They say it's pretty fair and neutral, but the trailers seem anti, or, rather, mocking. I might give it a go, but I think there are better things on right now so I'll probably wait for dvd rental.

I remember before the reagan movie came out people thinking it was anti-reagan, and I watched it and didn't see anything but anti-nancy, lol.

Josh Brolin needs to be a bigger movie star than he is--he seems like a character actor trapped in a leading man's body. The best kind! The previews look funny, but it's too soon for me....

Same here -- too soon for me, but I would like to see Oliver Stone's take some day. I don't have the stomach for this flick now. I'd rather go see Leo DiCaprio getting shot at. I can stomach that much better. LOL.

I dunno. Brolin pulls off the speech patterns well, but I'm at the point where I just sort of feel SORRY for Bush as a human being. His politics are clearly flawed and I condemn that completely, but I just feel bad for him that the Republican party has thrown him under the bus, they've made him the total pariah so they can look clean in this next election and place ALL blame on him, and I just don't want to watch a movie where he is trashed even more. Everyone says that in person, he's a really nice guy ("the guy you ant to have a beer with"), and I think we know a lot of people who are completely opposite of us politically, but we don't bash them and their personal character at every chance we get. I just think that I would have trouble watching a movie that is more of the same. As an Obama supporter, I WILL be happy if it is anti-Bush and the movie's convenient release date can sway a few voters. I just feel sorry for George W. Bush the human being right now. His friends have all abandoned him, and the public hates him, and his friends have made that even worse. It must be lonely and sad to face that reality.

As a president, not sure about GW, but the previews and trailers for this film make me like him more as a person. That's odd, right?

I get humanizing Bush, but his administration has caused so much suffering via his very human flaws. I think of Gitmo Bay and thousands of Iraqis who died and suffered for his choices--not to mention the soldiers sent to do the job. His administration's been a train wreck, a total train wreck. (which everyone knows, I know.) I get people feeling for him because we're all basically good people, but in his wake is a pile of crimes against humanity.

Good way to put it Nyheat. I feel for him because I am human, but definitely still hold his mistakes against him for sure.
