His politics aren't that different from hers. They both support Sanders. They broke up over 10 years ago, so it was before Trump.

And it's incredible. Incredibly scary. Tim Robbins so thoroughly inhabits that character, that I've always been a bit leery of Robbins ever since. Even though I realize actors are not the people they portray.

says, "I just wish there was a way to vote for you a hundred times" and Roberts says, "Oh, there is actually." Pause. "Just kidding."

That's both creepy and spot on right now.

That movie really was years ahead of its time.

It's sad that trust in what the truth is has fallen so low since then, though.
