4. I was 10, and I remember the moment I heard...
I'm not sure I'd want to sit thru that in a theatre... Maybe on DVD.

And I also remember JFK and MLK. I was just a kid, but I remember every moment.

5. Is Elijah Wood playing Bobby?
I don't know how I feel about that, if true...

I've just gotten whispers that Lindsay Lohan is in this...is she playing Bobby's wife?

Anyone have a synopsis or anything?

8. Whew...she's playing "Diane" and he's playing "William".
I'm okay with that, LOL. I just heard a clip of Oprah when Lindsay was on, and she was going on and on about RFK's wife, and I was like...PLEASE don't let her be playing her! So maybe she's just playing Elijah's wife?

Looks like I need to just see it, LOL.

Thanks for the IMDB link.

9. It's not a biopic. It's about FICTIONAL characters who were there in the hotel
to see RFK the night he was assassinated.

13. I think it's about the lives of the people staying at the hotel
during the time that RFK was shot.
