Has anybody seen this really old movie "Wag the Dog"? It's about faking a war to distract from a presidential sex scandal.
>>219498463Wow, very topical anon, I hope you are not alluding to anything not movie related.
>>219498463Israel killed John F Kennedy
>>219498463You mean the one mocking the Clinton administration bombing Iraq to distract from the Lewinsky story?
>>219498463This movie is pretty much a fucking documentary
>>219498463Even featuring a miracle rescue of a soldier trapped behind enemy lines subplot.
>>219498463i watched Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics: le movie. it's about Clintons paying people to dig dirt on their enemies to win. and Bill had segs with a nigerian.snudge snudge wink wink, russian collusions amirite gaiz?
>>219498463funny film. First time I saw it I was crying I was laughing so hard.> but.. I'm also into politics
Is fun to think that Lewinsky scandal is basically just and extension of the same scandal that has been dragging on for 30 years.
>>219498463albanians are the bad guys in movie. very nice!
>1997>really old
>>21949939530 years ago. that's a lifetime.
>>219499665The Good and the Bad and the Ugly was made 30 years before Wag the Dog.
>>219499729and both movies get 2 thumbs down from me
>>219498463Good movie. Somewhat akin to the truth.
>>219498463Saw it in a theater when it came out. It inspired the “Free Hat” thing from South Park.
anne heche had real nice fuckin tits great performance from hoffman too
>>219498463It's quite good. I think a character like Hoffman's would work well in a less farcical character study, a propagandist who sees himself as an artist and only cares for the artistic value of his work is an interesting idea, and the way it clashes with the actual function of his work makes for some good moments.
rewatched it recently, it was worse than i remembered.
>>219498495>mocking the Clinton administration bombing Iraq to distract from the Lewinsky storyYou sure about that? >Wag The Dog (1997)>A sex scandal involving Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States, and Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern, erupted in 1998>erupted in 1998
>>219498463An unfunny and obvious satire with an ending you see coming from the beginning.
>>219498463Nice. I like dogs and I like wagging tails so it looks like this movie was made for me
My dad brings up this movie almost every time we're talking about politics
>>219498463What a ridiculous premise!
>>219498463>Wag the Dog>this old movie
>>219498495> mockingThe movie is based on the book "American Hero"; which actually claims that the first Gulf War was a distraction from GHW Bush having an affiar:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_Dog_(novel)Clinton:Yes, there was an odd coincidence of timing; where the alleged girl in the film is seen in a photo wearing a beret; right around the time that the photo of Clinton and Lewinski (also wearing a beret) came out, but that's just a coincidence. Not the first time that sort of thing has happened. For example, when the film "The China Syndrome" (a film about a nuclear power plant having a meltdown) came out only days before the incident at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant
>>219504553movie was obviously referencing the yugoslav/serbian war.
"Put some pants on that kid!"What? The trailer was always paired with "The Wedding Singer" on an old VHS I had.
>>219498463good movie
>>219500294I may come off as envious but ellen must be bomb at giving cunnilingus. Annheche and Portia are smoking hotties. I am absolutely funnier than her.
>>219498463I saw a version years ago and there's a scene at the start where Hoffman says people know what everyone else does, reviews even praise the costume designers, but nobody knows what a producer does then I watched it again recently and that scene was absent. How many cuts are there
>>219498463Can we expect part two in the foreseeable future?
>>219511629Unsure but that's a good question.
>>219504553shit like this is why i never completely tune out schizos when they talk about predictive programming.
>>219498463yes, and it's possibly the funniest movie i've seen. it's also the most jewish movie i ever saw - possibly more jewish than spaceballs. it came out before the monica lewinsky scandal. it's kind of like the china syndrome in that way (that movie came out a few weeks before three mile island and depicted almost the same mistake that the operators at that plant made). i personally suspect wag the dog was a brag/admission by the mossad about how they control the us government
>>219511629it's right herehttps://youtu.be/M-FXkj-r9Mc?t=55and herehttps://youtu.be/pm-5gWhJ3qY?t=64
>>219498463Winifred Ames: Has he been in jail long?Stanley Motss: Twelve years.Winifred Ames: Does he have much longer to serve?Stanley Motss: Mmm. (nodding)Winifred Ames: What did he do?Stanley Motss: He raped a nun...Winifred Ames: Oh, God. Oh, God. Jes... oh, God!Stanley Motss: And...Winifred Ames: "And"? I don't want to know an "and". Why is there an "and"?Stanley Motss: Look, look, look, look, look. He's fine as long as he gets his medications...Winifred Ames: And if he doesn't get his medications?Stanley Motss: He's not fine.
>>219521388I'm thinkin about those beans
>>219504553does it actually actually claim that? if so then include author in the people who are actually retards if they think that's how military operations work re: Clinton
>>219504553Good book
>>219498550Good Old Shoe
>>219501426Bill Clinton had about 30 sex scandals before Monica Lewinsky. See also: Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers.
libs are literally retarded
>>219498463Fake war is actually real. Sex scandal is a literal mental patient calling an FBI tip line in 2019. Kek
>>219525021What is the goal in Iran? What happened to trump's charity? Is Jared kushner a mossad agent?
