Sep 25 2008'W' Trailer Makes Commentary on Bush's Funny Face and Post-Punk Policies
Alright, Oliver Stone, if you want to make your W trailer into an abbreviated Talking Heads video, that's fine, but at least make Josh Brolin do the appropriate dance moves for it. As it stands, he's just doing a lot of funny faces and spitting pretzel out of his mouth, which doesn't make for that entertaining of a movie. Still though: take that, Bush!

I still have a hard time understanding if this is just a slapstick attempt at making fun of Bush or an actual movie with a plot. If its the former I would have preferred that they did one of Clinton. Somewhere in that movie a voice over would say "what kind of trouble will Bill get into this week? . . . Oh Mr President. . . where are your standards, sir? is that amorphous blob even human?" Bring out the Oscar.

I'm not the biggest Bush fan in the world, but I think this looks sort of ridiculously stupid. Not "Bush is an idiot" stupid, but "Let's see how many shots we can take at Bush without looking like an episode of SNL" stupid.

I think the first trailer gives a better picture of what the film will be like.

Really look forward to checking W. out in a few weeks. I think Brolin is gonna do a great job as Dubbya!!!

Looks like it should be another great Stone pic! He's my favorite director, and I can't wait to see what he does with this one....

Dear Oliver Stone,
Stop making sense.*
Sincerely,
Me & David Byrne
*"sense" in this case stands in for "movies"

How the fuck do you turn the sound down on this thing? The second you hover the mouse over the volume-button and try to move it up towards the actual controls it disappears.
