Clintonoid Celluloid At 2004 Sundance Film Fest: Harry Thomason's "The Hunting of The President"

2004 Sundance Film Guide ^ | December 2003 | Elizabeth Richardson & Joseph Beyer

[Howlin]

You're right about that.

When I read stuff like this, I always have the feeling I should hit my knees and thank God and my lucky stars that I "turned out" to be a Republican and a conservative.

I'd slit my throat if I had to think of ways to defend crap like that!

[TommyDale]

"I wonder if Thomason mentions anywhere in the film that Clinton ended up paying Paula Jones 800,000 big ones. Or that a judge fined him as well. Or that he was disbarred from the Supreme Court. Or..."

Or if they will show all the dead bodies that are attributed to the Clintons. I only know of one person in my entire lifetime who committed suicide. What are the odds of the Clintons knowing so many?

[ladyinred]

Less of an advocacy film and more of an alarming treatise on the political power of the media and personal interests,

And I am the good fairy!!! Hatred spews for the right, religious people and Rush Limbaugh in the review! I can't imagine how the movie must be!

P.U.

[ladyinred]

You are so right-----again! This is all for Hillary 2004-8, whatever!

[Adrastus]

All these people take on a dreary sameness after a while. They don't seem to have a lot of original thought going on there.I guess bruno's minions have to do something.

[Howlin]

It's so damn concerted anybody can see it!

[Criminal Number 18F]

What? Whaaaaat? No mention of "Internet malcontents?"

d.o.l.

[L.N. Smithee]

Too bad they dont do a movie about Hot Springs, Mena, New Orleans, to the White House and Clintonista's management by crisis.....

Funny you should mention Mena and Hot Springs....

Mara Leveritt's The Boys on The Tracks is a perfect book for adaptation into a motion picture. It's got it all: Governor Bill Clinton, Joycelyn Elders, Virginia Kelley, and the less-than-credible medical examiner Fahmy Malak (with Barry Seal and the fact that both Reagan and H.W. were President during the cover-up for balance). However, as far as I know, no one has made any serious overtures to any studio.

[Pagey]

a glimpse at the genesis of these partisan vendettas and explores the myths and truths behind the nearly 10-year campaign to systematically destroy the political legacy of the Clintons

Funny isn't it? Best friend of Bill and Shrillary, Harry Thomason, makes a movie about Bill and Hillary Clintons' LEGACY! That's been taken care of already Mr. Thomason, Bill has to wake up everyday, look in the mirror and push away the thought that he didn't amount to much when push came to shove,and specifically in regards to Terrorism, he has the blood of 3000 Americans on his hands. His Legacy is the fact that he wanted to be in a position of POWER, not necessarily to WIELD that POWER w/ the convictions that come from a real man w/ core beliefs, ala Ronald Reagan.

SLAP!!!

[Revolting cat!]

As Tacis says above, get used to it! This was predicted by some of us during the so-called 'impeachment trial', while the optimists yelled that "impeachment is forever", or something like that. This semi-impeachment has pretty much turned out to be erasable, for lack of a better word, as historians, who, needless to say, are all objective and non-partisan, continue to rewrite history.

[onyx]

As disgusting as it is transparent. These people have no shame at all.

[A Citizen Reporter]

This is disgusting! I might add that apparently all clintonistas are on message, as I saw Dickie Morris on Fox News yesterday, explaining the hatred of President Bush. In his opinion, it all started with the level of animosity that the "hard right" had for clinton, and that clinton knew how to "use it". He now says that it is the same with the left and President Bush. I find Morris' equivalent relevancy to be, well.....slimey.

[Howlin]

Remember when we thought we couldn't loathe them anymore?

Heck, remember how dumb we were when we actually believed that when Bush finally took over we'd be rid of the lot of them?

What can I say? We was dumb.

[JoeSchem]

Someone should do a documentary about stuff that's in the public domain: like how Clinton launched cruise missiles against that aspirin factory in Sudan, or the Air War in Serbia, based on the timing of *ahem* certain scandals. Or his failure to do anything about Osama bin Laden even eight years after the first World Trade Center bombing. Or about Waco. Or about . . . well, you get it.

[A Citizen Reporter]

They were further entrenched than even WE thought they were! And usually in disguise.

[Howlin]

Exactly. And we thought the absolute worst about them. Who could have ever guessed.

They have to be defeated; for all intents and purposes, they and their minions are, for lack of a better word, a government-in-waiting.
