They should have entitled it, “Sink or Swim”.
Leaked synopsis of the film . . . “It was all her fault.”
The moment Teddy boy put his arms around Obama is the day I knew there was something serious wrong with that Obama fellow.
I can’t think of a more depressing subject for a movie! If it’s tough on Kennedy, though, I’d be happy. Won’t pay money for it, though.
Poor Teddy. What a dreadful experience for the Golden Boy!
it’ll flop. nobody cares about this anymore
Theme song by America:
“Don’t Cross The River”
There’s a little girl out lyin’ on her own
She’s got a broken heart
She’s not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
(Ah-) And if she’s comin’ she’s showed no mark
She’s heard no whistle blowin’ from the dark
She feels like leavin’ and she don’t know why
Without no bridges she’s trapped, so I sigh
Don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide
Don’t try denyin’ livin’ on the other side
All your life
You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that you’re leaving
You’ll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin’
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide
Don’t try denyin’ livin’ on the other side
Don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide
Don’t try denyin’ livin’ on the other side
Don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide
Don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide
Don’t cross the river if you can’t swim the tide ...
Poor Mary Jo.
So, a movie about W’s good friend “Chappy”. That nickname shows W knew Kennedy was guilty. And Kennedy laughed it off.
Let me guess... In this one he saves her from drowning instead of ignoring her screams for help.
“Ted Kennedy at Chappaquiddick: A Profile in Courage”
Wow. I’m amazed this got made.
Should have been made circa 1972 though.
Let me guess the Hollywood ending:
A faithful and noble Teddy, taking this poor drunken wretch of a woman to her home, is distracted, while the sexual predator in her badgers him for sex immediately. Teddy escapes the vehicle, and with typical Kennedy-esq superhuman strength, lifts the car out of water. He wraps Mary Jo in a blanket and carries her, in his arms, the 10 miles to her house. He is then attacked by the vicious conservative press.
“... and it looks like film executives have Oscars in mind. “
If this thing so much as gets one of his hairs out of place, it wont even see a projector.
The father of No Child Left Behind had no problem leaving a drowning girl behind.
Finally, a documentary that doesn’t look at the Kennedy family through rose colored glasses? One of the first times I listened to Rush the subject was who should be the first woman honored with a national holiday. He suggested Mary Jo Kopechne, she gave her life to insure Teddy boy would be unelectable as president.
Are you kidding me? Are you freakin’ kidding me? Leftist Hollywood is making a movie about THIS? I’ll believe it when I see it. What I would really love to see is a movie on the other crime family besides the Kennedys: The Clintons.
Should have come out in ‘70 or ‘71 showing teddy rotting in jail someplace for manslaughter. But.......we know how that story plays out.
He left her to die in a car he crashed while driving drunk.
He did far worse things.
May he burn in hell.
I would be tempted to go see it if the starring car was switched from a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 sedan to a 1958 Plymouth Fury (white over red) and the screenplay written by Steven King.
