- MarkHunneyman, on 05/09/2008, -9/+84Brolin looks way too smart and sincere for Bush
- VinnieDaMac, on 05/09/2008, -2/+55Am I the only one that thinks he looks nothing like George W. Bush in that picture?
- DeepFriedFetus, on 05/09/2008, -16/+67I'm nervous about this film...I don't think a single movie can really sum up Bush's eight years of fascism and tyranny.
- Cheeselover, on 05/09/2008, -2/+51Why not have him play himself? He was pretty good in Harold and Kumar 2
- aceakm, on 05/09/2008, -2/+37Looks like he's trying to thinkificate.
- ltkerr0r, on 05/09/2008, -2/+28I guess Will Ferrell turned down the role
- caldroun, on 05/09/2008, -0/+25"resemblance is pretty striking"? What pictures are you looking at?
- conmulligan, on 05/09/2008, -5/+28Great casting. They should get Jon Stewart to play Cheney; put him in a fat suit and he's perfect...
- drunkwally, on 05/09/2008, -7/+25You don't understand.
Now is the time to complain about someone like Bush - someone who tortures and detains without trial.
Once things get as bad as they are in North Korea or China, then it's too late to complain. Then you get killed for complaining. So STFU Retard. - doctorfungi, on 05/09/2008, -10/+27Oh for ***** sake. Go live in North Korea, China or Tibet for a year and tell me that you live under a fascist, tyrannical leader. You don't even appreciate how good you have it.
- GuyHitByTruck, on 05/09/2008, -0/+17I'm just glad this isn't a Kevin Smith movie, 'cause you know Ben Affleck would be playing Bush
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -4/+21As for a a lead actor, might I suggest Sprinkles the Chimp from the city zoo
- cheese06, on 05/09/2008, -2/+16Oliver Stone says it will be released in October, during the height of the general election. This is pure Stone right there, right in the middle of the controversy, and undoubtedly put the movie into media spotlight for months to come. He plays his cards well I suppose.
I highly doubt this movie will be objective, but I'm looking forward to seeing it. Its a Stone movie anyways, its not meant to be objective. - havokzero, on 05/09/2008, -2/+16Excellent post... but the final proclamation really wasn't necessary. It undermined your intelligence, and it made you come off as a real prick.
- tomjm5000, on 05/09/2008, -3/+17Brolin is a great actor, but other than that first photo, it's an iffy look alike.
- SlapAyoda, on 05/09/2008, -3/+15Doesn't look anything like him, sorry. Might still be a good movie, though. Also, seeing this makes me feel old for growing up watching The Goonies.
- DCstewieG, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10Yeah he doesn't have that glimmer of stupidity in his eyes.
- skinrock, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9He looks like Brian Williams if you ask me.
- lougoose, on 05/09/2008, -4/+13Nope, I think it fits in pretty well right now.
- KnockoutNerd, on 05/09/2008, -2/+10http://www.hno.harvard.edu/gazette/2003/04.17/phot ... No one better.
- silversword990, on 05/09/2008, -3/+11The movie may come too soon if McCain becomes president.
- rings035, on 05/09/2008, -1/+9Well, at least Rob Corddry is playing Ari Fleischer...
- kurupttek, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Your mom is ***** Oliver Stone
- IllBeBack, on 05/09/2008, -2/+8But who would be ***** Ben Affleck then?
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+6I once ate a jelly bean that looked like Brad Pitt.
- Jibberwalk, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7Somewhere in there, there's a joke about Ben Affleck ***** the American public. I can't be arsed to find it though.
- jer2eydevil88, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7Actually I think its quiet timeless... I look forward fondly to a future where it is so much the norm that the man develops a fear of coming outside of his home from all the humiliation he has to endure when in public.
- masterm1nd, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Can someone tell me what the point of an obviously biased biography is? Ohh I see it's a biopic so they can pretend it's real pump you full of *****.
- FatLoser, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6Michael Moore attempts to sway elections with his movies. The problem is, Michael Moore is an obnoxious fatass hypocrite, so he turns off a lot of people and the opposing candidate benefits from his spectacle. Do you really think somebody who wants to see a Michael Moore film is A) a Republican or B) Likely to change their vote based on what is all to clearly an opinion piece masquerading as a documentary?
I take back the A) part. Plenty of Republicans see Moore's movies -- and he takes their money and pockets it. Then those who see his movies get so angered by his antics and are energized to vote and speak out against Moore's opinions. - matador3, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Too bad, that would have been epic.
- foxingworth, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms.
- mazzy12345, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5that title goes to Frank Caliendo. hands down.
- bcamp1973, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5I can see Oliver now..."Ok, Josh...look constipated...PERFECT! ...roll it!"
- protogenxl, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Back and to the Left
- minox, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4I'm sorry but I think that picture looks way more like Tony Snow than George Bush.
- elscorcho717, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4I go to Berklee College of Music with Josh Brolin's sister Molly. The whole family is crazy.
- cinefreak7, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5I don't think Brolin was chosen because he can look like Bush (he doesn't) but because of his acting skills (which he definitely has). Hey, this is from a director who managed to make Anthony Hopkins completely convincing as Richard Nixon and the physical resemblance there was non-existent.
- greenlight2001, on 05/09/2008, -2/+6Too smart... might overplay the role.
- TremorX, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4Or maybe he's constipulationated. Maybe he should fiberify his dietation.
- PunkRampant, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3He said a while ago that he wanted it to be fairly neutral, but judging by the scene descriptions on the last page of this article, the movie looks like it'll have a ton of attacks on Bush's perceived stupidity.
Bush confesses to a televangelist, ''The truth is, I really don't want to run [for president].... But I feel that God wants me to do this, and I must do it. I MUST.'' - jer2eydevil88, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Yo! Phantoms like a *****!!
- planksconstant, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4you sir, are a moron.
- ZombieAaronBurr, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5Yeah cuase Fahrenheit 9/11 totally bombed. Just made like what? $100 million? Psst.
(Not saying I take that movie to be the Bible, just pointed out the idiocy of shyboy2008's comment.) - MrQuoz, on 05/09/2008, -3/+6Yeah, because Bush is so in touch with the common man. He's only the president with the lowest approval rating ever.
- DarkSenay, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3I'll always see Josh Brolin as Brandon (Mikey's older brother) from the Goonies
- jer2eydevil88, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Look guys the Chinese are paying people to make their government look good. I think its safe to say the Olympics are going to go really well this year...
