I haven’t seen any of this “fair and balanced” in the trailers. I’ve seen nothing but Bush bashing. Sorry Ollie. I’m gonna pass.

Stone is obviously jealous of the close, personal relationship of GWB and GHWB. Stone had not such a relationship with his father. He must denigrate what he values. Also, does he think anyone will embrace his selection of far Leftwing loonys to portray the Bush inner circle? This picture will be a disaster just like all the other Leftwing loony pictures of the recent past.

Critics, even liberal ones, such as on NPR, are basically savaging this movie.

He should have made this movie 3-4 years ago at the height of Bush hatred.

and psychoanalyzes the parent-child relationship between elder George H.W. Bush and junior George W.

As Michael Medved pointed out in his review, almost all of Stone's films feature ugly, fractured father-son relatonships.

V.S. Naipaul said once that nonfiction writers may lie, but fiction writers always tell the truth...about their own psychological problems.

Stone’s own mother might disagree. Evidently, she is a Republican who doesn’t think too much of the film. Stone confessed to the Los Angeles Times that she “didn't really like the movie.”...Sounds as though it isn't "W" defining himself against a parent with whom he's in conflict, but Ollie himself......

Stone's Nixon cost $44 million to produce and made a grand total of $13.5 million in domestic sales. Hopefully “W” does the same.

Josh Brolin is the son of James Brolin, who gave a truly terrible performance as Ronald Reagan in a made for TV movie from a few years back.

Did you know that the phone lines were cut at 1 pm on the east coast the day JFK was shot? well, may be only in Oliver’s head but not in reality. In Hollywood they call that “dramatic license”, in Washington they call it spin, and everywhere else it's called lying your ass off!

Stone should have stayed in the grassy knoll.

To Oliver Stone this is fair and balanced, hey he didn’t have anything in the movie about Bush plotting 9-11 or blowing up levees in New Orleans.

I saw Josh Brolin, Oliver, and Charlie Rose just laughing their asses off about Bush with some serious conversation about his evangelical believes that Stone believes he violated.

Of course the Brolin’s step-mother is Barbara Mega-Streisand and his father played Ronald Reagan in a more dispicable movie about the Reagan’s.

No liberal can understand George Bush. Liberals don’t even understand the country they’re living in.

There’s a reason that Hollywood is so Liberal. It’s because most of the people in the industry are so self-absorbed with themselves that they can’t stand anyone who either disagrees with them, or, who can’t help them get into a movie or a 3-picture deal to help further their pathetic careers.

I think that Milli Vanilli has had more hits than Oliver Stone.

I know how much the right despised Clinton but BUSH DERANGEMENT SYNDROME has made those 8 years seem like a love fest.

I have lived through every President since Roosevelt [don't remember him but do remember Truman] and if you take all the hate, anger, vitriol and vilification of all them added together, it would be just a fraction of what has been levied on President Bush.

I don't believe that history, which is often kinder to unpopular Presidents, will lessen the HATE felt for this President.

The nadir disrespect and hate of a sitting President is reached when there is a movie about his assassination and another which depicts him as a stupid, evil, autocrat drunkard!!

We plan on seeing “An American Carol” this weekend to counter Stone’s movie.
