Sure, why not. Stone does make entertaining movies however he gets just a smidge loosey-goosey with facts. One should not base any answer to an academic question based upon information learned from an Oliver Stone film. Nor should one credit Oliver as a source in the bibliography of a term paper.

What a waste of celluloid. Think we’ll find this one in the DVD bargain bin at Wal Mart for $3.99 at Christmas?

Yes, I want to see the movie. I think it should be mandatory for the powers that be to watch also. And then prosecute Bush and Cheney.
Patsy in NE.

Why see the movie, Jack, when I’ve lived the nightmare for 7 1/2 years?

What, where, when? sorry gone camping.

Hi Jack, Yes I’m very interested to see that movie. I hope it ends with Bush and Cheney being tried for Crimes Against Humanity by an international tribunal. I just hope that when I jump up to cheer during the sentencing I don’t spill all my popcorn.

Yes, I’d like to see Oliver Stone’s film. I would also like to see “Body of War” which Phil Dobahue was vigorously supporting on MSNBC last night.

Jack - why have you eliminated you paragraphs of info leading up to your questions??? I don’t think I can answer them as responsibly as I’d like to without some information - biased or not - on the subject. Did you decide to eliminate the info because you’ve been accused of not being objective?

I doubt if I will watch Stone’s movie because I’ve never enjoyed movies about natural and man-made disasters: The Poseiden Adventure, The Day After, Titanic, or The Bush Presidency.

No.

You mean Horton Hears a Bush? No, I think I’ve had 7 years too many of this man. Nothing left to be said about him. Hillary: the Movie would provide me with some real popcorn and soda entertainment.

No way, I have had enough of George Bush for a lifetime. Someone should make a movie about Barack Obama.

No I won’t Jack. I will remember this administration as the most inept, deceitful,incompetent, disengenuous, corrupt, arrogent, cruel, elitist, confused, self-serving bunch ever and I wouldn’t want Mr. Stone’s version to mess that up for me.

No, thank you. I’ve lived through this horror story, isn’t that enough?

Too soon for a movie about Bush. I looking forward to getting rid o him - no reminders thanks.

Enough, is Enough

There is nothing about President Bush that I am interested enough to pay to go and sit and watch. My mind was made up when he was the fearless governor of Texas and it has not changed. He will go down as the worst president in American History.

Probably not. I know far more than I care to know about this miserable excuse for a leader of the free world. Besides, his last movie about a president, while pretending to be a documentary, contained made up stuff in addition to facts. So as much as I agree with the premise, I don’t agree with the method.

in a word jack NO!!! not interested in anything about pres. bush
outside of how much longer we have to deal with his disastrous presidency.

Jack,
Hell no i won’t see Oliver Stone’s movie about Bush! We have been living it, it’s a never ending horror story, i wake up screaming.
Carl D.

Hell No Jack!!

I can’t wait til this nightmare presidency is over, let alone go out of my way to remind me of it!!

It is worth the price of admission to see Bush again on 9/11 reading what was probably his Master’s thesis “My Pet Goat.” There were probably two things going on in his limited brain. One was the question “Where in the world is the World Trade Center.” The second was “I wish I had not stolen the election.” Since he has been taking dancing lessons lately, I hope Stone include him and Condi on Dancing for Dummies.

Is it titled; “How to destroy the lives of millions and justify it in the name of democracy?” No we will watch Leave it to Beaver.

Definitely. If it’s critical, though, I’d be wary of speaking with Stone over the telephone, though…

Heck no!

No, 8 years was more than enough. We don’t need any reruns or recurring nightmares.

Probably not. Living through a disaster once is enough for me thank you.

Let me put it this way. I had a calendar that made fun of President Bush and I gave it away because I couldn’t stand to look at his face every day. If this movie and the actor who plays him even reminds me of Bush, it’s a no-go.

Patricia in Boise

You betcha…bring it on Oliver…all of it. It should be quite a movie!

Jack, if I were a glutton for punishment, I would;however, since I’m not I will not waste my hard earned money on this movie!

I wasn’t aware that there was one, Jack. But I can guess what it will be about, knowing his record…

Why not? Oliver Stone isn’t going to change my mind about Bush or any of the rest of the morons in Washington. I, like you, am 65, and sick of the whole bunch including the candidates. Incumbents begone. Make my day.

oliver stone’s movie about george w bush. hmmmmmm. let’s see. i’ve grown out of cartoons, not into fiction or fantasy, don’t like horror movies and deplore soap opera’s.
nope, not interested.

