This actually might be good. What was the last good movie that Stone made?

Didn't he make some 9/11 movie?

I hope it's more accurate than Stone's movie about the Kennedy assassination. He plays pretty lose with the facts.

The release date is Oct. 17. The election is Nov. 4.
I would guess Oliver Stone wants W. to influence the election in Obama's favor.

I want to influence the election too. Who doesn't?

The trailer is awesome. I can't wait to see this. And DD, yeah, I hope it does influence the election. But why do you assume Oliver Stone is either pro-Obama or anti-McCain?

"JFK" is a brilliant film, although, yes, it is full of half-truths and even lies. The scary thing is, many viewers at the time thought it was "fact." Give Stone credit, though, for creating a highly influential piece of propaganda.
I think it's amusing Stone would do a film about Bush. I don't have any expectations about the film or worry about it being factual or not, just as I wasn't worried about "Fahrenheit 9/11" being "factual." It is a shame few filmmakers have had the guts to take on the Bush administration, so I give Stone some credit for that. Perhaps I will see his W film. Not sure.

No matter how hard Stone tries, he isn't going to beat W in the loose facts business.

"No matter how hard Stone tries, he isn't going to beat W in the loose facts business."
Okay Skep, that wins post of the day! Nice job!

Everytime I've read "Bush - loose with the facts", I get a mental picture of WPE as "Loose Stools".

Looks great! I'm gonna see it.
IMHO, W is perfect for Stone. Where there is ambiguity, he really shines because he can make it compelling.
All of the emotion surrounding this President is just bleeding to be channeled into a good movie.
Bet it's a home run!
--->I loved JFK, BTW. It sucked me right in, was very immersive and thought provoking.

KSKD sez: "It sucked me right in"
That's exactly what I want from a movie going experience.

Ill wait for his version of Curious George with Obama

Feel better now?

"Or what about his version of "Little black Sambo" featuring Obama.

That will be Jesse Jackson's first film.
Mc74 will be camping out to be first in line.
