go back and watch platoon or NBK or JFK again. Melodramatic, self important schlock.

Looks like amateur night. The actors in that fake play in "Waiting for Guffman" were more convincing.

with that panicky quick switch editing style.
Alcoholism, Cocaine, Extreme Wealth, Oil, Jebus, and Idiocy by LaserPants	Aug 29th, 2008 08:50:15 AM
These six simple ingredients helped bring us the WORST President in US history, and one of the top ten worst world leaders in human history itself -- George "Monkey-HItler" DUBYA Bush. This movie will suck, but it will be totally fucking hilariously bad, and therefore entertaining as an unintentional comedy on par with Showgirls. BUT, the real entertainment is going to come from the ultra-right-wing psychotics of the screaming head neo-con propagandist punditocracy. FOX News is literally going to be the FUNNIEST FUCKING THING IN THE WORLD when this movie comes out, and even funnier when Obama takes the White House. Gonna be a HILARIOUS next couple of months.
Who knew G.W.B. could have entertainment value? by nomihs	Aug 29th, 2008 08:50:55 AM
Overrated or now, O. Stone is getting my attention with W. I may not plunk down full price for this one, but a matinee is not out of the question. And Banks is worth viewing in WHATEVER she does. She's reading from the Phoenix yellow pages? SHIT YEAH, I am THERE!
HOLY FUCKBALLS by Rick Flemming	Aug 29th, 2008 08:53:09 AM
This guy looks just like George W... Well, not really. Can't wait to see this Diarrhea downpour. flemmingonfilms.blogspot.com
This Clip Is HILARIOUS by LaserPants	Aug 29th, 2008 08:53:27 AM
I like how he gets all flustered by the idea of books and reading! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh man, this going to be FUCKING GREAT! Can. Not. Wait! Cmon neocon fucks, get the anger going! Entertain us! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The actress playing Laura is hot.. by malificus	Aug 29th, 2008 08:59:05 AM
..big heaping loads of potato salad and everyone wearing those stupid-assed ten gallon Yosetime Sam hats. Yeehaw Stone will make end up making a hero out of this collosal jackass by giving him a reformed bad boy image when he's really just a pathetic, chimp-faced punk of privilege. This is gonna suck as bad as the last 7 years so i guess in that way Stone is accurate.
I prefer Brolin when he was PW. by kronos6948	Aug 29th, 2008 09:05:19 AM
and boy, was Dottie hot!

It reeks of novelty but I'm chomping at the bit to see it.
Do you smell what Barack is cooking?????????? by crackerfarmboy	Aug 29th, 2008 09:38:49 AM
OBAMA coming to a white house near you!
Brolin impresses. by SmilingPolitely	Aug 29th, 2008 09:51:15 AM
I'm strangely looking forward to this. It'll make for an interesting pairing with "An American Carol" come October.
Stone and bios by Jonah_Lamu	Aug 29th, 2008 09:56:26 AM
I think Stones has given us some very passionate and emotional biographies like The Doors, Born on the 4th of July and Nixon. His politics usually overshadow his film making which I always find interesting. I was one of the few people who liked Alexander. This movie should be really good. We'll start pitying W as well as hating his guts.
this movie is going to be hilarious by Gungan Slayer	Aug 29th, 2008 09:58:18 AM

Is this movie going to make me LIKE Dubya? by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Aug 29th, 2008 10:12:27 AM

Dubya's a badass!! by T 1000 xp professional	Aug 29th, 2008 10:18:58 AM
Brolin's tapping into his badass side lol.. a man's man baby

" I may not plunk down"... Come on, man. What is with fanboys saying things like: "shelling out" and "ten big clams". It's like some weak attempt at sounding semi-poor.

