BULLY!

Thats a good point. We've got Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln for Thankgiving and Bill Murray's FDR pic comes out this Christmas. Why hasn't there been a big Teddy biopic? You'd think they'd be at least some story to tell about the first president of the twentieth century!

Lincoln, Kennedy and Nixon are just spotlight hogs I tell you.

I agree. I'd love to see a good movie about Teddy.

It's too bad Brian Keith died. He would have made an awesome Teddy. They'd probably cast Anthony Hopkins. What do you think?

Brian did play Teddy in "The Wind And The Lion" and he was Bully good.
Tom Berenger made a good Teddy in the Rough Riders tv movie.

If Lincoln does well we will see a ton of Presidential biopics. I am hoping to learn more about Chester A. Arthur.

Anthony Hopkins was already Nixon so I doubt he'd be in the front running for Teddy.

We need someone big and boisterous for the part. Wilfred Brimely and Richard Riehle both have the physical stance and the 'stache. Maybe we should use the nation's remaining supply of Twinkies to help Sam Elliot bulk up for the role.

I always imagine Teddy to have a great voice like Sam Elliot.

Didn't Robin Williams do a good job of him in one of those Night at the Museum movies?

I had forgotten about that performance.
