W is at the "Greg Stilson" phase now

[enigmatic]

I'm convinced of it; after watching Russert and Williams yesterday on MSNBC and the parade of talking heads today looking ashen and visably shaken at this coming strike at Iran, they know it, too.

What a surreal day.

1. Let me know when he gets to "Tony Montana"

gotta get the popcorn cookin'

[MuseRider]

2. Hide your babies!

Hard to believe that Martin Sheen did such a great job with that character.

I used to think that Stilson was Reagan but I think Bush** is much closer.

4. Bush is definitely closer to Stillson than Reagan was.

I am no fan of Reagan's, but I never thought of him in the context of evil, which is how I think of Bush.

[enigmatic]

11. Reagan was detached; W's insane

They could cover Reagan's early stage Alzheimer's, but they can't stop (or cover-up anymore)W's madness.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Exactly right!

I couldn't think of the word for Reagan (maybe MY mind was briefly detached).

7. you too?

And I think Iran is W's "The missiles are flying. Hallelujah, Hallelujah!" moment, too..

[CatWoman]

8. yup

got me scared now.

really I am.

:scared:

[brentspeak]

5. "My destiny..."

[dflprincess]

6. The same talking heads that helped get us into this mess

by banging the war drums so loudly. I hope they burn in hell with Bush.

[Dr.Phool]

9. They sure as hell deserve it.

Especially Russert.

[enigmatic]

10. they helped feed his madness

no doubt about that; now they realize what it's bought.

[seabeyond]

16. thank you. stephen king. gotcha. i havent seen the movie, obviously n/t

[SeattleGirl]

15. The evil politician in "The Dead Zone" book and movie.

Played by Martin Sheen.

[brentspeak]

17. The Greg Stillson character was so cowardly, he hid behind a baby when a gun was pointed at him

[CatWoman]

18. and then, having been disgraced,

blew his brains out.

[shadowknows69]

20. Ah the dreams Stephen King fills my head with

n/t

[brentspeak]

21. A good film. Probably the most mainstream of Cronenberg's movies.

[seabeyond]

19. oooohhhh i think i saw this. the end of it anyway. yes. i am going to

have to get this and see it again. has christopher or whoever that guy is... walker??? i remember. just saw the very end. thanks

[brentspeak]

22. Walken, yeah.

[enigmatic]

23. Watch it

It's arguably the best of King's novels put to film, and Christopher Walken became "Christopher Walken" in it, too.

The Greg Stilson scenes are beyond creepy transposed onto W's current stability...

[seabeyond]

24. how exciting. thanks guys. i am going to rent this. appreciate n/t
