“Reagan” is a one-man play that doesn’t portray the 40th president as a fascist. It’s by Lionel Chetwynd, whose scripts for television and film include “The Hanoi Hilton,” “Color of Justice,” “Kissinger and Nixon” and “DC 9/11: Time of Crisis.”
"Ahhh. Fictional work. Poetic license. Requires suspension of disbelief."
Reagan's entire career was a series of fictions, so I can't see any problem with making up bullshit about him now that he's not around to do it himself.
Now some of you will say that "Confidence trickster believes his own amnesiac confabulations & is elevated to power by credulous crowd" is a worn-out dramatic trope. But give the scriptwriter a chance to do something new with it, sez I.
Lights come up. We see RR in rocking chair dozing. He snorts wakes up. RR: Fine day in December before I marry you... Sees audience RR:How the heckination did you all get in here? Why are you looking at me?This is like them movies I was in 'cept it wasn't really me on the stage. Fooled me for a while until I tried to give me an orange. Voices off: "Who we invadin' today Ronnie?" RR: I do like a Grenadier orange Voices off: "Right you are"
Oh we can't purge a fetus Or some hellhound will eat us As a sin it sits at number one But try to plug a sinner And you'll be in jail by dinner Oh you can't shoot a doc with a gun
Nearly as scary as Bon Jovi is that large banner at the top of TV guide: mormon.org.
The LDS zombies are coming! The LDS zombies are coming!
Serio, I have a few trolling my site, and blogs I post at. They find out you're not LDS, or even baptick type, and.......you're LAMANITE-meat, man. Sort of given "to be x'ed on Jubilee Day" or something on their genealogy tables, when the Nephites finally enact the great City of Stuckeys.

ReplyDeleteIt has always seemed a no-brainer to me that a positive telling of the Ronald Reagan story would be a hugely popular hit.
I'll give Big Ho this much: they do know their audience.

"Entertainment" can be like that. But sometimes an author will just make too great a stretch...
Capcha seems to think I'm a dodu
And why no Chris Muir shows in Soho?
ReplyDeleteEeeeeeeeeeek there are some weird scenes in the Bug-eyed Hollywood Goldmine when it's comments time for the Chris Muir fetish picture.
ReplyDeleteAllow me to reference Transformers & Chris Muir w/ this.

Word Verif. sez: "alame" No shit. Crippled, even.
