I'm a complete movie barbarian.
Haven't been to a movie theater in decades. (Well, except with school classes a few times).
I think Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and One Flew Over The Cucko's Nest were the last ones I saw in a theater
I watched 2, maybe 3 movies a year on TV. Only when I'm really bored.
The plots in movies are most of the times so thin, childish IMHO. Not my beer.

And besides that, have you ever heard about Frank Lammers, Martin Koolhoven or Halina Reijn?

His big movies were in the 80s. You should be able to find them on tv somewhere by now.

I'd been calling him "President SuperSpreader", but I like "Typhoid Trump" better.

How about The Walking Dead?

It would fit since I hate the franchise too.

What's more super than super spreader?

White House coronavirus outbreak may have exposed thousands from Atlanta to Minnesota

Officials exposed to COVID-19 at the White House went on to other functions, often without masks, potentially exposing thousands.

President Donald Trump and other White House insiders infected with COVID-19 carried the virus across the country in a matter of days, potentially exposing hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people as they went about their business, a USA TODAY investigation found.

From a religious summit outside Atlanta to a campaign rally at a Pennsylvania airport and a private fundraiser in Minnesota, Trump, his aides and political allies attended events with thousands of people, often without masks and little regard for social distancing.

Trump, first lady Melania Trump, senior adviser Hope Hicks and press secretary Kayleigh McEnany are among more than 20 to test positive for COVID-19 from an outbreak tied to the White House.

Well of course he's going to be the most prolific, greatest and YUGEST superspreader in the whole history of epidemiology.

CPD: CPD Announces Second Presidential Debate Will Be Virtual

Campaigns Spar Over Debate Plan After Trump Rejects Virtual Face-Off (Published 2020)

The Trump campaign suggested new dates as Joe Biden made plans for a televised town hall. “American voters are the losers,” a member of the debate commission said.

Mr. Trump said he only learned of the debate commission’s decision on Thursday morning, minutes before he got on the phone for an interview. He accused the commission of “trying to protect Biden.”

Well, erm, yes. And the moderator, the audience and the camera and sound crews.

He was in a lot of 80s movies like Spaceballs, Ghostbusters, Little Shop of Horrors, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. He left the public eye for a long time to raise his children after his wife passed.

Also recently in the news for being a king-hit victim.

Another aside on Moranis. He more or less stopped live-acting in movies, but was still working. He didn't want to travel and put his kids first, but voice-acting can often be done more locally if needed, so that's what he did, at least that's what I've read.

Everything wrong about our democracy, rich people buying access. Since his campaign is actively pocketing campaign funds I wonder if they realize they're just handing the money to him personally.

About 200 people attended a roundtable discussion and a fundraiser for the president Oct 1. at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Attendees paid up to $250,000 to participate.

A day before the New Jersey fundraiser, the president traveled to a $200,000-per-couple fundraiser at the home of Martin and Anne Davis on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota and a rally at the Minneapolis airport.

Apparently, even money cannot buy any respect for your life from this "president".

The White House turned down an offer from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to track down and notify those who may have been linked to the outbreak. There is no government-led effort underway to determine how many people outside the official White House staff were exposed to the virus or to warn them.

Every question to the white house from every reporter should be "When was the time and date of the president's most recent NEGATIVE covid-19 test?"

And they should keep asking that and no other question until they get an answer. And every story about him should start with "Silence from the white house confirms that Trump was highly contagious and deliberately exposing others to covid-19 LONG before his 'official' positive diagnosis early Friday morning."

I'm wondering how long it'll be before Pence admits he's positive. That goopy zombie eye of his was really creeping me out last night.

Honestly, I'm not sure which was creepier, the eye or the fly.

Trump boasts he is 'perfect physical specimen' and claims to be 'immune' to Covid

'When you catch it, you get better and then you're immune,' the president falsely claimed

www.independent.co.uk

This CANNOT be real can it? I mean, I presume they're using his words since it was recorded during a phone call with Fox Business, but holy cow.

“Yeah they’re going to get it,” he said about the treatments, adding: “I’m back because I am perfect physical specimen and I'm extremely young, and so I am lucky in that way.”

Mr Trump went on to state that once people catch the novel virus “you get better”...When asked if he was contagious, Mr Trump said: “When you catch it, you get better and then you're immune.”

Good see Trump has learned a lot about COVID after it passed through his system leaving him totally healthy and immune. Also, it seems to have made him immune from showing any sign of intelligence, but that's beside the point.

I guess we'll be seeing him in a public setting soon. Right?

 

[Veritable Quandry]

Also, it seems to have made him immune from showing any sign of intelligence

That's a pre-existing condition.

That interview -- thread

He's bonkers, full on delusional. The emperor has no clothes.

He's bonkers, full on delusional. The emperor has no clothes.

We're watching mania in real time -- he's ill with the virus, pumped full of steroids that have him high as a kite, heading towards the crisis of his illness (if he still needs his meds after the weekend, then that's seriously bad news for him) while he lives out his fantasy that all's well and he'll crush his enemies, just as he crushes the virus, which his personal survival will ensure, and on to win the election.

And we're watching it all, horrified, and knowing this is a man who may well have only days to live, but meanwhile is the President of the US, and there's an election going on, and the country is in the grips of a pandemic and an economic crisis.
