The newish montage for the screen version of Watchmen, has a fine scene of the Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger characters about mid way through it (video). Looks like they finally found an actor who could do the nose.

I think that was always the toughest part of Watchmen to swallow, the fact that Nixon was still president in the 80s. Super heros with no powers? Sure, flying owl ships running on batteries, ok. Naked blue demi-gods? I guess. Nixon reelected that many times? What?
Well the Comedian did kill Woodward and Bernstein didn’t he? Prior to their arrival on the stage, Nixon was the most popular president in American history.
I can’t remember the last time I was looking forward to a film this much.
But who is the actor???
Looked like Gary Oldman under all that latex.
One toothy breath intake reminded me of his role in Hannibal.
The persistance of Kissinger to engage America in war with Russia corrilates to Jews symbiotic relationships with their hosts throughout all of history. Kissinger is newish, I mean Jewish. Wouldn’t they rumble under breath at Dr Manhatten’s uncircumcised penis.
