Film School Rejects: Oliver Stone to Direct Bush Biopic

    this is just the most awful idea ever.

    Is this going to be a dark comedy?

    Way too soon. Remember how "well" the 2 Bush comedies did on Comedy Central? And how "well" movies about Iraq have done?

    The rushed time table is stupid. Someone somewhere thinks "Its fresh in their minds, they want to see it!" Why go pay to see it when we're still living it?

    Rushed or not doesn't matter to Stone. While Nixon got praised in critical circles, it was a box office bomb. And Alexander the Great has been dead for years.

    The ony reason JFK did well wasn't because it was about a president, but rather it was about the conspiracy... or maybe because it had a scene where Kevin Bacon talked about taking it up the butt...

    Maybe Josh Brolin's stepmother Streisand convinced him to do it. He'll have to get an Oscar for acting that stupid. Yeah -- nook-you-lar. Sheesh.

    Stone doesn't care about accuracy. I met one of the JFK film advisors who got nowhere with Stone when he said things like "That's not the way it was. " Stone told him "it's not history, it's entertainment."