Texas will flip Dem pretty soon... by SmilingPolitely	Aug 29th, 2008 11:41:03 AM
What with the black and hispanic population increasing at the rate it is and all.
Palin, eh...? by Half-Baked-Goggle-Box-Do-Gooder	Aug 29th, 2008 12:04:12 PM
Smartest move McCain's made in the entire campaign, Which ain't saying much. I suspect the real reason he picked her is because she'll let him sink oil wells anywhere in Alaska that Mobil / Exxon damn well please...
McCain Picks Palin As Veep!! by loserguy3000	Aug 29th, 2008 12:04:30 PM
Hey AICN News, Despite the Democrat ball-licking here from the likes of Harry and Company (as opposed to Republican ball-licking elsewhere) I think this talkback is a fine place to say how excited I am that McCain picked a fine VP choice with Gov. Palin of Alaska. I know plenty of talkbackers here trend one way or another (much more fairly than the editorial leadership), but damn this has been an interesting election on both sides. While I tend to go with McCain this time around, its been fun watching Obama make history. Of course, simply making history does not entitle one to become history. Obama should no further be entitled to the presidency because of his skin tone as McCain because of his Veep pick. But to rile you fellows up, I thought it was funny that Obama's campaign immediately shot back at McCain's "bad choice" at putting someone without "any foreign policy experience" within a heartbeat of the presidency. Their words...look it up. As opposed to putting someone with zero foreign policy experience as the president? They also went on to say that with Palin as the Veep that "experience was off the table". This is too much fun... this is too much fucking fun. On with the show, and btw "W" movie still looks like preposterous shit on a stick! For the zealots only, but as history shows they'll ignore it anyway!

oh you poor, poor aryan.
Palin is a bad choice. by Ultron ver 2.0	Aug 29th, 2008 12:09:51 PM
It's a transparent move to grab the disgruntled Hillary voters, but a pro-life ex-beauty queen isn't what the Hillary camp is looking for. Palin's lack of experience cancels out the argument of Obama's experience, especially when you consider McCains health/age. Ballsy move, but John shoulda grabbed Condi Rice as vp.
Empathy for Bush? by Darth Macchio	Aug 29th, 2008 12:11:48 PM
Why not? Taken out of his current context, he's probably a decent enough guy. Probably a nice guy, I'm sure. Maybe somewhat snobby coming from his background like most of us would be to any given extent (altho using someone else's sweater to clean his glasses has got to be asshole any way you slice it)...but my guess is he's just a normal American asshole; not some evil robot or anti-christ or any other chicken-little-we're-doomed bullshit. Basically a completely normal American for the most part. If this portrayal attempts to be true to that reality (if it is reality) then I'm glad because regardless of the history of this administration, these are real people who actually believe they're right and doing the right thing for their version of America. They may be wrong depending on your viewpoint, shit, they may be criminals depending on your viewpoint...but that IS the point. If this is about history it should be objective but it's not, it's about Bush, and, as such, should paint the most accurate portrayal of the man. Anything less would be eaten alive in seconds by either side of the partisan divide ya know?
I gotta agree with Merrick by Thrillho77	Aug 29th, 2008 12:12:57 PM
Dubya rocked the Olympics. It was so weird, because I'm not a huge fan of the guy - but I was actually proud to see him there - reppin' the hell out of our country. I guess when you line him up with the leaders of other countries, you see that we could surely be worse off. That still doesn't mean we don't deserve much better as a nation. But maybe it helps you sleep easier at night? XD
You were proud to see him there? by samsquanch	Aug 29th, 2008 12:27:18 PM
Do you also applaud serial killers for their 'technique'?
Goldwater by Handsomeherdman	Aug 29th, 2008 12:32:44 PM
Bush and the Neo-cons may claim to read Goldwater, but they soundly reject his true Conservative/Libertarian ideals of freedom, equality, capitalism, and (gasp)pro-choice. Goldwater was a god, Bush is an embarrassment.
I want box office predictions, by YouAreAllMyBastardChildren	Aug 29th, 2008 12:36:08 PM
Not your bullshit politics! Come now, my little bastards, put on your prognostication hats and predict. I say $20 million tops.
McCain no longer has a right to attack Obamas.... by IndustryKiller!	Aug 29th, 2008 01:15:42 PM
Youth and inexperience. now that he's chosen someone with far less time int he public arena as his running mate. Conservative broads....can't live with 'em, can't shoot 'em.
Palin? Was Hariet Miers too busy? by Rev. Slappy	Aug 29th, 2008 01:26:46 PM
What a horrible choice.
McCain had to do something after last nights speech! by ganymede3010	Aug 29th, 2008 02:28:03 PM
McCain had to do something to steal the headlines from last nights speech. That speech was watched by more Americans then the Olympic opening ceremony. Obama's acceptance speech was an unrivaled spectacle of epic proportions. I feel sorry for whom ever is responsible for writing McCain's speech for the RNC. The bar has been set to astronomical heights!
THAT WAS the Bush we got these past years.. by Sakurai	Aug 29th, 2008 03:33:53 PM
you obviously just dont watch his speeches or interviews (and i'm not talking about a clip you saw on the daily show or letterman). Regardless of whether you agree with his policies or not, the guy has appeal.
Box Office Failure by Luscious.868	Aug 29th, 2008 03:52:42 PM
Just like all of the Iraq War movies. We don't want to be reminded of it when we go to the movies because we see it every damn day on TV. We go to the movies to escape. A W comedy will be hilarious, in 3 or 4 years, now it's just tedious.
Luscious.868, I agree by Ultron ver 2.0	Aug 29th, 2008 04:01:09 PM
TOO SOON

