One minute on screen for each page of script. Generally 46 minutes per hour on broadcast TV. 213 pages would be a little long, but possible in a dialogue-heavy script.

Isn't one of the left's myths about Reagan something about him going to eat up all the donation food after stealing it and taking it to The White House?

Wouldn't that part of the script be somewhat telling of this myth?

Poor Nancy. I hope she never reads this tripe.

[Al B.]

I am stunned by the blatant malice of this.

Remarkable stuff. Communists have always relied on the First Amendment as their first and best option to subvert from within.

We need to get the heat back into the "cold war".

I have some OCR software, I have never tried to use it on a pdf graphic before, but it's worth a shot.

Patti: What kind of family is this? Even a bullet can't bring us together.

Moonves didn't cancel this thing because of their legal liability (though it appears to be a billion-dollar libel suit waiting to happen). He canceled it because if it had aired on his network, it would have been the lowest, most embarrassing moment in CBS's 75-year history. This thing reads like it was written by 10th graders.

This is the New York Times CBS Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

Are those real quotes from the movie? I know they ain't real from reality, but are they actual parts of the script? If so I can see why Moonves dumped it on Showtime. It's worse than even I expected.

[Tall_Texan]

They also claim that Nancy is listed as a communist sympathizer!!! SUE THEM ALL!

Actually, this part is true - in a way. Reagan was head of the Screen Actor's Guild when a little-known B-movie actress named Nancy Davis contacted him because her name was put on a list of communist sympathisers. There were TWO Nancy Davises in Hollywood and the big-eyed conservative one went to Reagan in an attempt to clear her name. THAT'S HOW THEY MET!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

This film will have the Leftsist orgasmic for weeks. Assuming it still airs on Showtime, the print media will be gushing about it for weeks too. They'll get all the filth out one way or another. I hope this results in a barrage of boycots and defamation lawsuits.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Another good reason for ending up on Showtime is that now it won't be edited.

If it had run on CBS, they would have felt pressure to cut a few of the most egregious lines, which would only make them more tantalizing to the left. Those lines soon would have had a life of their own.

This way, the entire project can be trashed and forgotten.

Thanks sol2000! I don't recall Nancy dressing up and doing a skit like this. IF it had happened, the press would have broadcast it far and wide for a month afterward.

Your #106 isn't showing up, btw.
