“”””When I first heard about this movie, I could not believe that Ronald Reagan was being played by Cousin Eddie. Like SuperLuminal, I got brothers mixed up.””””
Cousin Eddie played LBJ and won a Golden Globe award for the portrayal.
My wife and I went to see the movie this afternoon. We both thought it was a really good movie and would recommend it to everyone!!
you sure ?
Dennis or Randy ?
Yes, Randy played Cousin Eddie and LBJ, evidently he doesn’t have much range.
This is one thing I credit Trump with over Reagan - his kids. So much better than Reagan kids.
Michael is the adopted one and he turned out fine.
Biological sister Maureen was great but unfortunately died pretty young from cancer.
So mostly we’re left with biological kids who apparently had poor upbringing perhaps. Maybe too much Spock (which led to this liberal mess, I’m absolutely convinced).
Yes, the two kids Ronald Reagan had with Jane Wyman, Michael and Maureen (now deceased) were staunch conservatives. I believe Michael even had a conservative radio talk show for a while.
The younger two kids, (Ronald and Nancy’s offspring) Patti and Ron Jr. are loudly leftist.
“By their fruits you shall know them. “
I never met either Jane or Nancy, but Jane’s kids turned out to be better people... by a mile.
Been crying over the hostages but you made me laugh. Thanks.
I too saw it this afternoon. It portrayed the times perfectly. It has interesting parallels to today’s goons pushing the antisemitic propaganda today and the attacks on President Trump.
Yes indeed...
Occasionally, when you are 90, confusion can occur...
Historical dramas do sometimes tend to be rather syrupy.
Regards,
I will definitely make a point to see this film. Its so rare that Hollywood produces anything worth watching anymore.
Good timing on the release. Might help Reagan’s successor Trump win.
Hmmmmmm! Reagan was a lifeguard too. Is that the basis for joementia’s claim, uh his time as a lifeguard. 🤔😊👍
Geez...you lean heavily on your age to explain that “mistake”!
What am I, at least two decades younger than you, to use for MY frequent mistakes of exactly the same nature????
I was explaining to a friend recently about Teddy Roosevelt brokering a peace treaty between Japan and Russia in 1905, and in my telling, I said “Teddy Kennedy brokered a peace treaty in 1905...” and my friend stared at me in alarm and disbelief...quickly correcting me by pointing out Ted Kennedy had not even been born at that time.
Of course, I meant to say “Teddy Roosevelt”, and “Teddy Kennedy” just came out instead!
When you talk a lot about a wide range of things, these types of things happen, FRiend!
