    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 his conspiracy theories political ideas and use his not inconsiderable cinematic talent to make non-biographical movies.


    My choice for actor to portray W would be Leslie Nielsen.

    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.

    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.

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    He could certainly do the job; slap a faux-Texas accent on 'im. God, does he ever breathe?

    There is only one man worthy of this role:

    THE SHAT

    They both talk equally slowly and neither of them really makes sense...

    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.

    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.

    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...
