I can’t come up with one good reason why I would see Oliver Stone’s film.

The subject matter has absolutely ZERO entertainment value for me.

Stone seemed to try to find common ground in his movie about 9/11. Hopefully, Stone can establish a consensus on Bush too.

But I think most want to forget about this administration as soon as possible

If this movie is about Bushs’ accomplishments what will we watch for 2 hours?

Now if the movie is to be about lies told during this administration, it would be a mini series.

Great…
Oliver Stone is going to make another boring, heavy movie that is so full of “social importance” that I’d rather have my teeth drilled than go see it.
The man doesn’t have a CLUE what the meaning of “subtle” is.

The kicker is I mostly agree with where Stone is coming from politically, but as for his movies? Wake me when it’s over!

Now if the late I.F. Stone were still alive and making a movie, I’d sit up and take notice!

a non-subject as huge as George Bush - #By Gabir, January 24: “...a movie about the ABSOLUTE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY...”

Some people might get a shock to consider that GWB was NOT the worst US president. The one who started the CIVIL WAR in the 1800’s was! This can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt once Americans (especially Yankees) stop their ludicrous fantasizing about that era and the glories of war.

It was hardly likely that any bunch of white men went to war to kill each other over a bunch of black slaves. Thus, the fact was that there were other issues involved. Consequently, the reality was that a war could have been avoided then - if Washington had wanted to.

Going back to Obama’s hypocritical “anti-war” speech, it was so-oo nice of him to state that white men killing each other was a good thing, uhh. The “crucible of the sword” and “I don’t oppose all wars”..... What a bunch of idiots you all really are to be sucked in by that!

By xenon, January 24: “...he would have tackled Cheney instead.... maniacal, messianic little cowboy ...”

Now, someone else has the chance to do exactly that, xenon!

By troublesum, January 23: “...we need a documentary showing exactly what happened in this country for the last eight years....”

Oh yes, forget having an election. In fact, you might as well because you could all have lost your freedom between now and November anyway.

Typically American - “truth” as a Hollywood production more palatable than reality, uhh. We’ll just sit back and wait to be spoon-fed........

A Film about the Retard has already been made in the UK. It was called ‘Death of a President’.
Now THAT was a good film.
Apparently Condi nearly had apoplexy over it.
Now THAT would would have been good too.

Regarding Stones film, can you imagine writing the script, how easy would that be? Only you’d never have to finish a sentence, or even spell it correctly.

How many millions of dollars will Mr. Stone waste on a non- subject as huge as George Bush , who has wasted billions of dollars on his global terrorism exploits and sent thousands of American Soldiers to die or come home injured physically and emotionally beyond repair . How many Iraqi and Afgan deaths is Bush responsible for????
This just proves that Hollywood Moguls will do anything , including the creation of a movie about the ABSOLUTE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY , to further inflate their already obscene incomes .
Mr. Stone , you are as disgusting as the subjects of your films . I hope that if this “PROJECT” makes it to theatres , Americans will have the sense to stay away , making this movie your biggest STINKER , as huge a STINKER as the subject of the film .

“I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much the same as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison and Alexander the Great.”

Olliver Stone, please don’t mention Bush in the same sentence as the others… or on the same page!

I don’t have empathy for Bush as a human being or as anything else. What are his accomplishments? His dreams? His human qualities?
From what we know he has always been a derelict, a cruel jerk, an animal torturer, a cheat, a liar, a loser, an intellectual zero. If he has any hidden qualities only his god knows about, he has managed to hide them from us; and I am really not interested whether he has any or not. It is tooooooo late!

I will never see a film about bush, no matter who makes it. Even if it were a horror movie, as it should be. Why live through it again?
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!

Does Oliver Stone really think he can produce an accurate and truth fulled film about the Shrub? He must remember that all script writing will be done by the Bush administration, as it does with the news we have today. This ensures that nothing negative touches the Shrub, especially like the real facts would.
Maybe they could get Whoopi Goldberg to play Ms. Rice. Ron Silver could take over the role of Chertoff. George Lopez as Alberto G. Karl Malden-is he still alive- reminds me of Cheneys bulldog look, if Karl is dead then Jim Belushi could pull it off. Leslie Nielsen to act in the role of the Sr. Shrub, Paula Poundstone would portray Laura, Rosie O’Donnell as Karl Rove. Margret Hamilton will be resurrected for the role of Mother Barbara and as they were unable to find any actor able to portray the role as President any where close to the actual one we have now, G.W. will take time away from his nap to portray himself. The twins will be played by Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears.

On another post it stated that G.W. put a firecrackers in the mouth of frogs and blew them up. It is well known that those who torture small animals as a child, or in this case, as a youth* and are not treated with the proper medical,legal attention when the problem first occurs often times and in most cases, turn out to be murderers/killers when they become adults. Does this ring a bell?

“My wife and I mute the sound everytime swizzle stick spews. I’m happy to report that I haven’t heard a complete sentence from this pretender to the presidency since before the coup.”

Ted, I’m happy to report, even had you listened, you wouldn’t have heard a complete sentence!

Stringing words together in a cohesive fashion, resulting in demonstrable cognizance is an art Mr. Bush has never mastered.

I often wonder if that isn’t a reflection of our collective citizenry’s ability [or lack thereof] to think. Then I look at the economy today and realize, being ignorant didn’t begin with Bush, but it definitely does qualify one to be republican. [And compete for democrat leadership!]

We’ve been racing down the crumbling road called de-regulation and free market economy and “war is peace” for many years.

Now we’ve reached the end of the road and Bush is the flashing red light we see just before we break the barricade placed in front of the missing bridge!

We still don’t know what will happen when we hit the bottom! Will we bounce, or simply self destruct?

Perhaps Stones ambition is premature. Maybe he needs to wait and see how the movie should end!

By Sang Ze, January 22: “The whitewash begins....”

Making movies about controversial figures? Wrong director, uhh!

Now for the title ...how about “Broke the Bank - Mountain of Debt”???

Who was that director??? Oh, Ang Lee......

All you need is 300 million sheep, the Crawford Ranch .....and a nude scene in which the main character jumps into a lake....

The rest can be filmed at this week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It will be banned in China because homosexuality is considered a taboo subject.

*(PS - with condolences to Heath Ledger’s family......)

Lookout!  We could be subjected to Bush 2, Bush 3, and maybe even Bush 4.  Then, if Stone’s depiction is favorable toward W, someone else will come out with Bush, Redux.  Then you’ll have redux 2, etc.  This could get very out of control.

It took 3+ hours for my hero, Charleton to get the Jews out of Egypt, fetch the Ten Commandments from the burning bush and head on into the Promised Land sunset.

In view of that, how long will a movie have to be to give a fair portrayal to this baboon destroying the middle east, laying waste to our planet and destroying our economy, if not the world’s.  This is definitely epic in size.  I wouldn’t attempt it.  Ya gotta hand it to Ollie!  You go, Ollie!

I expect nothing better.  I hope that Stone treats it all as a study in organized crime and how the pursuit of “control” becomes confused with the pursuit of some “good”.

I meant Oliver!

^film that is an interpretation of the events of the last 7 years?  An artsie fartsie rendition of the life and times of modern day war criminals?  I didn’t see Nixon because I lived that SOB the same as I have lived this SOB.  What will you tell mee that I already don’t know Steven?  As QuyTran has already said, “Feed your dogs; time well spent.”

I don’t even think speculating on what actors should play the criminals in the Bush regime is of much interest. BushCo has already wasted our time, our resources, our lives, and the planets future. We need to waste no more time depicting a useless life.

I for one would not see it. Watching Bush crimes unfold in the news is already enough.
