Comments on: Oliver Stone's "W." Backfires

National Review Online: Director Intended To Make Us Come Out Hating Bush, Instead He Makes Bush More Likeable

[Tinkerthinker]

We the people are so tired of the MSM and the movie industry blatant biases and sexism! Your treatment of Sarah Palin and Joe the plumber have been deplorable! And I resent it! I am joining every effort I can to bring you down, you do not deserve to put your opinions out there as the truth! You have become psychotic! You lost all credibility.

Huh? Director Oliver Stone had mentioned several times that he intentionally made Bush more human. He also wanted to focus on Bush''s younger years up until his presidency, not so much on 9/11 and after. I understand NRO will bash everything they consider "liberal", but the writer of this article obviously doesn''t get it.

Funny how art imitates life. I saw "W" and thought also that it was not very good.

But, now that I think of it, 8 years of the real "W" was pretty much like sitting through a bad movie too!

i can only hope that when obama wins,he remembers all of the republican defenders like this jerk hoopes, fox network, and all of the right-wing radio hosts, and either put them out of business or put them in jail.it will be interesting to see how many of them will start kissing azz to keep their jobs. "IF YOU NEVER TELL A LIE, YOU DONT HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID''

"Only an absolute fool"...would post the same comment 3 times to get it published...

I can''t believe CBS published this article. A round of applause, please!

Wow - it must have taken the author a long time to figure out a way to make this film end up being a campaign plus for John McCain...

The lesson however in the end is maybe we should try electing someone who is objectively intelligent for once rather than the guy who runs the dirtier campaign.

What an idiotic review. Stone claimed to be making a film that was empathetic to Bush and to show how he became what he is without the massive backdrop of either 9/11 or the war. This reviewer obviously just wanted to make a review into something political, which is why the rest of us hate the repiglicans.....every single point ever made has to be turned to their advantage (in their own minds).

I read this article thinking that it would be an objective movie review. Needless to say, there was no objectivity here!

Maybe Josh Brolin should have been president for the last 8 years then?

"hated Bush going in - and kind of liked the guy when they came out"

Everyone takes a liking to the class clown or the village idiot when they see him in action and not just hear about the dumb bushit the pulled. But most times we pity the idiot.
