  • Political Movie

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Sat Aug 8 23:23:50 2026
    I haven't watched a movie in a very long time, ever since the left ruined the media, but I miss watcing movies. I'll watch them when they have guys who are friends with Trump in them (like Stallone or Mel Gibson) or when they're Christian movies like "David" or "King of Kings."

    A long time ago Ron (I think Ron) recommended a somewhat political movie but I can't remember the name of it. Paradise Lost or something?

    Let me know! I'm gonna maybe watch "Idiocracy" tonight for the first time.

    I don't remember. We don't watch that many movies either anymore. And the most recent political movies were by Dinesh D'Souza.

    There was a movie called "Lost Paradise" that was about politics messing up a couple, but I know that I didn't see that one.

    If it was me, maybe I'll remember today sometime.

    Let me know! I'm gonna maybe watch "Idiocracy" tonight for the first
    time.

    Oh, that movie was painful to watch. Not because of the acting or anything, but because of how hard it hit home.

    Maybe it was a book. Did you tell me about a book with a similar title? Something about a world (or a country) where the political system is very unusual?

    I didn't actually watch it. I thought I was gonna find it for free but nope. Is it worth $3.99?

    It's not ringing a bell.

    IHMO: No. You can just turn on the news and get the same thing today.

    It just came to me: Atlas Shrugged

    But now I'm realizing that it's not a movie, it's a novel.

    A very long novel.

    And there have been several screen adaptions.

    It's a good book, but she belabors the points. IHMO: Read the synopsis' you can get on line today.


    ... May your screen live long and phosphor.
