Tonight's major motion picture wasn't a premiere because I watched it a few years back: Nixon (1995), being Oliver Stone's take on the career of the eponymous disgrace to the office. Despite the cowardly attempt in the voiceover bit at the end to make out that he had some redeeming features and is deserving of reconsideration, I abide by Dr Hunter S. Thompson's view: "He could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time… If the right people had been in charge of Nixon’s funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man… Evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it… Honest historians will remember him mainly as a rat who kept scrambling to get back on the ship."
Goodnight all
