Lmao they made Trump sound like a fucking demon. What the Hell kind of weird, Harry Potter, Liberal Fantasy horseshit is this? That entire scene at the one minute mark is something straight out of a Hannibal Lecter movie. I don't want to hear a fucking word about conspiracy theorists infecting the "right" anymore, if these people will make an entire Showtime special dedicated to the Russian Collusion conspiracy.

You can take a shit on QAnon all you want but at least they don't crank out shitty, propaganda movies.

THE COMEY RULE
New Limited Series Starring Jeff Daniels and Brendan Gleeson
SHOWTIME has announced that the new limited series THE COMEY RULE, starring Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom) as former FBI Director James Comey and Brendan Gleeson (Mr. Mercedes) as President Donald J. Trump, will premiere on consecutive nights: Sunday, September 27 and Monday, September 28 at 9PM ET/PT.

The two-part, four-hour event series was adapted for the screen and directed by Oscar® nominated screenwriter Billy Ray (Captain Phillips, Shattered Glass) and executive produced by Shane Salerno, Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin and Ray.

Based on Comey’s No. 1 New York Times bestselling book A Higher Loyalty and more than a year of additional interviews with a number of key principals, THE COMEY RULE is an immersive, behind-the-headlines account of the historically turbulent events surrounding the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath, which divided a nation. THE COMEY RULE is not a biopic of one man, but is instead the story of two powerful figures, Comey and Trump, whose strikingly different personalities, ethics and loyalties put them on a collision course.

In addition to Daniels and Gleeson, THE COMEY RULE features an ensemble of Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe® and Tony® winning talent, including Holly Hunter (The Piano) as former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Michael Kelly (Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan) as former FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Jennifer Ehle (Zero Dark Thirty) as Patrice Comey, Scoot McNairy (Halt and Catch Fire) as former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul) as former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, Oona Chaplin (Game of Thrones) as former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, Amy Seimetz (The Girlfriend Experience) as former FBI lawyer Trisha Anderson, Steven Pasquale (The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story) as former FBI agent Peter Strzok, Peter Coyote (The Disappearance) as Robert Mueller and Kingsley Ben-Adir (High Fidelity) as President Barack Obama.

Steve Zissis (Togetherness), Shawn Doyle (House of Cards), Brian d’Arcy James (Spotlight), Dalmar Abuzeid (Anne with an E), William Sadler (When They See Us), Richard Thomas (Tell Me Your Secrets), T.R. Knight (Grey’s Anatomy), Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Spencer Garrett (Bombshell), Michael Hyatt (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Damon Gupton (Black Lightning) and Seann Gallagher (Good Witch) also star.

I never realized that a fascist dictator would allow you to make feature-length films about them that painted them in a negative light. I also wasn't aware that you were allowed to release these films two months away from an election, because fascist dictatorships also allow elections, apparently. Living under the iron fist of a fascistic dictator sure feels a whole lot differently than it's portrayed in the history books.

Oh wait, I guess they could just be lying.

I think a show or mini series about Trump's Presidency could be great. But Hollywood would make it into "orange man bad, we good" while the right would just jerk off Trump.

There’s a lot of easy comedy without even needing to take a political stance. Take a big, funny looking, bombastic man and put him in a “fish out of water” scenario, aka the presidency when he’s not a politician. Pence is more calm and dignified- a built in foil. Starting on the campaign trail? He literally comes down a golden escalator and it wouldn’t take much to make the republican debates hilarious.
It’d make a great movie, but Hollywood would make him Satan and low rent Christian studios, which is all the right has, would make him Superman.

And every move the DNC makes to try and get one over on Trump. A comedy of errors that actually happened.

I love Trump, but yeah - it wouldn't be much more entertaining seeing him portrayed as Blond Bruce Wayne than Orange Badman (the reaction on Twitter would be entertaining tho)

You could definitely tell a great story about him, but he's already such a larger-than-life character you'd struggle to find an actor who could do him justice without lapsing into SNL-tier impressions.

Maybe Gleeson can pull it off - he's the right physical type. The script probably won't let him do it straight though. Brian Dennehy would've been perfect.

Jeff Daniels might be good casting for Comey, there's a kind of smarmy goofiness to the guy. He kinda reminded me of Jerry Lundegaard in Fargo: a man fundamentally out of his depth, who overestimated his own cleverness and charisma, but couldn't keep the desperation out of his eyes.

This sounds like the most boring shit ever, nothing is more boring than Hollywood's disdain for Trump.

We have people literally burning the country down, people working tirelessly night and day to make the world a joyless hellhole of pure misery, but Orange Man and his mean Tweets is what we should be upset about, uh huh.

This will be about as entertaining as watching a movie called “Space Force”, or Jon Stewart really thinking he knows more about politics because he pretends to play a news host with a staff of writers.
 
Dunno if anyone else bothered to watch this yet: the missus and I threw it on last night for a laugh. We weren't disappointed one bit on that front. The levels of cope are off the charts, there are characters who are essentially there only to REE incoherently about dang dirty Drumpf and there's no conspiracy theory that they aren't rehashing entirely.

It's worth a watch if only to laugh at Comey's wife and four daughters crying about the election. Also, the writers keep harping on the idea that Comey violated "norms" at the FBI as a way of getting around the fact that he may not have done anything wrong but he wasn't playing by the rules that they've turned into their headcanon, I guess?
