The words used by the cast include Bizarre, Insane, Ridiculous and Crazy (which seems to be the KEY Word) used by all. That's how they describe Elvis and this very important event to Elvis himself and historically. They laugh away telling the story and mentioning that Elvis was carrying a fire arm and had one as a gift for the president. This happened in 1970. Maybe in 2016 this might be odd to a few. But this is America where we have a right to bear arms. No matter what he gave the president, it would be made to be odd and strange. The media loves to make Elvis an odd ball, weird, strange and CRAZY. Listen as Alex says when he saw the photo of Elvis with Nixon, he didn't even think it was real. And that's the big problem with the media and all these movies that poke fun at Elvis, recreate history for entertainment and make him a fictional character like Santa Claus. Alex's generation is already thinking this way. Future generations may not ever know there r...

Kevin Spacey who plays Elvis in the latest trash movie about Elvis was on the Late Show last night telling the story of Elvis meeting Nixon. I want to note that Spacey claims the guards at the white house thought Elvis Presley was an Elvis impersonator. I never heard this before. And how many Elvis impersonators were there back then? Sensationalism at it's best. Update: I have found that the guards said a guy who looks A LOT like Elvis Presley. To be fair. BUT the term, Elvis Impersonator, not known back then. Sorry. Another thing I have noticed while promoting this film are the buzz words the cast uses to desrcibe Elvis and this historical event. These words include CRAZY and Bizarre. So now younger generations will laugh at this important event and think of Elvis as Crazy and Bizarre. Well done Jerry! And to the fans who go and pay $$$$ to see this movie, in my opinion Elvis would be very hurt by this film because he felt so strongly about this and he would especially b...

Here is a bit of an article from Newsweek  which I feel the need to challenge. Who wore it best? Newsweek :  The hair is immediately recognizable, the outfit unmistakable: It’s Elvis—except he’s taller, skinnier and looks nothing like the King. BIM :  Really? REALLY? Taller and skinnier? Let's remember Elvis has a coat wrapped around his shoulders in the photos.Outfit unmistakable? Come on.....MS is wearing a typical ETA outfit while Elvis is decked out! I do agree MS looks NOTHING like Elvis. NOTHING! One of the LEAST attractive actors to play the MOST HANDSOME MAN EVER????? While Magic Mike HUNK plays Jerry? Read on for the media spin.....Don't be fooled! Newsweek :  When Michael Shannon signed on to star in Elvis & Nixon, he was “not a huge Elvis Presley aficionado.” The actor, known for his creepily intense portrayals in theater (Bug), television (Boardwalk Empire) and movies (Revolutionary Road), admits he isn’t great at mimicry, and...

Elvis Presley - THE King of Rock n Roll! Elvis Lives! purports to take the legend of rock ‘n’ roll icon Elvis Presley to the next level, wondering, “What if Elvis never really left the building?” Per AXS-TV, in round numbers: Plagued by drug addiction and a failing voice , the King is desperate to make things right with himself, his deceased brother and God. His attempts to get back on track are thwarted, however, after he helps the cops bring down a powerful crime syndicate — putting his family in danger and sending him on a journey that will change his life forever. “When the decision was made to develop AXS TV’s first original made-for-TV movie, I knew I had to get The Asylum team involved because it was a great experience working with them on Sharknado 3,” Cuban said. “They’re the perfect fit to bring this wild ride to life as we celebrate the life and legacy of the the King’s reign, crafting a unique and original storyline that explores the well-known conspiracy theor...
