Have you seen this?
http://www.hinckleymovie.com/hinckleyfilm.htmMy favorite line:
"Before he was an older man ... he was a younger man."

Personality cult, anyone?
Hinckley was a likable enough guy, I'll grant, and while I was a believer, he was my favorite GA for many years. But this is hero worship, essentially. And it's the same with the all the movies glorifying Joseph Smith.

The best thing Pres Hinckley did, in all the good things he did, was to put a chain on BKP.

I think that gives you a fair idea of the creative powers at work here.

That about covers it. Not much more to say, really.

Hmmm
I think I will stick to official biographies.

Crickey dick! I thought it was the start of a spoof. But it looks real!

No, actually there's not much to say, just read, listen his (GBH's) interviews with media.
Show me one that is coherent, contains more than quarter truth. He evenhandedly started the demise of the
church. So much dis ingenuity, lies, propaganda's he perpetrated.
Well... not a pretty picture we see at the end.
Oh, wait, do you recall, he was saying; "No tithing money will be spent on downtown building".
The cost is already tripled.
Try to sell that now.
I am very glad he didn't manage my corporation. I know what fiscal responsibility is.
I have no doubt BKP is much better leader.

That's about as lame of a quote as the title of one of Sherri Dew's empty books, "If Life Were Easy, It Wouldn't Be Hard".
Mormons don't fire on all cylinders.

He was an administrator and a corporation PR man all his life. He didn't even serve in war. What is there about his life that could possibly fill up 120 minutes of cinema time?
