When is Mr. Stone’s movie about Bill Clinton’s adultery, perjury, lies, sex scandal, resulting legal wranglings and disbarment coming out? Oh that’s right – everything about Clinton was true. Where’s the controversy in that?
I want to see the movie for several reasons. it looks like its going to be a funny movie and it’s always good to kind of pull back the curtain and get an idea of what’s really going on, whether good or bad. Plus, although JFK missed the mark, I do like a lot of Oliver Stone movies. Ignore the liberal/conservative rigmarole and just watch the movie for its own sake and enjoy it.
They better get the people in to see “W” immediately because he’s going to be out of office and into history and then who’s going to care. It’s yesterdays news.
I’ve never really watched much O. Stone, but this is something I want to check out.
I’ll wait until a friend gets it via Netflix – I certainly wouldn’t PAY to watch the painful experience that is any Josh Brolin movie…
This movie will be a piece of shit just like the rest of Oliver Stone’s fims.
NO ONE
yeah I just love movies that get blown away by the pre-screen trailers.
boooo
hisssssss
boorrrrring
I wnat to see it because he’s a dirty wanker and I want to see him look bad. I hate GW’s Presidency and I want a good laugh at his expense. Dirty Wanker, sod off, what.
I predict Oliver Stone will spend more money advertising this trash than he will make. However, he did not make this for profit. He made it because he is a blinded by his hatred for Bush.
Piece of garbage movie by a piece of garbage director who like all of Hollywood..supports… along with Oprah…their man Obama.
I could care less about this movie. However, I might have cared more if Good ol’ Ollie had made a better choice in an actor that LOOKED LIKE W. Good Lord! Pics from the trailer have done nothing for me at all.
Go ahead and see it folks. Support bad casting and bad movie choices in general.
Nothing like a pol to find your audience. Hopefully the script and the acting are worth wasting the 10.50/ticket. What the heck they may even get the facts right – though doubtful.
This should be about as fun as an awl gore or michael more film.
99% have first name of Oliver
99% have last name of Stone
99% have directed a movie
99% are extreme liberals
99% are trying to make a cheap buck during an election cycle on ‘controversy’
What a joke…. Oliver Stone showing the real thing. I don’t think anyone realizes how far left this guy is….
I’ll go see it if and only if someone can promise me that the private conversations in the film weren’t just invented for dramatic effect.
Who cares? The movie gets mixed reviews and the poll notwithstanding, this turkey is done before opening.
movie is going to be good. i hope it doesnt make bush into something he wasnt though. it needs to be true to the core.
There are things Known and There are things unknown. And in between are THE DOORS.
Sounds like a flop to me.
I believe in free speech so I have to accept the fact that Stone has the right to make such trash, but I hope he looses his shirt financially on this despicable film.
Where was this eruditious masterpiece four years ago, when it could have done some good? Thanks Oliver, but I’m afraid it’s too late. Now scholars and historians have W’s lagacy in their hands, instead of network news nit wits and Hollywood kooks who failed us when we needed them most.
A movie courtesy of the great American who lauds Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez. Please stick your movie where the sun doesn’t shine, Mr. Stone.
I don’t need to pay to watch left wing biased entertainment, I can just turn on NBC for free.
everyone who voted for GB should be made to watch it
