As for me, I'm waiting for the movie about National Review.
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!

I saw the movie over the weekend. I was surprised (not really) to see that the movie was largely critical of Kennedy, LBJ and the chummy relationships between newspaper leadership and the political elite. One can draw parallels between Nixon's view of the press and Trump's, but to think this movie is about Trump is silly.
It was a good movie.

And taking what you say about the chummy statement to be true, why is that a knock against this movie? Have you seen the movie?

Re: The Post
My knock against the movie is Spielberg making paralleles between then and now and calling the press “truth tellers”, when they obviously are not today. He made the movie to make the press look noble when Trump is calling them out for their complete and utter bias.ip_law-hokie wrote:I must have misinterpreted your statement that "'[t]hey won’t admit it, but it’s exactly why they made this movie."HokieHam wrote:I never thought it was about Trump.

I haven’t seen the movie. I’m sure it’s good as a movie. I like Tom Hanks work.

Meryl Streep was good too. Saul Goodman and Jesse from Breaking Bad have key roles.HokieHam wrote:My knock against the movie is Spielberg making paralleles between then and now and calling the press “truth tellers”, when they obviously are not today.

Re: The Post
I think BCS is one of the best shows on tv today. I’m hoping they decide to do a what happened to Jesse series.Saul Goodman and Jesse from Breaking Bad have key roles.
BB was just a great show and I think Vince Gilligan is the best character developer in tv right now.

Re: The Post
I just started reading Katherine the Great detailing how Katherine Graham and Ben Bradlee were firmly part of the American elite. The author describes how the book was initially scuttled by Graham, Bradlee, and other establishment figures like David Ignatius.
Far different perspective than the one perpetuated by Spielberg.

I'm not sure that it's that different Dante.
