Kneel before Zod

Bad Movie Knights - Bad Movie Review
"You are not the President. No one who leads so many could possibly kneel so quickly."

Exactly Zod. Exactly.

In Hollywood, some films require the appearance of the President of the United States. Rather than date said film by giving us an actor impersonating the current President in office, most movie makers choose to create a fictional President..... an act that we refer to as Kneel before Zod.

Kneel before Zod is a Bad Movie Knights glossary term that also celebrates the casual selection by a Casting Director of any thespian to play this made up President of the United States of America, thus further destroying the credibility and believability of this role. In most cases, the role in said movie is arbitrary, and contains a few poetic lines, and our Kneel before Zod President is represented by the standard old guy. However, some movies require an actor who can actually perform (even though in most cases of Kneel before Zod, they cannot) so we get a name actor portraying the leader of the free world. Dan Akroyd, Jeff and Lloyd Bridges, Harrison Ford, Gene Hackman (two time KBZer), Bill Pullman, Dennis and Randy Quaid have all Knelt before Zod.

While viewing a masterpiece during your Bad Movie Night, and you witness a President that you are fairly certain that you yourself or no one else voted for (Bush not included), then you are Kneeling before Zod.

Timothy Dalton is the one true James Bond,

Ah yes, and who can ever forget the role Morgan Freeman took up in Deep Impact, playing a president who was actually well spoken, widely respected, highly intelligent and... black. Like any of those things would ever happen in the real world...
