Has anyone seen or read any reviews of the new film "W"?
I looks interesting, but is it any good?

<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1175491/>

Trailer here:
<http://wthefilm.com/>

Maybe he (Oliver Stone) should have waited a year or two? :shrug:

Btw, think I'm going to be sick after watching that trailer.

4. Oh, it's not meant to be...
...you should see the short theatrical trailer that's at the link above, it seriously made me nauseous.

And the people look too real and full of life.:puke:

3. I didn't think it was coming out until October. I have read the script, though.
I feel that it should be a good film and thought that it was fair, but wished it had covered a bit more of his screw ups.

8. October is next week.
IMDb says October 17, 2008 limited release, and the 29th World-wide (unless some Corporations delay it).

6. As much as I think this could be a gigantic failure, the casting (for the most part)
is certainly inspired. No matter what, I think I will go see this.

7. God knows I can't stand Bush. But I think the film is interesting
in that it brings to light how fucked-up his upbringing was.

Babs and George Sr. are basically parents from Hell.

12. Problem is that when you walk out of the theater
It wasn't "just a movie", the horror is real. The boogeyman lives at 1600 Penn Ave.

14. What a great "tag line" that would be, "The horror is real..."
That's probably what this will turn into for most of us here, the blackest of Black Comedies.

15. Good News! New and better trailer and a "Mash-up" Contest link there now!
Here's the link to the mash-up, maybe we should have a contest here too?