Absolutely, i just hope it doesn’t portray Bush as a good president!

Hi Jack:

You’re kidding right? No way, although I make an effort to boycott that movie if it ever materialized.

God Bless,
Ron K. San Diego

Hell No I won’t go. Movies cost too damn much as it is, and now Oliver Stone wants me to see a Movie about a guy who is in the News most every day who no one likes? Is he High??….Oh wait…he is. That explains that. Just Say no. Screw That.

Mike, From Staten Island, New York

Wow, Yes, I am definitely interested in seeing this movie. It probably won’t require a rocket psychologist to see why the U.S. is in its current predicament .

I’ll see the movie as long it tells the truth about Bush and his gang and how they wrecked this country in only 8 long years.

I am interested in seeing it but will reserve judgment until I see how truthful it is. The American public deserves to here the truth. We get enough hyperbole from CNN and the like. I of course exclude you from that statement Jack.

Rick, Arlington WA

why pay to see a movie when we watch every night on the news media the bush story un-edited.

See a movie about Pres Bush?What for?I’ve seen the real thing for the past 8yrs!Don’t want to relive that again!

Probably not - I’m just ready to move on from this administration. I don’t want to pay to watch or prolong it more than is absolutely necessary.

Unless there is something unusual to see ,I for one already know more than I want to know about the moron at our helm. If it shows him hypothetically answering for his crimes in a world court then bring it on.

I do not plan on viewing Mr. Stone’s movie as I do not enjoy films from the horror genre.

Jack,
Only if you can promise it will be as accurate as JFK, his film on the Kennedy assasination. I think he used Homer Simpson to fact-check that one.

Jack, I have lived it for 8 years what could Hollywood do to top reality.

I think we’ve had enough of Bush these last 7 years. I think we should do what Egyptian pharaohs did with their former pharaohs and remove the memory of Bush and start clean. No libraries for him, no statues, no mention that he was ever a US president. There is enough-war, deficits, poverty, bad image-of Bush to remind us of his reckless stewardship of this earth.

God no Jack!
I’ve LIVED thru this hell for the past 8 years, WHY would I fork out $9.00 to see it and relive it again? I can’t afford to go to the movies anyway, I need that $9.00 to buy my 2 gallons of gas to get to work!

Yeah, Jack, I’m about as interested in seeing Oliver Stone’s movie about President Bush as I am about participating in your mindless blogs.

Why would I want to see a movie on an era I can’t wait to have over?I don’t think my nervous system can take any more Bush tales.

Nancy from Arizona

Yes, I probably will go see Stone’s take on the Bush administration. I love Oliver Stone and I think there is a place for his fictionalized histories in our popular culture. Heck, even Billy Shakespeare used the genre. The problem is that there are those in our society who cannot understand the difference between reality and fiction. “Reality” TV is a good example. Just because it has the word in it doesn’t mean it contains anything close to reality. As long as the film is advertised as what it is, people should not object to it. If Stone is as brilliant a director as most give him credit for, maybe he can make George out to be the hero or at least make him look like less of a jack ass.

NO

I don’t need to see some movie about what Lil’ Bush has done to this country, I have already lived it.

Only if the storyline happened to be based on a true story of how, filled with remorse for the senseless deaths of so many American kids, the entire Bush family enlisted to fight on the front lines for democracy in Iraq. And the Cheneys would follow suit.

You bet I will..I’ll take a bottle of Jim Beam with me to liven up that flat tasting theater coke..Cheers

Jack,

I’ve seen Psycho, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but I don’t have the stomach for a movie on Bush. I’m more in a mood for Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner (at the White House.)

I don’t ever want to see or hear anything about President Bush again unless it is concerning his impeachment.

Ed Reed
Port Aransas, TX

There is not a whip big enough to make me watch a mov ie about Bush

From the hints about the script and the Fraternity House…er White House with Bush and his cronies talking casually about war…I’m game for it.

-Brett
Cincinnati, OH

Is this movie going to be a comedy or tragedy??

Hmmm Jack, Stone’s film is about an idiot of a man who is president of the U.S. A president who apparently treats his presidentcy much the actions of a spoiled rich brat of a kid. This appears to me to a a documentary, not just a film.
I love documenraties. I’ll see the film.

