D.I.E.

I feel like maybe his 90s movies were mostly bad except Unforgiven and maybe,,,” a perfect World”? I remember it being a Temu “Badlands”

As far as 90s president movies starring Clint Eastwood are concerned, I would also forward In the Line of Fire, which has a great John Malkovich villain performance as a disgruntled former CIA wet work operative out for revenge

majjj

cannot abide Luke’s Starmer impression

There were a lot of movies in the 90s with ex-CIA/ American-empire-gone-rogue villains, almost like a foreshadowing to when we all learned about the term blowback in 2001. But after that the national security state had to become the heroes again.

There was another Clintonsploitation movie that came out around the exact same time. Murder at 1600, from Dwight (Marked for Death) Little. I remember it being quite similar but more absurd, and thus maybe more entertaining.

I always thought Dave was really endearing. It’s probably because I saw it when it came out and I was still a bit politically naive at 14, but Kevin Kline’s earnest performance really makes it a win. Obviously you get nonsense like Charles Grodin saying “If I ran my business like this I’d be out of business,” but I think it largely works. At the same time, I also loved The American President when I was 14 and that does not hold up. I have six post graduate degrees in mathematics!

Oh, and I forgot to mention before, it is absolutely wild to think of who was alive just a short time ago. I remember there was a World War I veteran at my bar mitzvah. I’m pretty sure there were a couple civil war veterans around when my parents were born.

Clint's hideout was shot at Christopher Hitchens' apartment lol

Highly recommend people check out Siskel and Ebert's disagreement over this film. Seems like Roger overcorrecting from his tepid review of Unforgiven

Showing the Whitehouse and surroundings in a less than reverential way is actually pretty interesting because there is an innate understanding (rather than an enforced one in like China for example) of what you can say and how you can depict things like this. The reason why so many libs lost their minds over Jan 6 was the breakdown of this fiction and the images from there more so than the idea that some knuckleheads would actually seize power.

Epstein’s numbered notes sound like a teenager’s lsd epiphanies
