Here’s the first trailer for Oliver Stone’s controversial bio-pic about George W. Bush, due out this fall.

I haven’t been following this movie that closely — I just don’t think I can sit through another liberal tale of woe about how Bush has ruined the country. I mean, I go to the movies to escape.

But after watching this, I’m curious, mainly because this trailer made me root for him. I think it was supposed to make him look dumb, but I thought it made him look kinda cool. Maybe that’s just my “I-have-a-newborn-at-home” sleep deprivation talking.

It’s eerie how all of the actors resemble the real-life characters they’re playing. The dude made up to look like Karl Rove is especially creepy.

  2. Oliver Stone made my all time favorite movie, Wall Street. He also did a screen adaptation of Talk Radio. JFK was good. Freeway kicks ass. The Doors. Born on the Fourth of July…Stone ‘gets work’ because he’s awesome, that’s why.

  3. We’ll have to agree to disagree. Everything from JFK (except Natural born killers) to present has been pretty bad. 01-20-09 can’t come early enough for me. I just don’t see how a movie directed by someone with such far left leanings as stone can be taken seriously. He’s of his feed and off his game. Then again, so is Chimpy McFlightsuit.

  4. “I just don’t think I can sit through another liberal tale of woe about how Bush has ruined the country. I mean, I go to the movies to escape.”AMEN. Hallelujah!
