The Reagans hooplah

[Boris Godunov]

Okay, after all the fuss, I finally saw the movie on Showtime.

All I have to say is:

What the @#$^%*&! was the problem with the Republicans? This film is perhaps the best propaganda piece for Reagan you could have! It makes him a tragic hero of near-Shakespearian proportions. I was liking the guy after the movie!

Seriously, the movie is actually pretty good, and I think it's pretty flattering to the Reagans. Sure, it shows them as less-than-perfect, but they are human, aren't they? If anything, its inaccuracies were in Reagan's favor, as ANY bad aspect of his political career was presented as a well-intentioned man being manipulated and misled by the people who surrounded him.

Brolin's performance, btw, was brilliant. I mean, he IS Reagan in the movie. I can only think he'd be destined for an Emmy if it weren't for the whine-fest from the GOP.

I wanted to see it, but I don't have Showtime, so chances are slim.

Don't ya think this may have turned some Republicans off... especially the ones who surrounded Reagan?

And how about the statements indicating Reagan wanted all the gays to die?

But Boris, this is the REASON why some Republicans wanted to cow the producers into censorship.

I'm a Republican, though I have never seen it, I always enjoy poorly made, made for TV movies that misconstrue political or even public figures in a bad light, even if I like that figure... Martha Stewart, David Letterman come to mind (I hate Martha, but that TV movie was still funny)... They should of aired it... Don't blame the republican for it not getting on, blame the Jews they own media after all

I'd think that this would improve his chances for an emmy. Aren't the communists or hippies or Barbara Streisand or something like that in charge of the media?

NO YOU LIBERAL HIPPY TRAITOR SLIME! HE IS GOD!

because that's all the GOP does... they are scared ****less! They are scared that consensual adults might want to make their own decisions when it come to sexual matters... DEAR GOD NO WE MUST MAKE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR MARRIAGE!@

They are scared people might not believe their bull**** propaganda about Reagan... OH GOD PERHAPS A DECADE OF THE RICH GETTING RICHER AND EVERYONE ELSE STAGNATING WASN'T THE GREATEST SITUATION!@!!

They are scared that they are losing their grip on society... that's why they've taken over the mass media and use political pressure to attack dissenting opinions or anything else they don't like. If someone wants to make a dramatization of Reagan's presidency... THEN WE WILL ACCUSE THEM OF WANTING TO DESTROY THE MAN BECAUSE BARABARA STREISAND IS A LIBERAL PINKO COMMIE WACKO AND HER HUSBAND MIGHT AS WELL BE STALIN!#%^#$

DIE LIEBARLS!!@!$^#$%&^%&%^

ahh I feel better now!

[Japher]
