I don’t know, I’m kind of over Solange and her deciding what’s cool.

Are you now unaware of what fucking stupid meme you posted? Or do you now feel too intelligent about the matter to take any responsibility for it?

THAT DOESN’T COUNT YOU CAN ONLY COMPARE WOMEN TO OTHER WOMEN! GOSH!!

Ted: Carly, that’s not how we rehearsed your exit.

Yeah, Ronald Reagan was a piece of shit. That doesn’t mean that certain members of his family supported him one hundred percent or even at all.

Maybe they should take off the right wing Fox news filter and educate themselves about what a bastard their father really was.

Literally where did I say he should get a pass? I’m saying he should be lambasted for the shit he did, not for the disease he had. You think this movie is going to address how he nearly destroyed a generation of gay men? You think it’s going to rail on him for his racism and misogyny and homophobia?

I suggest you read a little about the Reagan children and their family life. None of them were Bristol Palin publicly backing every idiotic thing a parent said in public. Sure fuck Ron and Nancy, but I don’t think you can hold the offspring responsible. They were not cheering their parent’s policy agenda.

Do you know anything about Patti Davis? She actually spent a good amount of time publicly opposing her father’s policies. But she’s his daughter, so she’s guilty of everything he ever did?

I read it as, "I don't give a shit how they make fun of Ronald Reagan, because fuck him." Which isn't actually the issue being addressed in the article. Am I to assume the OP's comment was supposed to be unrelated to the subject of the article?

I mean, I fucking hate Reagan, but 1. I don’t blame his children for that, nor do I expect them to hate their father 2. I don’t think this project would do ANYTHING to take down Reagan mythology - it would either be preaching to the choir or fodder to ~outrage~ his conservative fan club. There are tons of substantive…

You can do that though without making fun of a disease that he and millions of others suffer(d) from. It’s like making fun of Charly Sheen for addiction. Plus it’s pretty easy to mock the man for things not related to his disease. That said I don’t particularly have an issue with comedy about anything. But it is…

As a nonstraights, I agree that fuck Ronald Reagan, but I don’t think an ableist comedy that mocks real people with a devastating disease is at all appropriate, even if that person was a jerk.

I’ve read the script and saw the live reading. It in no way makes fun of Reagan or dementia, but does posit that his vile administration took advantage of him when he was vulnerable to do the Iran contra shit. Reagan is portrayed in a pretty dignified manner. I hope Davis read it before commenting, but it sounds like…

Exactly. You want to make a movie about all the terrible shit Reagan did? HAVE AT IT. Dude was a criminal and an asshole. THERE’S PLENTY OF MATERIAL. But don’t make fun of him for having Alzheimers. In addition to being gross, it’s just kind of lazy.

I feel you, but this seems like a “don’t make fun of Ann Coulter because she’s a woman, make fun of her because she’s a pathetic excuse for a human being” kind of thing. It’s not about protecting Reagan so much as guarding against hypocrisy. Like, I’m all about a movie making fun of Reagan for non-Alzheimer’s reasons.

Zachary Taylor said he’d hang anyone involved in secession, including his son in law. (His son in law was Jefferson Davis)

Jim Webb is a former male model who killed someone who was trying to kill the Malaysian Prime Minister.

... I didn’t understand the OP, and I even more don’t understand your post, so....??!?!?!

It’s like you can't commit genocide against indigenous peoples and steal their land without everyone calling you a fucking monster.
