I never would have known they made this movie if you hadn't posted this.

I happened to catch a tv commercial for this the other day and I was like what? It appears they are trying to spin him as some great hero? Who comes up with this shit?

[–] FlyingSquid 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He is a great hero to a large segment of Republicans. Because he gutted the social safety net they hate so much and removed a lot of financial and ecological regulations. And also because they think he defeated communism forever. (But we cannot possibly reconcile with communist Cuba!)

Cut taxes massively on the wealthy. Do we think the wealth inequality that has been a staple is most of our lives has anything to do with that?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

maybe they're trying to distract from the trump movie

My dude I'm almost never serious

[–] jaybone 3 points 2 months ago

Omg I just say a promo, this is a thing. 🙁

[–] makeshiftreaper 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Clearly you don't go to the movie theaters very often. There's been big ass marquees for it for over a month now

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Guilty as charged.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Same. But it only releases next month (unless you want tot settle for cam/telesync rips).

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's already out. Came out August 30th.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, in cinemans. I'm talking about the digitial release.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 2 months ago

Ah, gotcha.

[–] stoly 1 points 2 months ago

I think I saw a photo on here a few days ago, but yes.

I'm honestly a bit surprised Republicans didn't preserve his body and put it on display, Lenin style.

Kevin Sorbo is the red flag here. Literally only makes christian propaganda bullshit.

[–] FlyingSquid 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But I love that his career is at such a low point that he didn't even make the trailer.

[–] acosmichippo 17 points 2 months ago

I wonder if they kept him out because they know he's a walking red flag and wanted this to appear mainstream.

[–] acosmichippo 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I wonder what thanksgiving is like at the Quaid household. You've got Dennis making republican/chrisitian propaganda and Jack making The Boys where they rightfully analogize these people with nazis. Plus Meg Ryan who hasn't been seen anywhere, and don't forget crazy uncle Randy! A model American family lol.

[–] d00phy 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Didn’t realize Dennis was a nut job.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Him, his wife, and their dog. All nuts.

[–] DrSleepless 29 points 2 months ago (2 children)

With great actors like Kevin Sorbo and Scott Stapp?

[–] FlyingSquid 22 points 2 months ago

Sorbo isn't even in the trailer! He couldn't find a clip of Sorbo to use! I would feel sorry for him if he weren't a complete douchebag.

[–] Raiderkev 3 points 2 months ago

Scott Stapp was able to escape the government agents that were trying to hunt him down to make this fine film?!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Still better than his presidency

[–] Bricriu 19 points 2 months ago

Shorter, at least

[–] jaggedrobotpubes 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yayyy I was afraid of that fuckin dingus getting any flattering light on him from this. Welcome news.

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just don't think Reagan is the draw he might have been once. You can't rely on people old enough to have voted for him to fill all the movie seats.

[–] CodexArcanum 4 points 2 months ago

According to the YTer, it's been in development for at least 10 years. Maybe a large segment of their pre-pandemic, antivax/antimask crowd couldn't make it to the premier?

[–] Snapz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Who is this YouTuber? Good person generally?

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A comedian. I enjoy his videos.

[–] Snapz 1 points 2 months ago

Anything about his general philosophy though... Decent person?

I'm just weary these days of people quietly pushing odd agendas in innocuous ways in unrelated content, so I like to walk into a new person with a more detailed intro from someone who is already a fan. Otherwise you get things like, "This is the way to make the best brownies for a summer picnic. We'll go through the recipe step by step and you'll love these brownies! I love Summer, it's a great time for picnics and also a great time to not get vaccinated and do a January 6th because what is a woman and CRT!"
