Mother Jones - Comments for "Roundtable Review: W."

I thought the movie was terrible. It was boring and obvious. I wasted atleast an hour and half visually seeing things I all ready knew

hey mr.William Eon Bravoo !!!!!!

Went to see the movie. General reaction of most of the audience overheard on the way out? BOR-ing. Certain parts of it were interesting but basically it was deja vu all over again that was depressing. Also got the feeling that Stone was conflicted on just how to portray Bush--as a caricature or as a tragic man as in a Greek drama--a man with a tragic flaw that causes all the destruction around him. sorry, but just thought it wasn't worth the $6 I paid to see it. I have to give kudos to the actors though. Especially Richard Dreyfuss who was extraordinary as Cheney, the obsequious courtier that manipulates the strings. Also his running battle with Powell.
Better to wait for the DVD when you can rent it for $1.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but that movie was awful! Stone took so many liberties with the whole nature of the Bush family and his inner feelings that, as far as I'm concerned, anything in the movie that I didn't already know, that isn't common public knowledge, I feel as though I need to completely throw out as hogwash (W.'s relationship with his father and brother, for example - which is a cornerstone of the film!)

If I had any say in the casting of Stone's W, I would have begged John Goodman to revise his award winning role as Barbara Bush.

Naaah... the movie is schite. Big disappoint in the omissions. And I must say, this "dialogue" between the editors, et al was total schite as well.

One of my favorite jokes:

If Bush and Cheney were on a sinking boat, who would be saved?

The rest of the world.

My favorite Bush Joke is-This isn't funny anymore!Bush and Cheney should have been impeached on so many charges that Kuscinich took hours to read them but , simply put, they lined their pockets on the blood of Innocents and copied the methods of the people that attacked us! They made America into a Nation that it was never intended to be and trounched on our Constitution and basic beliefs to do it! The less I see of Bush-Cheney, the happier I and the entire World will be!

sweet post

W is a Turd!
Run out of the Theater as fast as you can.
Stone is trying to make King George II a palatable person.
Feel sorry for the stoned drunk: George SIX-PACK!
I have a gut feeling!
Something much more insidious is at work here.
We were looking for The TRUTH and all we got were: Sugar coated half truths!
As far as The BUSH family name goes!
Do you think that these Euro-trash,
Neo-Con ,
Nazi Sympathizers:
Stay up late at night worrying about their family name?
Sorry!
They’re Cold Blooded Killers.

W was Right.
They write history.
It is a script.
No weapons of destruction here!

That is why he never bothers to read it.
It is all about you.
It is all meant for you.
The Grand Delusion!
W knows it's all PROPAGANDA,
Misinformation,
Conditioning.
and
Rovien Turd Blossom Garbage.

Bush is a low level operative of
Emperor Ratschild
Now you know where all the money went!
FIRE SALE!

The Bush family of cowardly,
Traitors and Treasonous,
Lying, Spying,
Torturous, Murderous,
Vote Stealing,
Assassins.

Stone serves up another bowl of
Regurgitated
Gruel.

Where's the Meat?

Just wondering if W's cowardly act of joining the "TX Air National Guard", during the Vietnam war, will be depicted, and if so will it go into some detail. This act by Bush was just as cowardly as McCain's aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese.

Just saw the movie and it seemed to really capture the personna of all of the players and particularly displayed the megalomania of "W" himself. The movie hinted at the profound damage that an insecure megalomaniac can wreak upon the world when surrounded by men and women who understand the sickness and use it for their own benefit.

The movie "W" was not shown in Casper,
WY, the home of Dick Cheney. I don't
know about the rest of the state.
