If it's done well, I think it might do pretty well. I'd see it.

There's a movie I'm not going to see. Not until he's been deposed, at least.

Will it be a comedy?

I wonder if he's gonna add 9/11 truther bullshit like he added that kennedy conspiracy bullshit to that other film he made

I, for one, can't wait for the oral sex scene between he and an intern, and THEN the drama that unfolds when he lies to his wife and the nation about it!

Oh, I guess I'll have to wait for "Clinton" for that one :p

A film about the life of Shrub would look an awful lot like an episode of Family Guy, complete with countless people suffering with impugnity because of a sociopath's complete half-ass stumbles.

the movie also won't be complete without jedi

They will bill the movie as an epic disaster and will make millions!! :p

didn't they already make one (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032553/)?

Oh, typical far-left shit throwing. AMERICA, FUCK YEAH! :rolleyes:

Far-left? Are you serious?

For a second I actually thought the OP was referring to a movie about the life of a fern...

That aside, I expect Loose Change to play an integral part of the movie. Although I doubt we'll see any trick akin to using bellows to make smoke because modern rifles don't make smoke, as Stone found out while filming JFK.

GT is center-right.

Wahaha fucking hilari-oh that's about pathetic. Seriously.

But see, YOUR posts are an obvious bastion of reason and accomplishment.

This being Oliver Stone, it will no doubt be a overlong, overwrought, 4 hour over-indulgent borefest flop-a-doodle that will have Oliver saying afterwards he can't understand why it flopped so badly.
Here's a hint, Stoney:
It's because your movies are shit.

Just because his films don't pander to the low-attention-spanned ignorant dickweeds that make up the American populace, doesn't mean he makes bad movies. Some of us actually like intellectually inspiring (your talking to the person whose favorite move is Reds) deep movies, not random violence and pseudo-porn.

Oliver Stone is making a biopic on the life of George W Bush, wants Josh Brolin to star....

Stone, who has profiled U.S. presidents such as Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy, says he doesn't plan an anti-Bush film, but a complete portrait chronicling the Texan's rise to power.

"Here, I'm the referee, and I want a fair, true portrait of the man," Stone told Variety.

"How did Bush go from an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world? It's like Frank Capra territory on one hand, but I'll also cover the demons in his private life, his bouts with his dad and his conversion to Christianity, which explains a lot of where he is coming from."

A biopic on W just seems kinda boring....

He was set to make a film about the My Lai massacre, titled Pinkville, but that was cancelled late last year, ostensibly because of the Hollywood strike.

That probably would have been much more interesting....

He won Oscars for best director for Born on the Fourth of July and Platoon and was nominated for three Oscars for JFK.

He also reinterpreted dead rock star Jim Morrison in The Doors.

In 2002, he shot a documentary about Fidel Castro for HBO but the network demanded he balance the too-flattering portrait of the Cuban leader.

Last year, he attempted to film a documentary about President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, but his request for access was denied with an official reportedly dismissing the filmmaker as "part of the Great Satan."

LOLZ!!!!! :p

It won't be boring if he includes the grenade at Tblisi, the Segway, the Italian police escort, the pretzel, the brambles ...

I don't think they really need to make a film about W, we can all see for ourselves, right now, just how bad he is.

Given that the guy's already blown his reputation for impartiality or accuracy on the whole mess that was JFK, I sort of look forward to seeing what sort of inventions he'd bring to something like a W biopic. I'll download it, definitely. :)

Hah! In defense of Oliver Stone? Really? :p Theater audiences may be more interested in entertainment than education, but *Oliver Stone* is hardly the antidote. Wow. :p

Ahhh, the pretzel! It still makes me laugh! :p

Which is why 'Alexander' was such a wonderful movie. It was sooo deep and meaningful.
Also 'Any Given Sunday' was just sooooo good. My, but the lengthy times I a'had discussing the various intricacies and nuances there.
And we just know that the movie The Doors was anything but overindulgent, pseudo-intellectual toadying visual masturbation of the Jim Morrison legend masquerading as art. Shame that it was so stuffed up it's own pompous ass it came across as such.
And Platoon - whooo. "we did not fight the enemy; we fought ourselves. The enemy was in us." riiiiggghhht. Tell that to the 3.5 million Vietnamese you killed. "Take pity on us! We were fighting ourselves, not you! Really, you should apologise for making us do all these terrible things. Oh whoa is me!"

yep. Not pompous indulgent wankfest at all. Just really deeeeeeep and meaningful.

Not to ruin anyone's fun, but I do believe we already have a thread on this gentleman.

yes, why are there two threads on this subject, why is he doing it, and why does anyone care?

threads could probably be merged instead of 'canning' one (or both).

=^^=
.../\...

Merging, merging, gimme a break!

I wonder if he's gonna add 9/11 truther bullshit like he added that kennedy conspiracy bullshit to that other film he made

that's why i don't watch his films. i mean, getting some historical facts wrong, ok. but outright lying?
