I'm trying to figure out where the audience for this movie will come from. Conservatives won't see it. The Far Lefties are absolutely done with this man. Stone fanatics have lost faith in the director who hasn't come anywhere near his best work over the last couple of years. That only leaves the few curious enough to hear Brolin attempt a Texas Draaaawl...and there won't be many of those.
W's gonna bomb at the box office.
I agree. But Jeffrey Wright as Colin Powell? Ellen Burstyn as Barbara Bush? I'm gonna go see it now.
yeah, i was thinking the same thing, aaron - it's not a necessary rabble rouser, like 'fahrenheit 9-11' was - i mean, what's the point, now? unless the movie directly indicts the us for electing him in the first place - unless it's confrontational in that way - it doesn't serve us in anyway.
but, like joaquin said, at the same time - man, this fuckin cast!
