Who do you think you are? A Kennedy?

This weekend, audiences got their first look at W., Oliver Stone‘s most recent attempt at generating controversy.

Oy… it was self-evident that Stone wasn’t going to paint an attractive portrait of our Commander-in-Chief, but this film really isn’t going to pull any punches. Is it presumptuous to bring out a biopic while the guy is still in office? I’m not sure, but I don’t think so. We’ve all had to live with Bush and his policies for 8 long years… and I think it’s valid for a filmmaker to take a critical look at the wounds while they’re still fresh.

I just wish that filmmaker wasn’t Oliver Stone! This film is going to be dismissed by half of America before it even hits screens.

Josh Brolin looks great, though, as Dubya. And, who knew Tony Blair was such a hottie?!
