Good for Patti Davis for speaking out against Will Ferrell's pathetic endeavor.

[Sasparilla]

Is Mr. Feral moving to Canada when Trump wins? Maybe he could do a comedy about Bill Clinton’s sex life next.

I am producing a comedy with Al Jolson playing a queer president of the United States - guess which one? Funny, right?

[DoughtyOne]

For once in my life, I agree with Patti.

[AmusedBystander]

Too bad she wouldn’t support him while he was living.

[Nifster]

Indeed

And in that letter there seemed to be a lot of warmth for her father. Time heals

[jazusamo]

Same here.

When you have someone like Davis speaking out like this (given her own very liberal views), you know how very selfish ones like Ferrell and anyone else involved in this movie really are. At least when Reagan himself was in office, you could at least go and watch movies like “Top Gun” or “Witness” or “The Natural” or “Bull Durham” or “Field of Dreams” or “Working Girl” and be entertained without having perverted liberal ideology rammed down your throat.

Maureen was always my favorite. Things would be very different were she here now. God bless the Reagans.

A bit off topic and in no way referring to Reagan, but I've only recently learned from issues with my father that elderly men are often mis-diagnosed with Alzheimers and Dementia when their problem is actually from a Urinary Tract Infection.

Really messes with their minds.

Women know when they have a UTI, but elderly men often don't.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Liberals are truly evil and reprehensible. A comedy about Reagan and Alzheimer’s?? Really??? This is a fit subject for comedy???

Hollywood idiots are truly bottom feeders of the earth.

[Michael.SF.]

AGREED!!

[Labyrinthos]

Another reason why I haven’t been to a movie theater since the last century.

[jazusamo]

Agreed, well said.

[digger48]

The first Lion King with my young daughter who is now 31 was the last theater go for me.

[OttawaFreeper]

That’s an interesting observation. I had a cousin who passed away in December (aged 80) and he had dementia but he also had a urinary tract infection that was diagnosed last fall and played a role in the significant decline in his health at the time. Maybe it was unique to his case, but you made me think of how the dementia and UTI may have gone hand in hand in my cousin’s sad decline.

[trisham]

I hear you.

[Dawgreg]

Exactly! I’ve never found Will Ferrell that funny anyway but this is low even for him. Maybe he’d like to do a movie about BO, Bill or Jimmah......uh, never mind......

[JBW1949]

I sincerely hope they all lose their shirts on this one...I will not see this or any other Ferrell movie...ever!!!!!!

[EDINVA]

I cannot even comprehend anyone even conceiving of a comedy about Alzheimers, much less attempting to make such a show come to fruition. Farrell has to be lower than any human I’ve ever heard of.
