One of histories greatest monsters. He ratted out fellow actors during the red scare. Real POS.

fawning celebration of its subject
That’s all I needed to hear to know that it’s bad.

I haven’t seen the movie or read anything about it.
But the writer also wrote a sequel to God’s Not Dead, if that gives any indication of where this sits on the reality/lunatic spectrum of right wing shithousery.

And Reagan was the worst president of all time.

I know there’s the argument that “Reagan lead to Trump”, but I don’t think that’s particularly applicable. Also, Reagan’s “legacy” as it where has had 40 some years to really seep in. Trump has only had 8, and even in just those 8 he’s at the very least giving Reagan a run for his money.

I HAAAATE biopics about recent history. It’s not entertainment. Doesn’t matter if red or blue tinged it’s still trash because the story needs to be “interesting” instead of the horrifying truth:
There is only power. And those who desire power above anything else.
And people who want other things. The rest is just window dressing.- Blackmist ( @Blackmist@feddit.uk ) English5•15 days ago
If Aaron Sorkin wrote it, I’ll let it be.
This ain’t that though.

I’m sort of fine with fictional shows like The White House which are basically fantasy. I also like cop shows even though I know they are basically cop propaganda, it’s just the justice fantasy and solving crimes is fun. As long as they don’t muddle the water with recent real events.

For cop shows
Play a drinking game
When ever a DA or leo talk about or actually violate someone’s rights
Drink
When probable cause & warrants, give way to exigent circumstances
Drink Cops are lazy & or overworked
Bonus round are people within the episode seeking rehabilitation, justice or retribution
Retribution
Drink

I wonder if they include the conversation between Reagan and Nixon where Reagan called black people “monkeys.”
Or the Lee Atwater quote where he talks about his strategic use of dog whistles and starts it off by saying the N-word three times.
Man, Reagan sucked.

But is it worse than the Johnny Lingo reboot from the Mormon church?
- originalucifer ( @originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com ) 4•15 days ago
i cant imagine its worse than the crow reboot. i could barely get through the trailer. even borderlands was tolerable.

There was a prequel to The Crows Have Eyes 3: The Crowening?
- Strocker89 ( @Strocker89@beehaw.org ) 3•13 days ago
That’s appropriate because Reagan is the worst in every year.

Goddammit, there are three actors that I genuinely enjoy that are in this movie, and while I would like to think they just did it for a paycheque and aren’t into MAGA bullshit, I’m not naive enough to believe it. Dennis Quaid, Penelope Ann Miller and Amanda Righetti why???
- chemicalprophet ( @chemicalprophet@lemm.ee ) 2•14 days ago
That’s quite an accomplishment with 2 or 3 MCU offerings on the table.
