Re: Costner as Garrison and Oldman as Oswald -

See, if it'd been me making that movie I would've cast them the other way around. But what do I know?

(Just try to imagine Oldman as Garrison, ranting that EEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVERRRRRRYYOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!! offed Kennedy, though...)

And just to note, we just passed the 39th anniversary of my old home town's slogan: "Aside from that, Mrs. Kennedy, what do you think of Dallas?" (The slogan generally used these days by the Dallas Chamber of Commerce, "When there's no more room in Hell, the dead will go SHOPPING!", isn't official. Yet.)

That particular version does date from the mid-1990s, and it's the version that has gotten wide exposure and generated all of the imitations and variations.

However, I saw at least one similar doctoring of that image on a telephone-pole-affixed band flyer in Dallas in the mid-1980s. I don't have a photo of it, but I'm betting some record of that might exist somewhere.

After I saw Stone's "JFK" with Kevin Costner as Garrison and Gary Oldman as Lee Harvey, I was convinced that Oswald acted alone. Ba-boom.

Incidentally, that would actually be "Live in 1963".

yes, done and redone, but, correct, done first here by mahlberg.

most people saw it first in an issue of wired, circa 1996. there are many many copies of that wired image, scanned, retouched to remove the page crease (which it crossed), and mahlberg's attribution removed, which is sad. :(

i'd like to think that this image began the time we are in now, the golden age of photoshopping.

I must admit, I did bust a gut laughing at this first time I saw it, back in '96 or so. But I think it ages well.

apparently, his is the originator. A better link would have been to here, I think. Lord, when DID I first see this? '96? maybe.

Monster photoshop cliche. Done and Redone and redone a million times by Farkers and SAers and every other owner of a warez'd copy of Photoshop.

Sorry....
