Current Events at the Movies

Would you like to follow current events, but find them depressing and hard to relate to?  If so, let me help.  Here are current events and public figures put to movies.  This may help you find things more relatable and more palatable.

Remember that Willie Nelson classic western, Barbarossa?  In that cinema great, Willie played a man with an ongoing feud with a powerful family.  The modern remake of the movie makes a bold casting decision by naming a black woman to be the lead.  Omarosa Manigault-Newman is taking on the role.  The remake will be called Omarosa.

Former White House communications staffer, Hope Hicks, is considering two movie projects.  One is a remake of the Sandra Bullock vehicle, Hope Floats.  The other is a story of survival called Hope Flips.

There has been much speculation about what role first lady, Melanie Trump, might eventually play.  There is some thought she may star in a modern day rendition of The Goodbye Girl.  So far those talks haven’t gained any traction.

Not to be outdone, White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders, has also been offered a revision of an old Shirley MacLaine role.  Sanders has been offered the role of a religious woman who verbally slaughters sheep like journalists who annoy her.  The original MacLaine movie was Two Mules for Sister Sara.  The remake is Two Ewes for Sister Sarah.

Stormy Daniels has also been in the news.  Recently she was arrested in Ohio for doing her striptease act.  The police say it was just a coincidence, but Daniels attorney says  she was targeted because of her relationship with Donald Trump.  The movie that may come out of the situation is tentatively titled, Stormy Troopers.

Robert Mueller also hasn’t escaped the movie craze.  He’s up to star in an updated version of Romancing the Stone.  Be on the lookout for Romancing the Roger Stone soon.

Remember that expensive cinema flop, Heavens Gate?  A legal drama is being put together about a man who committed numerous famous crimes during a presidential campaign. The working title is, Good Heavens Gates!

Congressmen are also getting involved.  In one of a number of his forgettable movies, Kevin Costner played a guy in a post-apocalyptic world who started delivering the mail.  Rand Paul does a similar thing, delivering mail from the US to Russia in the modern remake of The Postman.

In a group of movies that desperately needs a comedic break, along comes the remake of a Pauly Shore movie.  You might recall, or quite possibly not, remember Shore playing a fish out of water in Son in Law.  Jared Kushner is playing the title role of the remake to decidedly mixed reviews.

There you have it.  You’ll probably never thing of some of your favorite movies in the same light again.