No, after the long nightmare of the Bush administration is over in Jan. 09 I never want to hear or see this terrible man again.

Hey Jack-

No, I’m probably not going to see it. I’m not a big fan of horror films. Real life during the Bush administration is scary enough.

i’d rather see a 1- minute commercial,of the great cowboy/’decider’,riding off into the sunset,and then forget he ever existed.

COMEDY Right? I think I will see it, I mean Oliver Stone makes great movies. It will be intresting to see what he does with the material he has to work with this time. I hope he is already working on the Clinton movie that is the one I absolutely want to see!!!

Jack,

Will I go see Oliver Stone’s movie about George Bush? Hmm, let’s see, do I want to make like a pressure cooker and then boil over? No thanks. Just living in this country under this administration is more than enough George Bush to last me a lifetime. I think the shame, disgust, and overall revulsion he inspires in me would make me want to throw popcorn and soda everywhere in fury.

I think the conservatives will stay home - and vilify Oliver Stone until he’s up there at Michael Moore status. So, if Stone wanted to make money… what was he thinking? I hope he at least got Steve Bridges to play Bush!

What? Go see a movie about Bush? You have got to be kidding: why pay inflated dollars to see a remake of a nightmare we’re all living in real time?

Jack,

Jack…. They already made a sequel to “Dumb and Dumber” and it bombed, could this be better?

The film portrays a “caricature” of Bush? The man already refers to enemies as “evil-doers”. How could Oliver Stone make Bush any more over the top?

If it accurately portrays Mr. Bush and the way he acts in office it should be one of the funniest films in recent memory. So I would love to watch it I beg you mail the D.V.D to Canada Jack. We Canadians would love to laugh at who you guys voted for twice.

Jack, we’ve already been forced to wach this slapstick dark comedy unfold for seven-and-a-half years. I won’t be paying to sit through a 90-minute retelling of “The Worst Story Ever Told.”

Jack
I would rather watch reruns of you and Chuck Scarbourgh on the old six oclock news, then see a movie about George W. Bush or any Bush for that matter.

I plan to see it. But I may wait until I can rent it on DVD.

I Do Not plan on going to see Oliver Stone’s “W.” I’ve seen enough of this guy and his cronies for the last seven years! I can’t wait till he packs up his clan and rides off into the sunset! What sane American would pay good money to see a movie about this crack pot? I’m sure it will only disparage the U.S. image even more when released throughout the world.

Honestly I’ll be so glad to not have to look, hear or think about GW Bush when Jan 20 2009 comes, that I’ll be unlikely to inflict the memory of the sorriest excuse for a President and go see the movie.

It’s just a movie, Jack. Yes, I will see it. One day when it comes out on DVD. Just a movie. Just a movie. “It ain’t necessarily so”.

This is a waste of recording tape. It might of had an audience in 2006, but it’s out of date now. How about a film “P” about our Speaker Nancy ?

I would see the movie “W” if it was a qood movie with decent actors. I am sure Stone will take some “artisic” liberties with the story - that is his right after all.
I will say that Bush sometimes comes across as a big frat boy who probably is more interested in baseball than more important things like say, the economy, for example.

I’d rather see an very accurate film on what happened during the last 8 years. There is so much we need to know about how this administration pursued it’s agenda.

A sensationalist film tends to provide cover for the actions instead of exposing the reality of what really happened. Associating legitimate administration critics with extreme conspiracy theorists instead of investigating very important and real events.

No way, I can not stand to see that idiot for free, let alone pay money to see him

Why are my comments consistently “awaiting moderation?” The comments are innocuous enough. Does someone dislike Aussies?

Only if the theatre hands out a barf bag when I buy my ticket

I can’t stand to look at that monkey faced moron when he’s even on
the news which is altogether too frequently. I certainly wouldn’t throw
good money away to see a movie about him.

I would love to see this movie! I bet it would be amusing and fun to watch how Bush might act when he is only surrounded by neo cons. Americans need a laugh these days anyway…

I have already watched 7 1/2 years of this bad movie. I have no interest in being reminded of the scenes I may have already forgotten. The popcorn is stale and the soda is flat. It is time for a new movie.

Jim
Dubuque, IA

I’d sooner wash a cadaver. And I am a HUGE Oliver Stone fan and always will be.

