Call Me, Judd Apatow... Ringy Dingy. |
What's needed is a game changer. Something no ex-president has ever done. Something to put you back on the map, and reestablish your bad boy cred. But what? Its got to be cool but incredibly un-presidential. Maybe try acting? Actors have become presidents, but no president has ever become an actor. It's just not what ex-presidents do. But no president ever misused a cigar before you either. You're Bill Fucking Clinton, and if you want to be in a movie then you'll be in a G.D. movie. And forget classy. None of that prestige picture crap those Weinstein boys produce. What you're thinking about is The Hangover 2. You loved the first movie. Four drunken degenerates lost in Las Vegas with a hooker, her baby and Mike Tyson. Totally been there. Classic Bill. Fuck if the 90s didn't rule all. Plus it's filming in Thailand. What could go wrong? You know they got themselves an island called Phuket? Nothing says dignity of the Office of the President like a cameo in a raunchy sex comedy.
And now, in honor of this historic moment, a very silly list of presidential sequels:
John F. Kennedy in... In The Line of Fire 2: This Time It's Personal
Calvin Coolidge... Born on the Forth of July 2
Abraham Lincoln in... Tyler Perry's Gettysburg Address
Thomas Jefferson in... Jungle Fever 2: Hot Monticello Nights
Richard Nixon in... The Jerk 2
Lyndon B. Johnson in... Platoon 2: Westmoreland's Revenge
Dwight Eisenhower in... Caddyshack 3: The 19th Hole
Barack Obama in... Guess Who's Coming to the State Dinner
Ulysses S. Grant in... Saw 7: Grant's Tomb
Theodore Roosevelt in... The Fast and the Furious: Rough Riders
George H. W. Bush in... Bedtime for Bonzo 2
George W. Bush in... Dr. Strangelove 2: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and
Love Manufacturing Evidence as a Pretext for War
Can anyone add to slash improve on this list?
Jimmy Carter could have a cameo in... Coach Carter 2: Playing for Peanuts
ReplyDeleteThis list feels ripe for a weekend at Bernie's 2 reference... but I can't figure out which president. Grover Cleveland perhaps?
ReplyDeleteCould John Adams and John Q Adams star in something together?
FDR in My Left Foot 2. Too soon?
Quality.
ReplyDeleteWe were thinking of Adams Family Business for them, but somehow it didn't make the cut.
