Isn't there a movie out called "Elvis and Nixon?"?

If there was there wouldn’t be much to say.

Think it was about the lead up to the meeting between the two and what happened afterwards. Elvis wanting to get some type of narc appointment from Nixon and Nixon wanting to look cool to younger voters.

I read “My Life With Elvis” by Priscilla. She touched on his meeting with Nixon.
I think that book would make.a much better movie.

Agreed! And longer lol

Elvis and Nixon, 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_%26_Nixon

Off topic but is Priscilla still alive?

@NoMoreY_Aagain: Yes.

Ok, haven’t heard much out of her lately.

@jca2 that link didn’t work for some reason..but thanks now at least I know I wasn’t imagining things :)

She was born in 1945. She’s probably just hanging out enjoying life, @NoMoreY_Aagain. She is financially stable, doesn’t need to work. If she needed money, she’d be in the public eye, working.

I am not sure why the link is not working. I just tried it again and same thing.

I googled “Elvis and Nixon documentary” and I got the Wiki article about it.

Ok got it that tIme, thanks!

Must not have done good box office. I just wanted to see it because I’m a history buff. But it seems like it just disappeared off planet.

Well Elvis was a bit of a pedophile. Priscilla caught his eye when she was 15 and he was 30. Talked her parents into letting her move in with him.
He teased her but refused to have sex with her until she was 18.
So she lived in his mansion and on her 18th birthday, or shortly thereafter, he married her and had intercourse with her.
She immediately became pregnant. It skeeved him out to have sex with a pregnant woman and, above all sex with a woman who was a mother!
So then they divorced.

@ Dutchess_III Not only a pedo but a nut job too then. Has sex with a woman and then blows her off if she becomes a mom? Always figured that was the normal way of things? But Tricky Dick Nixon was strange too. No wonder they hit it off.

It was an odd movie but it should still be on Netflix.

Yes, it came out in 2016 Michael Shannon played Elvis with Kevin Spacey as Nixon.It’s supposed to be a true story. I don’t think it faired very well. This is what IMDB had to say about it. IF you have Amazon Prime, you can watch it for free through their streaming service

Thanks to all. Thought I was losing it. I know I saw the ads on tv then it just disappeared.

I saw that moviea couple years ago. It’s actually pretty funny.
Elvis is trying to manipulate Nixon into giving him a federal agent badge, so he can take guns on a plane.

I never saw the movie but I did see a documentary (PBS maybe?) about it. It was interesting.

@NoMoreY_Aagain Priscilla had a botched facelift, got tired of the snarky comments, turned Graceland over to Lisa Marie,and pretty much retired

Among other things, Elviis had Mommy Issues and felt guilty that he lived when his twin brother was born dead. He seemed to have a lot of issues in his lifetime

I know that the photo of Nixon and Elvis shaking hands at the White House has become an almost iconic pic from U.S. history, akin to the Arizona burning at Pearl Harbor or the painting of Lees surrender at Appamotox. Go figure.

@SEKA. That’s true, also see DutchessIII comment above, re: his attitude toward Prescilla. I’ve always thought he was kind of flakey anyway…
..

@NoMoreY_Aagain I guess that it’s all in how you look at it. I don’t see him as a pedophile, but a man who fell in love with a young lady and respected her enough to wait until she was of age to have sex. You might be surprised to discover how many men stop having sex with their wives after the baby comes. It’s not that uncommon. A lot of wives lose interest in sex after having their baby as well

@SEKA That may be true with some couples. But in my experience…well guess I’ll have to “Take the Fifth” on that one, on the grounds that I won’t incriminate my relationship.LOL

Jailhouse Crook?

It’s an Amazon Original movie which might be why it disappeared so fast. Amazon has a short attention span!!! With the current impeachment, Nixon’s name is coming up a lot so it gives them the opportunity to promote themselves once again.

You might want to read this. I think it’s the same link that @jca was offering.

He had a mom-thing that’s always stuck me as weird.

His twin was born dead 35 minutes before he was born. The family placed the baby’s dead body in a box & placed it on the table to wait for the other baby to be born. He felt it traumatized his mother to have to look at her dead baby while waiting on her live baby & he tried to make it up to her for as long as she lived. He felt that no woman should have to experience the saddest moment of her life at the same time experiencing the happiest moment of her life & he felt guilty for having any part in it.

@NoMoreY_Aagain Don’t waste your time watching this movie. It’s boring & the longest 90 minutes I’ve ever wasted…I kept thinking something was going to happen, but it NEVER did!!!

@LadyMarrisa thanks for the tip. I guess the trailer was the best part of the movie : )

I hadn’t seen the trailer, but the movie sucked raw eggs!!!

Siskal and Ebert ain’t ever around when you need ‘em. ; )

They both died, so never again
