3. The heartwarming story of how a simple boy...
...overcame privilege, power, and family connections, to fuck up every single job he touched.

Teaser from the movie poster:

"Bush: He couldn't turn a buck from a diamond mine."

5. It's a character study of a man...

it's not a film that has to be timed with the election; it's a character study of a man."

Stone looked carefully at actors before setting his sights on Brolin, whose career has drawn recent traction from memorable roles in "No Country for Old Men" and "American Gangster." Brolin just began work on the Gus Van Sant-directed "Milk," playing Dan White, the San Francisco pol who gunned down Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. While Brolin won't make a formal deal until financing is sealed, he can be ready for an April start.

"Josh is actually better looking than Bush but has the same drive and charisma that Americans identify with Bush, who has some of that old-time movie-star swagger," Stone said.



Yeah, a real character study....

7. Heh

How does one study character where there is none.

Nazi Germany, 1938...

I can't imagine this film will be any good unless it is factually based. Who will play Barbara Bush? How about all the other disgusting siblings" I'm sorry, but with that many "characters", I'm afraid most people would rather stick needles in their eyes than to study that kind of "character".

My initial thought.... a real Mad Magazine "Yeeech!"....

8. "Character study of a man."
I'm confused. I thought the movie was about Bush.