I will only see the movie if Jack or Bush will pay for the ticket and popcorn. Why on earth does anybody wish to remind us of the horrors of the past eight years. I hope stone will confess that the talk about the movie is a tasteless April fools joke. Won’t the film make us relieve torture of prisoners, a failed economy, lost homes. inefficient aid to louisiana, failed and needless war in Iraq, go-it-alone foreign policy, listening in on intimate relational conversations, blind loyalty to China and Russia? Which of the catastrophies does stone want to immortalize? I appeal to Stone to please save us the pains of the ‘environmental’ disasters of the past eight years. McCain is already an unpleasant reminder of those pains. Please Stone.

I don’t need to see the movie, Jack. Myself and the rest of the country have lived the insanity for the past 7 years. Pass the popcorn, please!

I am not sure about going to see the movie, but one thing is a sure bet, considering the release date is after Bush leaves office. Critics will proclaim it the “feel good” movie of the year.

Harry

My desire to see “W” is about as high as my desire was to see the movie “9/11″ after it came out, or as high as people’s desires were to see a Titanic movie immediately after it sank. Movie producers have to be more sensitive about making movies immediately after (or during) tragic events. We all need a mourning period- perhpas in 30 years, so that way we can cast an older Dicaprio as George ‘W’ shouting from on top of the president’s desk in the Oval Office- I’m the king of the world!!!

I sure will…….Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be — like the reality of yesterday — an illusion tomorrow. And that is what the movies are all about.

I’d go, but the theater’s on the other side of town and I’m running on fumes.

Boise, Idaho

Just hearing Bush’s voice gives me heartburn. Don’t think I could stand an entire movie about him without tossing my cookies. Guess what I am trying to say is that George Bush makes me sick…..

No way if Bush is receiving royalties.

Jack, I’ve lived for almost 8 years under this Toerag as President. The reaon I don’t think Mr. Stone should make a movie about this President until we have the investigation of this President & “Dead-eye” Dick & all of the illegal things they’ve done. If any of those illegal acts make it to the “big screen” before we are able to put them on trial then they can’t be charged with those illegal acts. I would hope Mr. Stone can wait 5 or 10 years before he makes this movie.

I already saw “Animal House”… Don’t need to see “Otter Goes To Washington.”…

Only if it shows Pres. Bush with his pitchfork and devil horns.

Jack, the only two things I want to see about George Bush are him leaving office for good, and his obituary.

Good Heavens, NO. I am living it everyday with this stupid war, the troop loss, the cost of gasoline and food. Why, in heavens name would I want to throw away $10 or $12 to see a movie about the jerk. I could buy a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread with that money.

“W” Kinda looks like two thumbs down to me, Jack.

Jack-

I probably won’t watch the Bush film,
I will watch ‘Hillary: The Movie’ on the internet for a second time. If you haven’t seen it yet I suggest you pop some popcorn, watch it, and then tell all your friends.

I wonder what the name of the movie will be?
I think a good title would be, “Goofy goes to War”.

What kind OF MOVIE , HORROR, FICTION, OR , REALTY : TITLE , GO to WAR with BUSH

I just hope there won’t be a sequel to “W”…”Jeb”.

Yes, I would go see the movie, most definitely. But unfortunately I’d have to wait for it to come to a “Dollar Night Special”, if it stays in the theaters that long. Afterall,a dollar is quite a deal, seeing we’ve been “Bush-Wacked” for eight years.

No desire to see this movie. If I want to see a mocked-up version of poorly run politics, I just turn on the news every day and see what the Clinton campaign is up to.

Why? We all lived through it for almost 8 years. I mean I like horror movies but after spending almost 8 years glued to the TV set waiting for the next disaster to happen I don’t care if I ever see another scary movie. The only fast thing Congress did in 8 years was get us in to a war in Iraq and Afghanistan over night. Everything else they do comes slower then a snails pace. Well, except the pork barrel spending that is fast and furious and they pass it through congress with lightning speed. All of this would have to be in the movie because they were every bit at fault as George Bush was.

No, No, No, No.

I can’t wait to see this movie, I hope they use the “Bush on the Couch” book to get into some real personal Bush behaviour traits.

Jack, perhaps after the elections. Right now, I am interested in the future, and Bush represents the past.

