Whoever does make up will need a lot of red in their kit.

I'm sure that the movie will have him trying - at massive and dramatic risk of his own life - to save her.

This, instead of heading home for a drink and to figure out an alibi.

There was never a question of how fast Teddy was going as researchers pegged it at exactly 62mph.

That is the speed necessary to knock a pair of panties off a woman and have them end up folded in the glove compartment.

Paired with Brad Pitt it is destined to be a blockbuster.

That’s so funny!!!

This idea for a movie is in seriously bad taste.

I had forgotten that the death of Miss Kopechne was the same weekend as the Apollo 11 moon landing. That certainly helped Ted keep it off the front pages.

CHAPPAQUIDDICK LIFEGUARD SING-ALONG

My daughter choreographed this for a theatrical company in Seattle. We went up to see OKLAHOMA. It gave me the inspiration for this song, which I wrote on the plane flight back.

How exactly is this a "thriller"?

He was drunk (as was his norm), he got in his car with a woman (who may or may not have had incriminating knowledge of the Kennedys), he "made a wrong turn" (on a road he had been on EVERY DAY DURING EVERY SUMMER OF HIS LIFE), drove of a bridge and left Mary Jo Kopechne there to suffocate (not drown).

This would only be described as "thrilling" by those who marvel at the Kennedys' penchant for breaking the law and getting away with it.

Ted Kennedy's “moral compass” was between his legs.

All of the Kennedy men had the same such tool.
Joe Sr, Jack, Bobby, and Ted, the examples of the worst behavior with women to date. Add Billy Jeff Clintoon and you have a basketball team of whore mongers.

The Senator struggles to follow his own moral compass


Yeah. Sure. Right.

Kinda like OJ struggling to find Nicole’s killer(s).

Since this is a Hollywood flick, I’ll bet somehow the evil Republicans are at fault.

I really don’t want to see a Ted Kennedy BDSM film.

One of the best comprehensive websites ever on the subject. Looks like someone captured it all and kept it alive.

Fatso Baldwin is a little long in the tooth to portray a young Ted.

That would take a darn good makeup artist to whittle away 20 years.

"Kennedy Car Goes Off Bridge"

Language reminiscent of "gun violence" language used by gun control advocates. Blame the object not the user, but this time is was to protect the user, not incriminate the object.

But the same people are using it in both cases.

"Thriller" is a word that gets applied very loosely in Hollywood, even to very boring films.

I used to think it meant any movie with a gun or a chase in it, but it's more like any movie where a gun or a chase could possibly feature.

Somebody said a thriller movie is "a movie that is suspenseful without depending on too much action(Action Movie) or violence (Horror Movie) to perpetrate its suspense."

In other words, it has as much to do with what the movie isn't than what it is. That definition could work here.

It will show that Ted was acting to save the virtue of Mary Jo who was being hit upon by a Nixon operative. He took her out of there to drive her home but the ghost of Lee Harvey Oswald appeared on the rickety old bridge brandishing a Manlicher-Carcano and Teddy drove into the drink.

After exorcizing the ghost of Lee Harvey he dives back into the murky water and attempts to chew through Mary Jo’s seat belt to no avail. But his effort will be portrayed as Herculean.
