"Here’s a first look at the unlikely casting but uncanny resemblance of Jane Fonda as former First Lady Nancy Reagan."

"Alan Rickman plays President Ronald Reagan... The pic stars Forest Whitaker as White House butler Eugene Allen whose career spanned 34 years there."

And it's not that great a resemblance.; 9/12/12, 8:50 AM

Just keep saying that and the yoots who din't live through the time will believe you. And if they put stupid words in her mouth--words that have never been linked to her--they will believe that, too. The people that knew Pat Nixon well said that she was not only NOT an alcoholic, they never recall seeing her drunk--she used the old political wives' trick of getting a cocktail at the beginning of the evening, then only refilling it with the mixer thereafter. The biographer Nixon hired confirmed this as he was the one to get her her refills during the couple of years he spent with her. Yet, the myth (created by Lefties) that she was an alcoholic lives on. Why? Because she would HAVE to be, married to Nixon and all. Pathetic.; 9/12/12, 10:22 AM
William said...: I recommend that they cast Ron Jeremy as Bill Clinton. The movie should be retitled What The Butler Saw. Scarlet Johannsen can dye her hair and play the part of Monica. Such a movie might be worth seeing.; 9/12/12, 10:28 AM
Thorley Winston said...: I love Alan Rickman but don’t see him as a plausible Ronald Reagan.

Jane Fonda’s acting peaked with “Barbarella.”

I don’t see any reason for the inclusion of Forest Whittaker in this movie unless the butler is going to get “in your face” with one of the other characters and start spitting while he talks.; 9/12/12, 10:36 AM

The butler wrote the book upon which the script is based. My guess would be that the butler occupies a lot of screen time. I also bet that the Reagans are rude-- or worse--to this proud man of color. Would a publisher ever suggest changes to non-fiction? Oh, heavens no.; 9/12/12, 11:14 AM
