Oliver Stone is known for not caring about historical accuracy, so don't take it as a serious biopic (I don't). But it still looks interesting.

I bet it's like "She's All That" but with President's and recordifiers and stuff.

I'd be more interested if it was a sing-along-blog.

I can't tell if it's supposed to be a comedy or a tragedy.

Young George W. looks like a trashy, lascivious hooligan. I'm surprised that I don't like him more.

Did anybody else notice that Bush is Mikey's brother on Goonies?

Oh Ollie, Ollie, Ollie!
There you go again making stuff up to satisfy your many inner personal demons. Gee Oliver...did Lyndon Johnson REALLY sign on board with Kennedy assassination conspirators just because they said he would get the nomination for President? DID he REALLY say " I'll give you your damn war, now just get me elected."...OR is that something you just threw into your movie because you wanted to blame LBJ for your poor decision to enlist for Viet Nam. And if those lies upset his wife, family, and friends, and showed the whole world that America's really just a banana republic, so much the better, right? At least you had the minor decency to wait until he was dead as you also did for Nixon. Boy, W. must really drive you nuts, like a lot of folks here at FFF. But at least here most folks, even hard-core ideologues, respect the truth. And by the way Mr. Stone, who wrote this piece of garbage? Did your great friend and hero Castro help any? After all, as you said, he's one of the wisest men on Earth, and you look to him for inspiration.

Oh, and finally, Mr. Stone...did you have a good supply of your favorite marijuana on hand during the making of W? We all know it's a big part of your lifestyle, as you seem to get arrested by the police regularly. Everybody knows that smoking pot makes for better storytelling!

Agreed...

I absolutely loathe the man on every possible level, but I believe this trash as much as I believe the WACO story as told by CBS or NBC or whatever back in the day.

They get a story everybody knows SOMETHING about and fill it in with a bunch of drama written by the people who brought you CSI and American Idol.

I usually give things 50/50, but I'm not buying most of this. Given the general, deserved, hatered for the man I view this as an attempt to profit off of it, add a little "Natural Born Killers" to it and brainwash the proles into thinking that the events in this movie is exactly how real life went down.

It's reverse reality TV, or reality TV after-the-fact...... Like reality books in Social Studies when we were kids....

Remember when Christoper Columbus was a hero and not a slave trading Indian hater? Or was that Christopher Cross....? I'm such a confused prole.... too much beer and cake and circus. OJ did it, Michael Jackson should be behind bars, Brett Favre should be able to play, go Cubs!

Sailing.... takes me awaaaaaayyyyyyy.....

6ix, you're a riot! Don't worry about this movie. It will be a gigantic flop just like Stone's World Trade Center was...as was Redacted, Rendition, Lions For Lambs, and a dozen other anti-American pieces of junk. Most Americans are fair-minded, and can recognize liberal revisionist horseshit when they see it. And if Stone is looking to ignite some debate about morality and lifestyle with McCain & Obama, he should re-consider that. The Obama's don't give their kids Christmas presents or Birthday presents, as reported in a recent interview. Now that's f'ing un-American!

I agree, it comes across as being something along those lines.

I think a movie about him is way too premature, they should've waited for a couple of years and let the dust settle a bit. Maybe it'll be a decent flick, but I won't be watching this.

Yeah... heh... I've been on a positive kick recently.... A man against the tide you could say.

Here's hoping all our real worries aren't over so I can continue to shine

Actually, I have thought about not celebrating Christmas myself. I think that there is a real psychological impact on a kid when they realize that their parents were lying to them on such a basic level for so many years and it is likely why there is so much anti-trust between adults and children later in life. I've never done a scientific study on it, other than my own life of course, but I'm just not a fan....

They'll get presents like the other kids do, but they will appreciate them and be taught how things really are.

Personally, I don't belive that's unAmerican. Santa wasn't around when the Constitution was signed... at least not the Santa that makes billions of dollars for Toys 'R Us over the decades anyhow.

Fuck Obama anyways.

Omen 3 Chris? C'mon, you're smart and you're a film buff too, you can do better than that! How about Creature From the Black Oil Well, or The Day That Intelligence Stood Still, or maybe I Married A Monster From Outer Crawford?

6ix, you got the line of the day. Who else could work a Christopher Cross reference in a rant on revisionist history!

You're not wrong.

This issue is explored a little bit here.

The Lies We Tell Kids.
http://www.paulgraham.com/lies.html

I think you'd find it very interesting, Jack.

I make a point NOT to lie to kids, and from many of them, especially my niece and her friends, have learned that kids are far, FAR from being as uninformed, clueless, or irresponsible as we think they are.

But they wall US off with lies too, carefully memorised set-piece crap in an almost challenge-response pattern - if they don't TRUST you, they'll parrot the socially acceptable response and play dumb at you, every time.

You have to really *earn* their trust and respect in order to get past that wall, and hear what they really think, and even then a poker face is advised cause kids come up with some STRANGE* ideas and concepts sometimes...

-Frem
* - For a few months after a certain Xmas when she was real little, my niece thought I WAS Santa Claus... Michigan is cold, way up north, and somehow she got it mixed up with the north pole, and the armloads of presents sealed the issue for her, in spite of the fact that I am neither fat, nor jolly... kids are weird.

I know I aint' off my rocker there Frem.

Nobody in my family gets why I would "deprive my kids of Christmas", but I clearly remember when I figured out there was no Santa. It was shortly after my parents got a divorce and I was laying down on my bed and my mom was there after I went to the doctors office for something or other. I said to my mom "There really isn't a Santa, is there" and she replied "Well, I'd like to think there's a little Santa in all of us".....

I know my mom and I have had more than our fair share of anymosity and bitterness between each other over the years, but she didn't lie to me when I called her on it and I think that is a pretty damn good response given the fact I was about 5 or 6 when I figured that it was a dream on my own.

Oh sweet Raptor Jesus!!!
Please tell me this is a fake, or at least a parody of some kind!

I'd have thought that most americans would want Bush to be forgotten, consigned to the dusty annals of history as a bad joke t obe laughed at in hindsight during better days, NOT to be glorified in a biopic....

I mean, dear god, i'm embarrassed about that he was elected (twice) and i'm not even american.

LOL... I'm sure he's not glorified man... No worries.

He might be glorified in the sense that Woody Harrelson's Mickey was glorified in Natural Born Killers, as in that the movie is currently being blamed for some ugly looking prick strangling his beautiful girlfriend to death while he was "sleeping" after they watched it.

Notoriety is just as important as the benevolent flipside. Do you think we're better or worse off for having remembered Nixon?
