It doesn't look that great to me. But I kind of thought it was silly to do a movie about a sitting President anyway. I wonder if there is going to be any allusions to conspiracy theories in this one. It just wouldn't be an Oliver Stone movie without them.

Well, one startling fact about GWB is that he was not much more than a nare-do-well alcoholic up to age 40.

Not many people go on a that long a bender and recover --- but what's evident about GWB is how those years didn't lay the best foundation for him to succeed as President of the USA.

GWB is essentially a guy who went from an alcoholic phase to a born-again-Christian phase. Neither mindset lends itself particularly well to sober rule (pardon the pun) or a pragmatic, wise way of making decisions.

Aah another piece of crap by that noted historian Oliver Stone. The previews look like a parody of a bad movie. Without the parody part I'm sure.

A lot of alcoholics have led very productive and interesting lives. Unlike a lot of folks, I don't criticize GWB for having a drinking problem in the past.

Yeah.....Pop's jumped out of plane in his 80's but homie{jr} is just a little too scrawny for me to be portrayed as ''Dick the Bruiser'' {or womanizer} in his younger days even when depicted in a Oliver Stone movie.

I'll take a pass - based on what I just saw....
