Assassination Nation (2018) Violent satire about four high school girls and the hatred that engulfs Anytown USA when an anonymous hacker makes much of the population’s private life public. A theatrical flop, I thought it was a blast. From director Sam (son of Barry) Levinson. (HBO)

This sounds appealing. I'll see if Canada's HBO on-demand carries it. Otherwise, I'll pirate it.

Does it skip his time running weapons to the Sandinistas in the 80s or his secret marriage to Ethel Kennedy?

Yeah a very funny film.

When they first announced it, I foolishly thought it was meant to be in earnest. I was baffled by the casting.

I was 5 or 6 minutes into the watch when i realized. "Hey! That never happened.....oh.....OOOOHHH!"

I'd like to have this reaction on video.

It's probably my favorite movie of 2022. The Warhol party scene had me rolling.

In a dream last night, I was watching Abbott and Costello's Buck Privates, so I'm going to watch that while riding the bike this morning. I know all those A & C movies from being a kid and them being shown Saturday mornings (cartoons went from 6 am to 10 am, then an old movie). In retrospect, it seems weird, given the radical social and cultural shifts of the 60s and 70s, to show comedies from the 40s and 50s to kids, stuff that was so removed from cultural sensibilities. That was stuff for parents and grandparents, not kids on Saturday morning. But we watched it because it was on.

Have you ever seen The Times of Their Lives? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_of_Their_Lives

I always loved that one.

I'm sure I've seen them all (albeit most 40+ years ago) but the plot of that only vaguely rings a bell.

edit: Having rewatched Buck Privates, I can say that the Andrew Sisters bug me. There's something version antiseptic and artificial about their voices.

The Andrew Sisters were the voice of joy and happiness for the GIs fighting in WWII. Why do you hate freedom so much?
