Some more interviews with cast members concerning the HBO movie "Game Change."

You can see yet another preview, with some more interesting tidbits, by clicking here.

I think I will clear my entire calendar on March 10th, get a BIG bowl of popcorn, and find the most comfortable chair in the house in order to get as much enjoyment out of watching this movie that I possibly can.

And I have little doubt that I will get a great deal of enjoyment indeed.

    Gryph, have you heard about Santorum's interview with Glenn Beck?

    This is getting absolutely ridiculous . . . .

    After watching the trailers, I can see how the Palinbots will be all excited about seeing their heartthrob be so "mavericky" --- however, NO, politician with a single brain cell will ever want her on their team. In a way, the movie vindicates McCain. It was great that the movie has Schmidt's approval, as he holds the burden of the Palin "problem".

    The movie vindicates McCain?

    Never! He is ultimately the one responsible for her.
    And he defends her to this day. That will be his legend when he is gone.

    I just broke my rule of not paying more for cable than I have to -I've subscribed to HBO.

    Trailer 2 is excellent. I think one of the real issues is Todd's connection to the AIP. She went to great lengths to try to lie about that.

    Satan Speaks to Santorum - and Has Some Words For Sarah Palin, Too

    ...I especially appreciate it when folks like you and the Half-Governor talk about me, because let's face it: We're working the same demographic. I'm after their souls and you're after their campaign cash, but it's the same crowd I've been running with since the dawn of time:

    They're the moneylenders who were chased out of the Temple.

    They're the Usurers that were condemned three thousand years ago in Babylon.

    They're the hypocrites who shout their faith all over the airwaves after the Bible told them to "pray in secret."

    They're the liars, the backbiters, the slanderers, the rich men who are no more likely to get to heaven than a camel is to pass through the eye of a needle.

    All of them flocked to me after the Competition kicked them out.

    They've stood by my side ever since -- and I've stood by them. I walked with them in ancient Rome. I guided them through the flames of Europe. I carried whips and chains on their slaveships and watched workers die in their sweatshops. They're my people -- and now they're yours, too.

    I'm talking about the money guys, mind you, not the voters. It's easy to fool voters once you've got yourself a mega-million-dollar war chest, which so many of you have amassed -- with a little help from my friends.

    You know what almost happened just now? I almost reminded you that you can't serve both God and Mammon at the same time. But then I thought: Why sell against myself?

    As long as you're giving me so much coverage, though, I should set you straight about the way I work. "Satan has his sights on the United States of America!" you said. "Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality ... This is a spiritual war," you said.

    You got it all wrong, pal. I don't attack countries or institutions. I go after people. I take 'em down the same way the Competition lifts 'em up: One soul at a time. And I don't work through ethnic groups or countries or religions you don't like. I just burrow my way into a single mind, rent some space there, and go to work.

    Possession? Corruption? I prefer to think of it as a "hostile takeover."

    But I'm disappointed in you, Rick. When the going got tough you tried to backpedal and pretend I didn't matter. Then your pal from the Frozen North spoke up, and she turned gutless too! She said you only "named evil as Satan." The she said, "For those lame-stream media characters to get all wee-weed up about that, first you have to ask yourself, have they ever, ever attended Sunday school. Have they never heard this terminology before?"

    Wait. Did Sarah Palin say that my name is nothing more than "terminology"? Get thee to a United Church of Christ! That's liberal-hippie talk!

    And excuse me, but "wee-weed up"? "Lame-stream"? Name-calling and scatological references are a great road to go down ... that is, if you're headed my way! But to we men of wealth and taste, it does sound a bit ... well, juvenile...

  11. I don't have cable TV and I will be working that night. Does anyone know of another way to watch this?

    I don't think Hulu shows HBO movies. Netflix might pick it up, but it will be a while before it would show it.

    I really want to see this one.

    Oh lordy, here we go again...more of this demented crap, this dominionist pandering, just pathetic. It's like these women are under some kind of spell:

    Karen Santorum: husband’s presidential run is ‘God’s will’

    Karen Santorum has been largely behind the scenes during the campaign, busy in part taking care of the couple’s youngest child, Bella, who suffers from a terminal disorder.

    She has been speaking out more lately, a shift that has coincided with growing concerns on the part of the Republican's supporters that his comments critical of contraception and some prenatal testing could harm his standing among women.

    She turned up on Beck’s Internet television show toward the end of a more extensive interview that began with Rick Santorum saying that his wife loves the talk-show host – “loves you more than me sometimes,” he joked.

    Karen Santorum also defended her husband’s performance in Wednesday's debate, saying that he was right to admit to having made mistakes while in Congress. She said it is inevitable to sometimes lose one’s way in Washington. “You really have to keep your prayer life in order,” she said, “and really keep faith and family the top priority always. And keep your feet on the ground. Because you can get lost.”

    Whoever got Palin to quit her job on the GOP side (Mary Matalin?) with whispers of "Make money writing a book. Make money on a reality show." Thank you. You were doing the work of the big shots in the GOP, as they knew as soon as she quit her job she would never hold elected office again. Palin smiled as she quit but the joke was on her.

  18. I hope HBO keeps showing these clips! This just keeps getting better every day!

    See the wonderful thing about the interviews with the actors are how SERIOUS they took the roles that they were playing!

    So you know it's hard for the bots' to keep complaining that "Game Change" is full of lies!

    I can not wait for this movie!

    Don't know if anyone else has pointed this out yet but I saw Frank Bailey's response to that email from her last night and he said: "Funny!"

    Evidently it was a joke within the administration. That doesn't mean that it wasn't being considered, just that it is documented as a joke. And that's how they'll spin it.

    Hey Anonymous @7:31 a.m, you must have a decent connection to upload a movie in 2 hours.

    You on Fios? You posting this to a Torrent site? Care to say which one?

    To the folks without HBO --

    If you have cable, see if you can view the movie "on demand". (meaning, pay for the single viewing)

    Palin says in the clip that she doesn't use bad language. Another lie! She has an awful potty mouth and it has been documented!! Just like McCain calling his wife the 'c' word! That is also on tape.

    If you have Netflix, you can now add it to your "Save" list. No information on when it will be available.

    The best part is checking to see what other movies are considered similar in case you want to add those to your list!

    These include "Hannibal"- a prequel to "Silence of the Lambs"

    "After the Sunset", description: "After one last heist, Max decides to retire from crime with his cunning wife, Lola"

    and "Bay Cove": A young newlywed couple moves into a remote village...only to find a secret coven of witches that demand they join their circle".

    Make it a crime-themed marathon and pass the popcorn!
