It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: W
Don't worry- you'll like it. Brolin plays Bush and it's directed by Stone. It's pretty much guaranteed to be unflattering.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re : W
Meh, I'm not a fan of Stone. He takes himself much too seriously. He has very specific ideas about his historical subjects, which he then builds an entire movie around. Usually, I find the idea rather uninteresting, or worse, and the movie eminently unwatchable. (JFK, Alexander)
The guy should just start a blog for hisconspiracy theoriespolitical ideas and use his not inconsiderable cinematic talent to make non-biographical movies.
My choice for actor to portray W would be Leslie Nielsen.
Re: Re : W
Nah mate, Rowan Atkinson. Sorry hang on, I've heard he's pencilled in to do Brown in the 'The Way of the Clunking Fist'.
In that case Lee Evans. He's got the hair and the ears already.

He could certainly do the job; slap a faux-Texas accent on 'im. God, does he ever breathe?Nah mate, Rowan Atkinson. Sorry hang on, I've heard he's pencilled in to do Brown in the 'The Way of the Clunking Fist'.

Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Re : W
There is only one man worthy of this role:
THE SHAT
They both talk equally slowly and neither of them really makes sense...

Re: W
Funny, eh? All the folks nominated here to portray W = non-americans (Neilsen & Shatner = Canadian, Evans = Brit). You all may be right: it'll be a few years before an american can "get" Bush right.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: W
IMO it is too early for this movie. From what I have seen it looks like there is a lot about his time as an adult but before becoming president. I don’t know much about this time and I am guessing not many people do so it will be easy for most of the mouth-breathers to take it as fact. I will watch it as a rental.

Re: Re : W
He might be able to pull it off. His American accent in Something About Mary was pretty good (the directors thought his English accent was fake!), but I'm not sure he could slow it down enough for Bush's pacing. He would definitely have to lay off the cocaine...Nah mate, Rowan Atkinson. Sorry hang on, I've heard he's pencilled in to do Brown in the 'The Way of the Clunking Fist'.
