My favorite line in the trailer, “you tried the “sports thing” and that wasn’t successful...” I guess Stone is referring to his sales of the Texas Rangers for millions.

I’m sure that this will be a real blockbuster...

I predict that it will be released to DVD before it’s theater run is over...and on HBO ad nauseum...

I pity the poor-@ss investers who got hoodwinked into the investment. On the other hand, served them right.

How do you describe something that is so bad, that it’s indescribable?

Stone making a movie about Bush is a credible as Dillinger making a movie about J.E.Hoover.
If a single review of the movie does not include a “consider the source” disclaimer,one may dismiss it with contempt as common,dull and ignorant leftist propaganda.

George Bush as a doofus. And they say there are no original ideas coming out of Hollywood.

Yes!! Ground-breaking, thought-provoking and courageous film-making there Stoney.

You know that is the name W would give Ollie Stone. "Hey Stoney!"

Liberals often hate themselves into bankruptcy.
It’s what they do.
But if they happen to win,the socialist monopolies they force on America more than compensates for their losses.
If they didn’t hate the U.S. and individual freedom so much,their risk-taking dedication would make them outstanding Americans.

The Zucker brothers (airplane, naked gun) are working on a spoof about a liberal film maker (Michael Malone). Sound familiar?
