"Carlson sued Ailes for sexual harassment in 2016, forcing him to resign (before his death), and busted a dam which saw a flood of women step forward who claimed..."

"... they too were harassed by the cable network news chief. Carlson settled with 21st Century Fox for a reported $20M. Kelly also admitted that she was sexually harassed by Ailes. She wrote about those advances in her 2016 book Settle for More. HarperCollins reportedly paid Kelly $10M-plus for the book" (Deadline).

A nicely minimalist trailer:

"Things seem normal enough until they discover a mysterious old relic in the old man's house, leading to an unexpected and horrifying giant spider coming to life."

It looks like they sucked the fat out of Theron's face to make her look drawn like Kelly, and injected it in to Kidder's face to make her look puffy like Carlson.

Will the movie show how Carlson eliminated the swimsuit competition from the Miss America contest?

On the other hand, my "Frankenstein in Love" will make BIG BUCKS. No politics. Nine killed. It is "The Fugitive" meets "Beauty and the Beast" with three references to the 1931 movie.

The "harassment" was saying shit like "We should have done it twenty years ago when my junk still worked." She laughed at the time because he had been keeping her career alive after his chosen future-successor keep on trying to get rid of her because of low audience scores. But then the Lefty Murdoch boys told her to make the claims and they would make sure she'd get a big settlement--as long as they could break Ailes' contract.

Sure. Make a movie about that. Call it Fake News.

Mr Wibble म्हणाले...

Anyone else kinda turned on by that elevator scene?

Laslo Spatula म्हणाले...

A movie about sexism by actresses who made their careers by trading on their sexuality.

I don't think many men will flock to see this unless they hear there is some hot lesbian action.

And a shower scene or two where the actresses soap off the sleaziness of their business.

You could combine the hot lesbian action with the shower scene, of course. Depends on what the director is wanting to convey.

I am Laslo.

Mike Sylwester म्हणाले...

A more interesting movie would tell the story about how Al Franken was compelled to resign from the US Senate.

The circumstances were that Alabama was conducting a special election to fill the vacancy created when Alabama's Senator Jeff Sessions resigned from the Senate in order to become the US Attorney General.

In that special election, the Republican candidate Roy Moore was accused of molesting some young women in the past. If Moore won the election despite those accusations, then the Senate Democrats intended to use those accusations to argue that he should not be allowed to occupy the Senate seat.

Therefore, the Senate Democrats could not allow Franken to remain in the Senate after he had been accused of sexual harassment. The Senate Democrats had to compel Franken to resign.

Franken did resign, but then Moore lost the special election anyway. Therefore, Fanken's resignation turned out to be unnecessary.

That is a very interesting story. Also, one of the movie's main characters would be Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who is running as a candidate for the US President.

"They should make the Human Centipede with all the Democratic Presidential candidates."

The point of the Human Centipede was that the people in the centipede did not WANT to be in the Centipede.

The Dems WANT to be in the Human Centipede, because the Human Centipede is a physical depiction of -- wait for it -- Socialism.

And -- like Socialism -- all of the Dems think they'll be at the FRONT of the centipede.

No one expects to be three stages back behind Bernie Sanders after he eats some Ben & Jerry Ice Cream.

Indeed. Defeating it's own premise, The Loudest Voice depicted Carlson being instructed by her newly hired lawyer to go back and listen to 20+ hours of secretly recorded conversations she had with Ailes to discover her harassment.

TV Guide...
In search of a properly incriminating clip, Gretchen has to listen back through all her audio. This tedious and re-traumatizing exercise is made palatable for television via montage scenes of an earbuds-donning Gretchen going about her daily life. Jogging, traveling for her book tour, in the bathroom preparing for work, drinking wine after a long day — all set to a greatest hits of Ailes' nastiest misogynist soundbites.

Rather than a perpetual "greatest hits", The Loudest Voice montage scene actually made it look like a search for a needle in a haystack with a eureka moment.

That Carlson couldn't recall one instance of harassment until she listened to hours of secret recordings at the insistence of her lawyer kinda defeats the idea that she was suffering from harassment at the time.

In a way it's kind of sad too. All these stories are extremely interesting with lots of characters and moving parts, perfect for either movies or longer form TV mini-series.

The Leftwing MSM made sure everyone knew who was the head of Fox News. Roges Ailes. Per Alinsky's rules: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." The Left Always does this. The right never. Its extremely frustrating that conservatives will constantly hit soft. For example, we shouldn't be talking about CNN. We should be talking about "Jeff Zucker's News Network" - because that's what it is. As you might expect, Trump is only one who does this occasionally, but the Conservative Websites/writers never follow suit.

William म्हणाले...

This is now the second big budget dramatization of the sins of Roger Ailes. He does not strike me as having been the most despicable of the various big shot horndogs, but he was certainly the most recognizably conservative one. Hollywood is not dramatizing what they think they're dramatizing. The subtext of the movie is that Hollywood is a bunch of lying frauds.....The victims of Ailes are distinct from the victims of Charley Rose, Matt Lauer, et al. in that they received multi million dollar settlements and enhanced careers. If I were a woman, I'd much rather be harassed by Ailes than raped by Clinton.

Let Fox News die in the flames they have stoked. Hopefully Tucker and Hannity have the sense to get out of that accursed city before it's devoured by the Free Shit Army, especially as they're public enemy #1, but I find I don't honestly care. They've chosen a bed, let them lie in it. Given how thoroughly Megyn Kelly's reputation has been utterly destroyed by the Trump monster and her own chilly ineptitude at human emotion, I'm astonished anyone is dumb enough to dramatize her story. But here we are.

Tucker has a future anywhere. His book is good and his videos are great. Hannity is no genius but he made a great bet on Trump and has been rewarded. I don't watch or listen to him except a few instances. Tucker is very smart and he is the only one one Fox I watch.

The left is trying very hard to get rid of Tucker because they recognize how effective he is. The other one who is great to watch is Bannon. Probably more effective as a shit disturber than administrator.

Tucker might not have the steel to stand against the left, particularly if he keeps living so near their wretched hives. Hannity is tailored towards a certain kind of conservative blowhard, but it's hardly a unique talent and I'm impressed he's kept his shows running this long. He can't top Rush, but then who can?

I think you're way off base on Bannon: he's best at laying intellectual foundations, but I don't think he's a particularly good rabble-rouser or administrator. He'd be great running a nationalist think tank, if anyone was willing to fund one. I'd work for him for a stipend.

In Hildegard Knef's autobiography she speaks about a project, secretly funded by East Germany, to make a movie condemning French behavior in Algeria.
