Ha, the 'what do you think you are, a Kennedy?' line made me lol.

WTF is up with low limit poker shit? And that wasn't even a stripper he was dancing with, I think it was just some random white trash. Booo, I'm disappointed.

why is this a must see? didn't we live through most of it (like the past 8 years of our lives) and hear about a lot of this stuff?

I plan on seeing this and I plan on laughing my ass off.

He will if W. reminded Stone that killing JFK doesn't have a statute of limitations.

I won't see the movie...isn't this some pretty bad timing. Bush jokes are SOOOOO lame now......you can't keep making the same joke over and over and over and over and over for six straight years.

do you even read the forums?

I saw this today, it was actually much better than I thought it would be. It was funny, and much less harsh on W than I thought it would be, I think the movie was reasonable fair ( at least, fairer than it could have been.) Much of his relationship with his father has to be pure speculation, but it made for an good story. I'd love to hear what a conservative thought of the movie.

I saw it last night. Didn't think it was good at all. He was portrayed as Forrest Gump with daddy issues.

They crossed the line when they showed him taking a shit and wiping his ass while talking to Laura about something important. Completely unnecessary and demeaning.

I just saw this and thought it was fantastic, I didn't think it demeaned the President or the Presidency at all, it just showed him as human. Of course a lot of it was not factual but from the beginning it isn't meant to be a biopic. It was sort of allegorical, and obviously most of the emotions and words said behind closed doors were invented, but it was really interesting and meaningful nonetheless. Also, parts were hilarious. I thought it was gonna be a lot of poking fun at W but it wasn't, and I think that's why I liked it a lot better than I had expected to.

Random funny parts:

Immediately as George Tenet submits his resignation, Rumsfeld takes an enormous bite of pie.

W. knowing all the nicknames at frat initiation.

Colin Powell vs. Cheney.

Condi Rice - I mean look at the way she is portrayed. They are all sort of larger than life characters, almost like its a play rather than a movie, and certainly isn't meant as a biography. Anyways though, Condi was hilarious.

Toby Jones as Karl Rove.


And Brolin was fantastic, is there any reason why he was not nominated for an Oscar?

Brolins performance was the only thing that kept me from ejecting the disk.
