if Stone really is going in the doonsberry (or even Mallard Fillmore) direction of broad political satire, I'm on board, if it's more along his Nixon line,I could sit it out

However I can't see stone pulling that off, he's pretty untested in intentional comedy let alone something that broad, but I'd love to be proven wrong

on a compeltely unrelated side note, I work at a hotel in Kansas and met a lady that was a set designer on the movie, had a nice little conversation with her

I don't know you dude, but this is like the 3rd Talkback I've seen you in and in everyone you've been a dick, if you're trying to be funny, well it's not, if you're a troll well congrats

I'm not seeing it with the posters I have to say. There's understated and then there's lazy.

Gives a bit more of a feel for the main cast rather than just Dubya.

Then again the Presedential years aren'y going to be the entire film.

as for your transgendered comments, I thought they were just kinda classless don't really have an opinon one way or another on cccchhhrrrrriiiissssmmm's story

anyways sorry for being a doucebag asshat myself, truce?

There's certainly no Law preventing anyone doing a Clinton film.

So instead of constantly whining and kvetching and bitching about the guy, blaming Clinton for the past 8 years, why not actually get someone from the right to DO a Movie about him ?

There must be some Republican out there who can work a camera and knows how to write a script surely ? I'm also fairly sure FOX News would be only too delighted to fund such an enterprise.

I still think all this bickering is pointless unless there's going to be blood. Battle Rotale style with partisan corners and no rules and no holds barred. Kick a liberals ass! Kick a conservative's ass! And you'll be a rock star!!!!

Forgot about Primary Colours though the book is far better.

And I don't give a shit if they make a hatchet job about Clinton. By all means "bring it on". It would still prove amusing.

Clinton would also still have handed Bush his ass in 2000 if he was able to run since he left the job with pretty high approval ratings despite the blow job from tubby.

And that article concedes there may just be a rational explanation for the lack of DVD that doesn't involve the Clintons Machiavellian hand stifling the Networks though it does mean you would have to believe in something called the free market.

"From our standpoint, it had many hours of broadcast time, so it was exposed. It's not like it was stifled and no one heard it," said Adam Somers, executive director of PEN Center USA in Culver City. "In our opinion, it was a business decision by Disney. You have to assume if Disney thought they'd make money, they'd release it."

A far fetched conspiracy indeed!

And I'm sure there WILL be a Movie about Clinton in the White House sooner or later.

There's just too much in there ripe for a Movie even apart from the grand farce of Monica.

I think I'll rewatch Nixon this weekend as I haven't seen that in a while either.

I think you have laid claim on the Delusional title with far more force than me with that little bit of Clinton Paranoia Morbid.

And want to know how long it took me to find a Torrent of the film on the internets ? Less than 10 seconds. So it's hardly been wiped from the pages of History in a Stalin like Purge.

But like I said before, Nice Try.

If there really is such a huge demand for your little Movie then the course of action is clear.

An internet petition that would show the Company the demand for a DVD release is really out there and not just imaginary.

It's happened before for quite a few TV productions and because you think this is such a crucial matter of free speech why don't you start one and contact the disgruntled "masses" you claim are demanding it ?

You still don't seem to have grasped the point though.

Despite it's fairly obvious problems with accuracy. It was aired. It was aired WORLDWIDE. It wasn't banned and not everything gets released to DVD anyway.

If that seems like repetition it's simply because I can see you really enjoy that sort of thing by parroting what I've already said at least twice.

And Kudos for comparing the Senate to Stalin because some irate Dem Senators sent a letter to ABC over innacuracies. You clearly aren't delusional in the slightest.

To quote "someone" from earlier in this thread "It'll be hard to top that as a moronic moment on this talkback."

Job Done Morbid.

But no doubt you can tell us when the Dems in the Senate had Millions of Political opponents executed and Millions sent to Gulags and have wiped out whole pages of History in a Stalin like Purge ?

And Reid DID send a letter to Walt Disneys CEO, as can anyone else who feels they have a problem with any programme they transmit. Quoting the communications act is hardly fucking Stalin Morbid but by all means keep getting worked up into a fury because there isn't a DVD release of this one Movie that had a problem with accuracy.

Personally I don't give really care if it does get released to DVD. It's really not that important.

I admit though that if you get this worked up over a DVD release then I can't wait to see how foaming at the mouth you and FOX and Friends become when W gets released.

It's good to see that some strereotypes about Loyal Bushies still hold.

(That means you were wrong BTW in case it sailed over your head like so much else has.)

A complete state of Denial about the world around you, childishly blaming Clinton for everything and Pretending Bush isn't a complete Liability.