Jack I don’t know about you, but I have lived this nightmare for the last 7 years. There is no way I could sit for another 5 minutes to see how things have gone. I am not even sure G.W. knows the truth about his Presidency. maybe we should ask Dick to brief him on the truth about what really happened.

I only hope that G.W. has an escort back to his ranch on the 20th of January 2009…

Jack, I would not miss it. I am sure it will be the greatest film since Pinocchio!

NO!!!

Is it a comedy? If it is, then it’s a must see, because his weekly sitcom is a hoot!!!

Andre,
Miami, Florida

I wonder how much “truthyness” will be allowed. Will he show an administration going to war by mistake, or a cunning administration getting the access to oil and more for Chevron and Halliburton? Will he show a group devoted to supply-side tax cuts because they believe it will actually work, or because they know it won’t but they can get away with it? To view this group as bunglers is a mistake. They just have goals that don’t coincide with ours. They have been pretty good at getting what they want, and avoiding any personal consequences. If they were actually trying to act in the best interests of our country, they would have to be seen as completely incompetent and ignorant. I don’t think that’s who they are. they are more dangerous than that.

LOL! Caricature? How can any moviemaker ever make out Bush to be any worse or over the top than he already is? How can you make a caricature of the world’s archetypal caricature? I would only watch this movie if it documented (a la Michael Moore) all the impeachable offenses that the media has allowed to go ‘unpunished’. No - to be quite honest - I couldn’t endure being reminded of the misdeeds of this miscreant for one second longer than absolutely necessary. I cannot even stomach watching him on the evening news!

Never. Eight years was enough.

The answer is NO. Why would I want to support Oliver Stone? He is trash and his movies are trash. Hope you are not supporting him Jack?

Ahhh…

Wag the Dog meets an extra-long episode of 24…

Jack, let’s wait until it hits “on-demand”, grab a bottle of vino and laugh our little hearts out!

It’s going to be like one of those ‘based on a true story’ movies like ‘Walking Tall’ or ‘Eight Below’ which is 5% true and 95% made-up crap. I’m no fan of our 43rd president, but I think we should wait and see how the story ends before we start making movies about the man. When Stone did ‘JFK’ and ‘Nixon’ those guys were already dead and the moment of their legacy decades past. Let history evaluate his decisions and the repurcussions. We need a bit more fallout before we can truly judge Bush 43. Who knows? He just may end up not being the worst president, ever.

How could I see this thing after just barely living through it for the past eight years??????????? Good old Oliver Stone must believe that he has a market out there. Come January 20, 2009 I for one will be watching carefully that #1 the copter departs from the US Capitol grounds, #2. it lands at Andrews and #3 Air Force 1 is actually takes off and heads to Texas–or beyond!

Jack,
After having lived “Bush: the Nightmare” for 8 years, I would have to be nuts to continue that with “Bush the Movie”. Just hand me the popcorn.
Little Rock

I will see this film most def I love bush!

As good a director as Oliver Stone is, a Bush movie is a movie that demands a genius touch that Stone lacks. The most original way to portray this Bush nightmare era would be as a frightening “black comedy,” a la “Dr. Strangelove.” Only a director with the wicked satirical talents of the late Stanley Kubrick could pull this kind of film off.

Left wing Liberal movie I want one that tells the truth about Hillary and how crooked she and Bill are. BOB

JACK
WHO in their right mind would want to rehash all the lies and blunders that this administration has ACCOMPLISHED. The name for the movie should be called ” DUYBA and the GOONIES. I bet W. want sit thru the movie if he even attempts to watch it, mom and pop might watch and brag THATS MY BOY.

No, it couldn’t be less slanted than Fox News!

Brokeback Mountain has been made - and I am not JUST talking about the movie. I am referring to the debt burden Cheney and Bush left us.

I always watch at least one movie with terrible subject matter and bad jokes every week.

No, I won’t. I can’t wait for the movie: Obama: Yes we can!

Not interested in political Science Fiction .

I won’t see it for the following reason:
It already pisses me off to see the real bush on TV and I couldn’t bear to sit through a movie for several hours getting pissed off even more.

if it’s half as bad about the portrayal of bush and the white house as the article claims about reviewers of the script, i think it will have a hard time finding an audience.
the dems don’t want to sit through it for reasons similar to my own (though some might, as they like getting all worked up over bush).
and republicans won’t see it be/c it’s going to be touted as a bush bashing film.

