Just curious what other D.U.ers think about Oliver Stones Bush Movie?

Will it help to make Bush go down as the miserable failure he truly is? What kind of reviews do you think it will get?

...but he hasn't made a decent film in years.

and I think he's a pretty capable soul.

I thought ALEXANDER was excellent -- flawed, but far better than the shake it got from most critics.

Of course, I suppose, it depends on how he feels personally about him.

I really could care less what the reviewers think, however. I rarely agree with them.

I am looking forward to watching it, though.

telling him that it's imperative he invade Iraq.

Shall we await it's creation, or should we decide now, like Tom Wicker did re: JFK...and he hadn't even seen it at the time he pronounced that it was filled with fabrications.

You'll be surprised - an excellent Oliver Stone film that took a respectful and understanding look at the man's life - definitely not a hit-piece

be going to see it. the last thing i want to see is a "respectful and understanding" two hours on that motherfu*ker's life.

(and hopefully a great many movie goers will feel the same way)

I won't be wasting any time or money seeing any sympathetic treatment of this schmuck. He doesn't deserve any. He's had WAY too much already. And look where we are as a result.

Hoping Stone's movie is a huge success.

"Food... on your families. Food... on your families. Food... on your families. Food... on your families."

boycott it if it's less than worshipful. And most of the rest of the public is so fed up with the moron that the last thing they'd want to spend their hard earned dollars on is a 2 hour Bush biopic. My prediction: If he goes through with it, it will tank.

It was made in 1972 and starred Rich Little in the role of Richard Nixon. Little at the time appeared frequently on the Johnny Carson show and did a good Nixon impression. This film was made by Bob Einstein (aka Super Dave Osborne) and also included the film debut of comedian Steve Martin, who I believe played a hippy. In this film, Rich Little played Richard Nixon as if he were Oliver Hardy and Herb Voland played Spiro Agnew as if he were Stan Laurel. I saw it in the theater and I thought I would die of laughter, as the only plot was a serious of crazy messes that Nixon and Agnew got into. It's not that slick a production and it's just non-stop silly, stupid, juvenile, goofball comedic scenes that depict Richard Nixon as one of the most moronic and laughable creatures ever to walk the earth. I don't even remember the film having a plot. I remember a scene where Nixon and Agnew smoke reefer, get high, and see all sorts of weird hallucinations. There's a funny farting scene in Nixon's limo that rivals the fart scene in Blazing Saddles. But what nearly brought me to collapse on the theater floor was when Nixon looked at his face in the mirror in the morning to shave and the way Rich Little looked at both sides of his profile with a fake Nixon nose, mugging and wrinkling his brow exactly the way the real Richard Nixon used to mug for the camera.

I think Nixon objected to the film and it was removed from its theatrical run after about 4 or 5 days and I don't think it's ever been seen on network television at any time since.

I only wish someone had the guts to make an uproariously funny comedy about the Bush Administration. Instead of having Nixon and Agnew also be Laurel and Hardy as in "Another Nice Mess", maybe the actors playing Bush, Condi, and Cheney could also be the Three Stooges, Moe, Larry, and Curley, with lots of crazy slapstick routines every time one of them fucks ups, the way the Three Stooges always fucked up. A scene with Bush feeling up everyone's ball head in a room as though it was some kind of tranquilizing obsession would be hiliarious.

:wtf:

To be honest, I don't see how he can make Bush into a complex human being who is neither good nor evil. He did it with Nixon but Nixon was obviously complicated. Bush is a cartoonish villain to me.