You and the Loyal Bushies redefine what it is to be wrong Morbid.

YES, they did. It was through Disney's CEO rather than ABC so if that is your level of anal quibbling well done, but the letter was sent and it was undersigned by Reid AND several other Dems.

You said "Harry Reid himself threatened ABC's broadcasting license while demanding edits that the Clintons wanted made to a film."

Was that in a letter to the CEO of Disney or not ? True or False ?

"That's as close as the Senate's ever gotten to Stalin"

YES, you clearly are batshit insane at this point, but leaving that aside.. Does a letter undersigned by Senators even signed by the Majority Leader of the Senate, to a corporation have any actual Legal power to compell or demand action ? YES or NO ?

It was a letter dipshit. Not a fucking Senatorial Committee.

Anyone can write to any TV CEO and remind them of their obligations to accuracy in regard to the communications act. TRUE or FALSE ?

Seriously exactly what kind of STUPENDOUS power do you imagine Harry Reid has ? He certainly hasn't done very much in the senate.

Do you REALLY think anyone apart from idiot Loyal Bushies are cowering in terror from a figure of such unbridled menace and authority as Harry Reid ????

You need to lie down in a dark room for a while Morbid as your impotent fury at the Dems has clearly gotten the better of your admittedly tenuous grasp of reality.

Nobody gives a shit about this DVD release except furious wingnuts and Loyal Bushies.

And nobody but a foaming at the mouth hysterical loon could possibly think Harry Reid is some kind of Stalinist bogey man.

Seriously, it must be quite stressfull being the kind of embarrassing anal asshat that would be so unbelievably desperate as to try to deflect questions with such utterly irrelevant and pathetic trivia.

And believe me I'm laughing my ass off at your feeble attempts to dodge the questions while you frantically try to downplay your HILARIOUS brainfart comparing Harry Reid and the Senate to Stalin.

But Please keep it up.

As your protestations that you aren't outraged simply don't match up to your obsessive fury and frankly certifiable babbling about Stalin and the Senate over what is, lets face it, an inconsequential film that simply hasn't been released to DVD.

If only you could feel such outrage at the colossal deficit, the ruined economy and the Lies about the War and the disasterous occupation ?

Never mind. I'm 100% sure the public haven't forgotten about those things come November.

Or better still you could always scan the talkbacks for typos and incorrectly placed commas.

Or is it a relative non-issue that desperate wingnuts cling to in the face of the collapsed and corruption-ridden Republican Party, especially now in the sunset days of Bush's reign (and Obama's ascension)?

But don't mind Morbid. He continues to think the economy is fine (it helps to read news about yesterday's stats and ignore current trends and conditions) and is looking forward to Inglorious Bastards to fulfill his Israeli commando fantasy that Zohan fell just shy of doing.

By the way, if anyone listens to NPR, I hope you caught the hilarious interview with Douglas Feith where he attempts to salvage Rumsfeld's legacy by suggesting that Donald had "reservations" about going to war. Oh, he got ripped apart pretty elegantly by the interviewer - lesson is, if you wanna spin the news media, do it with the MSM. Don't pull shit with NPR, because they know they's shit.

Nah ...

It's understandable that this escapes Morbid's comprehension, as he's incapable of making a point.

Oh. Wait. -- Bush is busy joking around with Vladimir "Pooty Poot" Putin and slapping Misty May's (nice) ass.

Republicans. It's a wonder this country has survived them this long.

That's some funny shit, right there.

McCain, confront Putin? I suppose that's a fucking given, considering one of his campaign guys is the head of the fucking Georgian lobby. Sure. I smell fallout on the wind, no fucking doubt, and Watchmen is going to be a spectacular film because of it.

W. looks like a regular 'Hey, look, this guy was a fucking misbegotten son of a rich fuck that you elected, and now he's gone.'

Bush did coke, dodged the fucking war, and did whatever the fuck he wanted because he was rich. Just like you'd do if you were rich, and just like I'd probably do if I were rich. What's appalling is that he didn't have the common decency to just stay in the fucking private sector. He had to go and impress his worthless, dickless old man. Go America!

Which is why it fell upon, of all countries, France to broker a peace. Bush is a lame duck whose lame duckness has unfortunately rubbed off on our foreign policy standing. Which is why John McCain would be a disaster, towing the Bush/NeoCon line until the country's back is finally broken.

Hate to break the news to our wingnut compadres, but Obama is our best chance at redemption and correction. I'd be interested in being convinced otherwise, but I doubt anyone here can put up a valid argument to the contrary.
