one of my favorite sf movie traditions is hiring a serious british actor (alec guinness, judi dench, sian phillips, etc) to appear in your space wizard film to try and give it a touch of gravitas

judi Dench in riddick was hilarious. I hope they paid her a lot for that

in one of the futurama commentary tracks they're discussing their obsessions with various presidents - lincoln because he looks so funny, and nixon because "he was our nation's most evil president"

groening has terminal boomerbrain but his hatred for nixon always ran strong and pure, even back in his "life in hell" days

the purest and most powerful hatred of nixon dwelled in the heart of hunter s thompson, of course: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1994/07/he-was-a-crook/308699/

right up there with dfw's essay about spending a week on a cruise ship as the best non-fiction writing of the 1990s

quote:

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 and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal ... His body should have been burned in a trash bin.

These are harsh words for a man ... but I have written worse things about Nixon, many times, and the record will show that I kicked him repeatedly long before he went down. I beat him like a mad dog with mange every time I got a chance, and I am proud of it. He was scum.

Let there be no mistake in the history books about that. Richard Nixon was an evil man -- evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency.
aaaah, that's the stuff
