The Reagans Live Thread (Was "I Will Watch The Reagan Movie on Showtime")

Listen, it's probably going to turn my stomach. It's probably going to be horrible. But it is premiering on Showtime shortly, and I think I might watch it to report from behind enemy lines. This thread will be dedicated to my observations thereof.

I will be fair. If there are parts that are good, I will say so. If not, I will report that too.

Wish me and my vomit-reflex much luck.

[Petronski]

We have now lurched beyond drama into screeching melodrama.

The last time I had the pay channels, they were showing "Bat 21" every day of the week, for months on end.

"Gramma, did you know you are paying $35 a month extra for 48 HBO, TMC, Cinemax and Showtime Channels? Do you watch them all?"

Grandma: "I like watching the weather and that fuzzy channel that shows the people in my lobby."

[Lazamataz]

Ugh. Sorry, but according to TV.yahoo.com, this turd will keep steaming until just after 11 pm.

I simply cannot last that long. Someone will NEED to take over at about 10PM. PLEASE. I will have served in my point position for a full 2 hours at point for the squad.

It would be so tempting to cancel all of the channels on the basic service. The only problem is getting the local news on the big three affiliates. Plus, it would cancel FNC.

[PokeyJoe]

It's easy for me. I don't pay for extra crap. Just give me the potatoes, the meat, some gravy, beer - and the remote.

for some reason, people in my house always turn the TV away from CSPAN just when it gets interesting. A person can only take so much spongebob. Too bad a person can't cancel Nick.

Patty: How can you love somebody so much and hate everything he stands for.

Ron: You said it.

[Wondervixen]

>>He needed a well deserved break from those 10-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Long distance commercials.

I prefer to call them "IDIO-T&T" long distance commercials.

[Lazamataz]

Jimmy Carter character is a screech! Doesn't look like him at all nor sound like him. Looks like Tom Brokaw with white hair.

Last scene had Patty announcing in Meltdown Mode that Ronny and Nancy screwed her up, she cannot trust G-d, so she had her tubes tied. Screechorama.

My ears are beginning to ache, with all the banshee screeching.

[Lovergirl]

LMAO. Spongebob.LOL

"Check this out: Stairway to Gilligan's Island."

This is a great link! Thanks.

[RobFromGa]

you can't give up Laz, that mr. o'bison might take over. Does he own a chain of fast food chains that sell buffalo burgers?

[Lazamataz]

There goes dinner.

They just showed James Brolin's ass.

Of course, I'd have to say James Brolin has been showing his ass throughout this whole granite zepplin of a wreck of a smoldering ruin of a non-movie.

[txhurl]

Guess Petronski can pick up your shift.

[Petronski]

...whole granite zeppelin of a wreck of a smoldering ruin of a non-movie.

Wow, that's perfect.

[Texas_Jarhead]

did that guy just say "you're going to be inagurated as the 48th president of the United States?

[cake_crumb]

Don't worry Laz...hopefully, others will come to relieve you of this odeous duty soon. Won't be me. I don't have those premium channels for the same reason another poster stated: they show the same movies over and over again, adding one new one maybe once a month. Not worth it. Still, from the...the...utter vileness you've transmitted to us not watching, you''ve obviously gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Bookmarking this thread to check over tomorrow.

[Lazamataz]

OMG. Now Ronnie won't get out of bed for his inaugural. Deaver comes in to get him to move out of bed. Ronnie is like a depressed child. "Do I have to?"

This is beyond amazing right into Bob Scheer territory.

[RobFromGa]

what's he depressed about?

[Senator Pardek]

Please please please don't let Toby McGuire turn out to be a lib.

He's a gay metrosexual.
