A new movie, "Bombshell," is coming out soon with the aim of exposing the late ROGER AILES, former Chairman and CEO of FoxNews, as a serial abuser of women. My wife and I probably WON'T go see it, because honestly it CAN'T POSSIBLY be a "Bombshell" in terms of being "explosive" with new revelations about Ailes.
Here's the trailer...https://deadline.com/2019/08/margot-robbie-charlize-theron-nicole-kidman-roger-ailes-jay-roach-movie-bombshell-trailer-1202700698/
(Wow, Charlize Theron, on the left in the photo, DOES look like Megyn Kelly!!)
Anyway, before I get accused of being unwilling to keep an open mind about AILES, you should know that my wife and I did watch that entire 7 part mini-series, "The Loudest Voice," (the one where RUSSELL CROWE played Roger.) And I just don't see how ANY movie could paint a better picture of Ailes's sins than THAT over-the-top portrayal did. There can't possibly be MORE stuff of a major nature that we need to know about the guy, and John Lithgow can't POSSIBLY "capture" Ailes better than CROWE did....so why watch??
Yes, Ailes WAS undoubtedly guilty of sexual harassment and I've come to admire Gretchen Carlson so much for speaking up, that I ordered one of her books and plan to read it soon. But "Bombshell"?? I don't know, what more can a two hour movie reveal that a SEVEN hour mini-series MISSED?? And how much lurid, creepy stuff do we need to fill our minds with, to be reasonably informed??
UNDOUBTEDLY "Bombshell" will have the same final, fatal flaw that "The Loudest Voice" had...the movie will try to tie Ailes to PRESIDENT TRUMP and ALL male Republicans who like Fox News and say we are ALL abusers of women. (Yeah, right...just like we're all RACISTS, Lol!!)
If they called the movie "Bombshells," plural, as in "Blonde Bombshells," well THAT would have more credibility as this movie obviously made these three look more beautiful than "The Loudest Voice" did! But sorry....I don't buy "Bombshell," singular, as being a plausible title.
"Bombshell"? I don't think so...in fact, I believe the movie will just be a BOMB.