- steve the liberal democrat

I’ll wait for it to come on Netflix, that way I can fast forward and watch how not to be stupid. Stupid is stupid does.

Don’t watch the movie, watch the PBS Frontline shows on Bush and the Iraq War. (They’re available free online too!)

Naah, because it couldn’t be less slanted than Fox News.

why do you need to watch the movie when the whole drama is unfolding as it is??? i can’t believe this administration still gets…what 31% of american support? that is depressing, to say the least.

Absolutely not. The President has made enough of a legacy in his tenure. I believe most people are just trying to forget about him. There is no reason to try to immortalize him any further. It doesn’t matter what kind of movie about Bush is made, whether it is a stirring drama or a humorous Pixar movie with talking animals, I just want to move on.

-written in VA

I need to see the trailer before I can decide. This is premature…

What a waste! A movie about Bush? Pffft.

Yeah I am with Keith we lived through it for 71/2 years only 6 months to go, can’t say the same for our Boys in Iraq. No need to see anything that even remotely has to do with President Bush. I’ve seen enough already

Who will want to see a movie about a “shrub” ?

I wouldn’t mind seeing it, what the heck everybody needs a good laugh every now and then.

Absolutely. Can’t wait. Is Cheney going to be wearing the Darth Vadar costume?

So who’s going to play George Bush? Verne Troyer.

Yes when hell freezes over then I will see the movie. These Hollywood people still don’t get it. These political movies don’t sell! and he is 8 years too late in doing this movie. Stone must be “stone drunk” when he decided to do this. It will be the biggest bomb.

I have much respect for Mr. Stone, but I’m not interested in seeing anything that has to do with Bush. I can’t stand his administration. I can’t stand him. I can’t stand the way he embarrasses himself every time he speaks. I can’t stand his face. I can’t stand his policies. I can’t stand the fact that he’s still the president after all of the lying and deceit. I can’t stand his name. Eight years is plenty. I’m not about to spend 90 more minutes of my life dealing with him.

Jack, what I’m getting at here is, “No!”

The only way I would watch it if it ultimately ends with them dying.

Not unless the conclusion shows criminal Bush being sentenced to life in prison for war crimes.

Good Lord NO! I can’t imagine paying my hard earned money (what’s left of it) to see W. I don’t want to see him now when I can do it for free.

Haven’t we paid enough, and haven’t we seen enough of this clown? Lieberman can have my ticket.

I would not be interested in seeing it, but then, I have never cared for the horror flick genre.

i’ll be happy to watch it as a rerun on tv.

Only if Frank Caliendo was portraying Bush.

Of course not! After 8 years of totally biased anti-Bush propaganda aired almost 24/7 for free on the internet and the news, why would I care to pay to hear more completely anti-productive garbage?

There is already so much negativity; I don’t understand why Mr Stone can’t use his time, money and influence for something more worthwhile.
No, I wouldn’t go see this movie. Stone should stick with fiction. Oh, but it sounds like he is doing that!

Probably not…keep thinking about the morning after the last election…came to work and told all–and I mean all–the Republican employees “God help us all”.. it makes me sick to know how right I was.

Jack…As nauseated at the mention of his name, I will wait until it’s on DVD. I’m going to plant myself on the couch, have a ton of popcorn and laugh my tushy off! Probably will be the best comedy of the year. I’m also waiting to see if the GOPers are going to try and stop this film from being released - who knows - they might try to have Oliver Stone transported to Gitmo - “yer either with us or against us, pardner” - wouldn’t put it past ‘em!

Only if it’s a Cole Porter musical. You know, “Don’t Fence Me In’, for the Texas years, “What is this thing called love”, when he meets Laura, “You’re the top”, to Dick Cheney who comes back with “Let’s misbehave”. “Anything goes” for torturing at Gitmo, “Be a clown” for Rummy’s war mongering, “Experiment” for the Iraq war and “Love for sale” for Condi Rice’s foreign policy trips. Busby Berkley can do the choreography.

Why would I want to know the truth about Bush? No one cared about knowing the truth about WMDs. It is easier to ignore the problems Bush has bequeathed to America.

Of course I’m gonna watch it. You have to look at all aspects of a thing to really be able to give your opinion. And I say this as one of the few Bush supporters in Europe.

