First W Trailer
July 31st, 2008
Well, based on this first glimpse of Oliver Stone’s upcoming biopic about the infamous George W. Bush, I think it’s safe to say it’s not going to be an unbiased presentation of the man. There seems to be a distinct accusational tone in the teaser, seemingly pointing the finger at us and saying: “This former college slacker frat boy is the guy you went on to elect as President.” Or at least some people did anyway. That aside, I’m not sure really how I feel about this. I still maintain what I said when I commented on the teaser poster: “It’s just so damn easy to make fun of the guy – and it’s been done so much now – that it’s getting old. I mean, I’m pretty sure a three year old could land a pretty good burn against the guy at this point. If all Stone’s W can offer is jokes that have been made before, then what’s really the point?”
