    Yes, but did you like the movie?

    Richard Dreyfus is Cheney.

    I loved Nixon (the movie), but then again I'm a Nixon buff.

    I don't think this is going to be as one-sided as everyone thinks. Nixon certainly had its moments where you had sympathy for the character.

    Nixon lost me when he was in on the meeting when they were plotting JFK's assassination.

  7. I would love to be excited about this movie.
    I probably would be, if I could trust the big O to stick to the facts.

    Can I on this one? I ask seriously, if there's someone out there who knows.

    This movie will be more sympathetic than liberals expect.

    and republicans, too. i saw elizabeth hasselbeck shriek on "the view" that everyone would be better off watching documentaries, clearly expecting a bush hatchet job. hasslbeck's yummy until she starts talking. yikes!

    convinced me to see it. indeed, methinksit will do well, if the reviews are any good.

    Was stunned to see Three's Company rerun that featured Cromwell. Just bizarre.
    Looking forward to see Scott Glenn as Rumsfeld and Robb Cordrey as Ari Fleisher.

    Did Primary Colors start this much of a ruckus?
    As for this movie, I'd be surprised if it does $30 million. Nobody is going to want to pay $10 to see what they already believe in their mind. But you might want to check out "Silver City," a John Sayles film with Chris Cooper playing the Bush stand-in and Michael Murphy as his pappy.

    I think this will do business.

    I wouldn't be surprised if an executive order banning its release came from the Oval Office.