Thomas from Germany

Why?? We’ve been watching a national comedy that turned into a national tragedy for the past 8 years. What’s new that hasn’t been in re-runs for years now. “That’s My Bush”- captured the essence of W out of the gate- and that ws 7 years ago. Bring back Timothy Bottoms.

Tony Britt
Chatham, NJ

Nope, President Bush has been demonized enough by the media and hollywood since he took office. Why waste my time on a movie that we already know will portray him in a negative way?

This rank right up there with the other “must see” movies (Rocky, Rambo and Speed Racer)…Come on Jack, did you really ask this question?

Yes, I will see the movie. I will invite my friends to see the movie. Together we will shamefully laugh at the state of such a sacred office.

Oh boy!! Why is America so obsessed with the punisher. Le this shell of a man go baq to the cave from which he came from. Yes, and I mean BAQ!!

Jack,

If I want to see a movie filled with lies, I’ll go see Al Gore’s movie about Global Warming.

duh off course, why not? is it TABOOO!!! oh my goodness dont watch the evildoers.

Yes I will see it. My opinion is alreayd formed of mr Bush.

I have no respect for either President Bush or Oliver Stone. I do not intend to see Stone’s film because like Bush, Stone is a self-absorbed man who is interested in his own agrandizement rather than to some higher purpose.

Jack:
I turn the channel when Bush comes on. Why would I want to pay to see this work of fiction? we have been living it since Jnauray od 200.

John Santoro

Of course I would go see this movie. Can’t wait for the sequel, Jeb should be hilarious.

Jack I’d be more interested if Woody Allen made a movie about Duh-Duh-Dubya. If you’re going to make a movie about the viliage idiot, then an intellectual clown could present Duh-Duh in the best ‘light’ he could hope for.
Alas, where is Walt Disney when you need him?

What’s David Lynch doing these days”

I’d prefer to see a movie that attempts to answer the question “how could so many people elect this chump the second time around?”

The biggest fans of this man must be the enemies of America, as has diminished American world power and influence significantly.

Hell, why not? It can’t be any worse than the real thing.

No need to see the movie.
We are living it!

Isn’t 8 years of seeing this clown enough? I will not waste my money. 1.20.09 can’t get here soon enough.

No. Why would I spend $12 and two hours of my time watching a movie about an individual who I will spend the rest of my life trying to forget.

After reading most of the posts, I am convinced that Mr. Stone can find a vast audience of ignorant Americans to watch his film. As is evident in the posts, most Americans are sipping their morning coffee without a clue on what is going on in the world around them. Regardless if you agree with President Bush or not, there is a real threat to western moral values from radical islamists. I am wondering when Americans will wake up to that…

Why would anyone watch a movie about a previledged, and thoughtless bore. It wood be more intertaining watching grass grow.

No, I think I’ve seen quite enough of President Bush, thanks.

Yes.

Jack, NO, NO, No, I have seen enough of Bush for the past 8 years.

Not a chance. People are nuts if they think Oliver Stone could produce anything objective let alone worth 10 dollars and 2 hours.

I agree with previous comments regarding the fact that we have been living this nightmare for 7 1/2 years now. Why do we need a movie to describe the mess we are in now

If it shows things that leads to his conviction and incarceration for treason.

Will the movie include a segment about how Congress went along?
In a republic the president does not rule by himself.
Congress is culpable.

Aren’t there more uplifting and moral people to film the lives of? We need hope and encouragement now not the display of an idiot monkey who has single-handedly nearly destroyed this country.

Most biopics tailor the facts a bit in the interest of good movie-making. I’m sure this will be no exception. But if only 10% of the Bush administration’s atrocities presented in Oliver Stone’s film are true, it should be enough to make every American’s hair stand on end. We should be learning as much as we can about Bush’s subversion of this once great democracy–however we can. It’s our duty as Americans.

Only if it ends the same way Musulini ended in Italy

will they be serving drinks before, during & after?

I will wait for W to show up on “Dancing with the Stars”, reliving the last 8 years doesn’t interest me.

Honestly, with the way Bush has slandered and embarrassed the American people over the last seven years, I would revel in two hours of big-screen humiliation of the most un-American man to hold office in my lifetime. We all loved Will Ferrel’s Bush, we’ve tuned in to Comedy Central’s “Where’s My Bush,” we love to hear Olbermann’s nightly count of days since “Mission Accomplished,” and “Little Bush” has its viewers: I think a biopic from Stone is the next logical step. No one watches an Oliver Stone flick to learn; we watch his films for his interesting take on our world and to think about the questions he poses, often in a new way. I’ll be there, maybe even with an American flag on my lapel.