Honestly can't believe Bush could string a sentence together by irc-Hollywood	Aug 29th, 2008 04:51:17 PM
let alone be that charming and witty. This is a work of FICTION pure and simple... he's Bush for fucks sake, not Clinton.
Looks OK actually by applescruff	Aug 29th, 2008 07:35:55 PM
I second the poster who is interested on a novelty level. And I think McCain is just digging his own grave deeper with the VP pick.
That is the greatest trailer I have ever seen! by SkidMarkedUndies	Aug 29th, 2008 07:41:36 PM
No sarcasm intended. That whole thing told a self-contained story and whetted the appetite for the full film. Brilliant.
By the way.... by Half-Baked-Goggle-Box-Do-Gooder	Aug 29th, 2008 09:39:50 PM
.....Why did this thread disappear for a couple of hours? Weird.....
Huh? by kennerado	Aug 30th, 2008 02:56:47 AM
So is this a comedy or is it meant to be serious?
Traffic down 10% over 3 mon. according to Alexa by JackRabbitSlim	Aug 30th, 2008 06:10:34 AM
And yeah - i agree - these "stories" seem kinda desperate to me, combined with the undeniable increase in adverts. Seriously - posting a story on Rod Lurie's (???) opinion on a VP choice? What's next - a series of interviews with Gaffers on their favorite 1960's author? Who cares?
He's so hunky and charming by kafka07	Aug 30th, 2008 08:17:52 AM
makes me forget why I never voted for him
that's my bush! by bluebottle	Aug 30th, 2008 09:53:12 AM
i'd rather see parker and stone revisit "that's my bush" with some perspective on the presidency...
I hope this tanks by johnnykool	Aug 30th, 2008 02:54:07 PM
It looks like a shitty made for TV movie.
During the next two months... by Half-Baked-Goggle-Box-Do-Gooder	Aug 30th, 2008 06:14:03 PM
...we'll see just how much McCain really "believes" in Palin, and how much she simply happened to perfectly fit a carefully researched, immediate demographic need; i.e., A) A White Woman, to draw in the pissed-off Hillary contingent; B) An Anti-Abortion Fundamentalist, as a sop to the bible-sucking, I-can-meddle-in-your-life-but- keep-your-nose-out-of-mine contingent; C) An obedient member of the Republican Party/the Oil Industry, one who can be counted on to always go for the short-term, team-player, "pragmatic" move, as opposed to taking a restrained, considered approach - namely throwing Alaska wide open to totally unrestrained and unregulated drilling; D) Somebody ambitious enough to want the VP position, but also politically weak enough that she can be out-maneuvered and over-ridden, someone who will step (or can be pushed) out of the way and let a man step in to take the reins if and when McCain's health goes down the crapper, because the Republicans would rather see Obama running the White House than an "unpredictable" woman.
If I Pick A Lady, Any Lady, Angry Hillary Supporters Will Vote G by LaserPants	Sep 1st, 2008 06:39:58 AM
WRONG! Epic Fail old man, EPIC FAIL. Especially since you picked an arch-conservative, anti-choice woman who was the mayor of a town of 6,000 people before becoming a Senator. Its done, John, just go to the retirement home, pop some pain pills, and watch as history is made and Obama becomes the first black man to hold the office of President.

Whoops. Sorry about that. Anyway, what type of drugs are you on? Everything you said about Sarah was totally false; except for the fact she was mayor of a small town.
