual presidential box, they filmed in the one on the other side of the theater, and then reversed the film. As a result, all the papers used in the film, programs, sheet music, etc., were printed in reverse. They had dozens of Civil War and other historical reenactors dressed up in period clothes for the audience, and [Jeffrey DeMunn](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0218810/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) played Lincoln. During the meal break, I sat at his table, and had a nice conversation. (One of my great regrets is that at the time I didn’t remember that he played the serial killer in [_Citizen X_](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112681/?ref_=nm_flmg_c_65_act), an absolutely spectacular performance. So I didn’t have a chance to tell him how great I thought he was.) This was also the first and only time I have seen a movie armorer at work on a set. I was quite impressed with how seriously and professionally the use of the gun was handled, and the experience has given me a bit of insight in the discussion of the tragic _Rust_ incident. It was quite a production. ---

It was on TCM late last night. I stumbled on it completely by accident. It was like watching a second-season episode of _ **Star Trek** _. **Nitpick:** The term they used was “mutani.” ---