If I ever feel I need to be depressed I will go to see the film. Otherwise I’ll go see a MUSICAL.

No. The country has already lived through 7 1/2 years of colossal ineptitude and arrogance with this President. Why should any of us pay money to endure more of the same?

Yes I’m going to see it, Stone has done some great work. The folks who voted for ‘W’ should be forced to watch it, so they can see how head-up-ass more than half of this country is.

Hello CNN Crew,

I live in Montreal Canada and I can assure you most people up here to the North would be more than interested to see Oliver Stone’s take on the Bush Administration. As The President’s second term finally wraps up, it would be nice to see the inner workings of what the USA and the rest of the world have fallen victims to over the last eight years.

Based on what the biographers said this will not be an accurate portrayal of President Bush. Like him or not the President of the United States deserves an accurate description of his life.

I would rather watch Alvin and the Chipmunks in a constant loop then go to a movie that reminds me of the way life is now. Weren’t movies supposed to take you to a place you have never been and wisk you away from the world you are in?

Obviously not by another ridiculous film by Oliver Stone. Start the movie without me.

Oliver Stone is a national treasure.

Sounds like a giant snooze fest. Stone, de Palma, and ilk are so obsessed with Bush bashing they are willing to sacrifice their reputations in order to make bad movies with anti-Bush or anti-Iraq messages that fail to interest anyone but themselves. Why do these attempts fail? Because even the most ideological of the left know when a movie is just BS posing as docu-drama. Redacted anyone? Yeah…big success. “W” - the big summer action movie? Give me a break…

yea, it will be interesting. Maybe when he is seen dancing on the table we will think of him in a different light.

I’m thrilled to see Stone’s latest work. Americans who are afraid of having their thoughts provoked, of being challenged ideologically no matter what their backgrounds, are frightened of the very thing that is most worth fighting for. I hope this latest work is as challenging as his previous material.

No. I won’t watch the movie. I can’t stand to look at him that long.
The sight of him makes me want to throw up.

I can’t stand to see him on the news! Why in the heck would I sit through an entire movie!? Unless of course it is a comedy. Is it a comedy?

I am not a Bush supporter by any means and never have been, but Oliver Stone is the James Frey of film making. I wouldn’t see this movie if someone paid for my ticket, and that is entirely Stone’s fault, not George’s.

It makes me feel great to know that we have all of these perfect people out here in this blog.

In case any of you need any more rocks I have a pile right here for you. :)(:

It is a same to how Americans typify themselves with there our self righteous rhetoric. I will agree that Bush’s presidency has it flaws, but the mere fact that Stone can make his movie and not mee the same condemnation as some current films prove that Bush has done something right. All the above comments about War crimes shows just how ungrateful they are. Try living in another country and say the things that you read, and you will truly see how spoilt and arrogrant some of you are. Continue your enthusiam and support for political candidate that pander to your “rock star” media and give promises and hopes but can provide no real substance. I will not go see the movie.

sure, why not.

No. I’ve had enough of Bush.

it will be just as good as that paris hilton movie that only made $20,000.00 and they both were not worth that much!

I hope the film discusses the election fraud and lack of political will by the Democrats and journalists to make it a real issue for investigation. Are we all too ashamed to admit the elections were stolen, and we have a selected not elected president. If we dont bring this out in the light, it will happen again, and the results even more disastrous, for our fellow Americans and who ever is in our war path.

So…….we have a movie made by a high school dropout about a college graduate. I’m no fan of Bush, but Oliver Stone is no historian, and he has consistently been unable to provide an accurate, sober depiction of any historical event or proceedings without inserting his own political agenda.

Does anyone think he himself would be a good president? He’s a hack!

Nope, nor any other Stone film. Trash!

Whether you like Bush or hate him, going to anything by Oliver Stone is a waste of time. His loose playing with the facts, as well as his personal feelings, make any interpretation of history questionable.

Absolutely. I think that most people question how history will look at Bush’s presidency. This movie may have an impact on how that event is looked at, just as Stone impacted many peoples’ historical view of the JFK assassinat
