LBJ: Werewolf Killer


Not even the charismatic JFK could subdue LBJ’s white hot hatred of werewolves!

The new movie LBJ: Werewolf Killer opened this past weekend with an astounding $1.2 billion in worldwide ticket sales. The movie is based on Robert Caro’s 2008 bestseller Ascent to Hairy & Vicious Fangs of Death!

While I thought the film was very good, I did question the casting of Peter Dinklage as LBJ. He appeared to have some trouble with the Texas accent to me.

The film accurately depicts the struggles Johnson faced with both the Viet Nam war and the invasion of an army of werewolves every full moon. Yet, somehow, LBJ kicked some werewolf ass and kept our country safe.

Charlize Theron was a particularly inspired choice in the role of Lady Bird Johnson. One of the highlights of the film is her impassioned speech to her husband and a full session of Congress admonishing the littering of dead werewolves across the nation. This famous speech became the bedrock for her ‘beautify America’ campaign. Ben Kingsley turns in one of the strongest performances of his distinguished career as Hellcat Hairy, the leader of the werewolves who had the iconic catchphrase, “Let’s eat some faces, wolvies, me hungie!”

All in all, a good flick that ranks right up there with other prez bio classic like James C. Polk: Zombie Slayer and U.S. Grant: Ghost Whacker. Catch this flick now!

  1. Thanks, Patrick! Now I know what made Lady Bird started planting all those wildflowers near freeways. Will run right out and buy a ticket.

  2. You’re welcome, Kitty. I believe it’s every journalist’s duty to open the eyes of the public to the truth, and the dangers of werewolves and other creatures who pose a threat to continued heartbeats.

    Enjoy the movie!

  3. Hate to break it to y’all, while I think LBJ was great, he wasn’t as successful at eliminating those shapeshifters as he lead others to believe. They just remained somewhat quiet down here and have recently re-emerged as the Tea Party. Still going for blood but trying to pretend they are doing it for their country.

  4. Thanks, Sandy. That’s an interesting perspective. I have seen some of the Tea Party people on TV and they do look hairier than the average bear.

    You may be on to something…

  5. The book was a classic. I don’t see how the movie can do it justice. I think I’ll skip it.

  6. The book was/is pretty terrific. No, the movie does not quite capture the pathos of LBJ and Hubert Humphrey in their quest to kill werewolves as Robert Caro wrote about their adventures in the pages, but, a very riveting tale is told on the silver screen.

    Give it a go, Bill, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

    Oh, and avoid the Broadway production altogether. It’s just bad!
