Something Not Worth Seeing
Filed under: Film Flickers > Media Minute
Oliver Stone is set to film W., a biopic on the life and presidency of George W. Bush.
A little premature for this????
Currently, Josh Brolin is set to play Bush, but who's going to portray Lara?
Reports are that actress Elizabeth Banks (above) is currently in the final negotiations to play Lara.
Banks just recently finished shooting a movie titled Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
The W. film will begin shooting in April or May in Louisiana.
The screenplay was written by Oliver Stone and his co-writer on Wall Street, Stanley Weiser.
Will U watch W?
We'd rather go see the Rachael Ray life story….on Lifetime!

What's lara?
Yes a bit soon. But I am glad he is doing it while he is still alive to debunk and Oliver Stonish shenanigans he usually plays.
The guy is a kook. And Bush is too.
… but who will play Jenner and Barbra?
Who's "LARA"?
On second thought, WHO CARES?
booooo.
no im not watching that.
booo bush.
Only Perez's bush stinks worse than the president.
Who is Lara?… ;D
ya, i'll watch it when it comes out on dvd
**Adore** Elizabeth Banks! I'd see any movie with her in it. Soooo great in 40 Yr Old Virgin…and The Baxter.
Re: Daryl – i couldnt agree more, perfectly worded.
You're dumber than Paris Hilton!!! IT'S LAURA BUSH you fucking idiot, not Lara!!!!!
you guys are a bunch of idiots. how dare you talk about a president like that.
like him or not, have a little respect.
that's the difference between liberals and republicans..
liberals are poor, useless, unintelligent, "shitty excuse for american" idiots who have nothing better to do but try to gravitate attention towards themselves by drifting from the norms.
and
republicans are respectful, successful, and intelligent individuals who know the difference between sugar-coated bullshit (e.g. obama) and the real way things work.
It's LAURA Bush. I know you don't like Bush, but dude, you should at least know the first lady's name.
I like Oliver Stone. And I like Elizabeth Banks. Don't hate on her Perez. She's funny. And Lara?!
Learn to spell…at least check what you typed!
Re: Cate – you couldn't be more right
Elizabeth Banks is The Best!
I'd rather watch the KEVIN SMITH movie - Zack & Miri Make a Porno
They should have a grain of sand play the role of W. The dingleberry swingin' from my ass would re-enact Laura just perfectly!
Re: Cate – Wow! I would love to read the research you have done on this subject. Oh wait you are just probably spewing bull shit. Way to put everyone in a box. I know many liberals with Ph.D's and many who are just shitty people HOWEVER I also know many republicans who can't read past a 7th grade level and blame minorites for all thier problems. I think you need to stop being so black and white because the world does not work in absolutes.
Re: STEVE OD – You say no one wants his opinion, yet here you are, reading his blog. pretty fucking stupid steve.
Re: Katie – Get a job to pay for your healthcare. I have great insurance which I pay for and have had to use for serious health issues. Quit depending on the government to take care of you. Pay to send your children to private school or home school them. President Bush tried to turn social security over to the private sector — liberals wouldn't allow it. Always depending on the government to take care of them. If Bush is not your President, please move out of the country. If you really believe terrorists are not a serious threat please move to the Middle East. They will truly respect your thougts there — if you are allowed to speak.
Re: dirty liberals – Erm, dude - there have been good republican presidents, Eisenhower for example. But Bush (1) lied about Iraq being involved in 9/11; (2) is selling high-tech weapons to the Saudis, who *were* involved in 9/11; (3) borrowed money from China, Mexico, Russia, and other potential rivals to fund the war; (4) raised gas prices from $1.30/gallon to $4.50/gallon, with his friends in the oil business posting record profits; (5) increased the size and expenditures of government more than any democrat in history; (6) instituted a domestic surveillance system that has tax payers paying billions of dollars to spy on ourselves; (7) broke the Geneva Convention, making the USA an international human rights villain; (8) refused to listen to his own generals regarding Iraq, plunging us into an endless quagmire rather than securing the country; (9) pulled troops out of Afghanistan to shore up Iraq, opening previously secured areas to Taliban insurgents; and (10) is lying about Iran (Saudi Arabia's biggest rival, now that Saddam is gone) building a nuclear weapon. Oh, and he just fired General Fallon (the guy in charge of Central Command) for saying that bombing Iran is stupid. Hey, why trust people with actual military experience when you can listen to John Negroponte, arguably the most evil man alive today, who couldn't even win a war with tiny, impoverished Nicaragua.
.
But I'll go see the movie. Oliver Stone is the perfect guy to tell this story.
Of course I'll see it…and be respectful, dammit. It is "Laura" and even if you don't like this particular President, at least be respectful to the position. I'm sure you were one of the Clinton ""worshippers" even after he blatantly disrespected the Office of the People by allowing his dick to get sucked off and shoving a cigar up that broad…as far as I'm concerned, the moral degradation of the Clinton Administration far outweighs ANYTHING that Bush could possibly do wrong.
As for Oliver Stone, he is touch and go with his films, and I hope he doesn't let the "immediacy" of liberal hatred of Bush get in the way of being impartial to the reality of Bush's life.
Remember NO ONE is perfect or beyond reproach (unless your Bill Clinton, of course…*rolling eyes*), so think before you brow-beat the current President…
YES….I'm so sick of people jumping on the " hate Bush" bandwagon. If you TRULY have a clue as to why you dislike the man that's one thing, but don't dislike him because it's the 'in" thing to do.
The guys who coined the phrase "greed is good" are PERFECT to write about George W . Bush, am I right???
I know this is totally annoying, but the only reason I'm commenting is to affirm my belief that George Bush's wife's name is L-a-u-r-a. As in, Laura, the First Lady, not Lara. Seriously…I know nothing about her, I'm not American, but I just needed to comment to see if others noticed too. We all make mistakes though. I'd be more forgiving of you if you were more forgiving towards some celebs you uneccessarily bash.
I know Elizabeth Banks — formerly Liz Mitchell — from UPenn (undergrad). She truly is a talented, charismatic, and smart woman. I would definitely watch it, if anything, to see her. Liz reminds me of a classy, smart, and far more attractive version of that annoying, pretentious and smug twat known at Gwyneth Paltrow. Congratulations Elizabeth!!
uh, it's Laura, not LARA!!!
who in the world is lara? lara croft? what??? you mean LAURA bush?? give me a break, perez. you supposedly follow politics, are ridiculous in her adoration of Hilary (and you spell that correctly) but you can't spell the first lady's name right?? that is sad.
it's LAURA you idiot!!
LAURA LAURA LAURA LAURA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once the twit is out of office, I hope to never hear his name or see his stupid face again!!!!!!
may i suggest jack nikelson in his joker face for the part of lora? mrs obama is going to star in the james brown story on a and e next month.
Re: Cate – Bush sucks and so do you
I WILL SEE IT WITH PLEASURE! YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TO GW…HE STICKS TO WHAT HE BELIEVES IN! I STILL LIKE GW AND WHAT HE STANDS FOR! FROM A CONSERVATIVE THAT LIKES PEREZ!
Bush Derangement Syndrome. Not enough that the guy is leaving the Presidency…his haters want him completely destroyed. Don't you think the right hated Clinton as much as the left hates Bush? Well, we did..and we do…but we do not run the media…I doubt either Hillary or Obama could endure what GW Bush has endured a a human being for the last 7 years.
PEREZ IS SUCH A STUPID DOUCHE, EVEN WITH THE INTERNET AT HIS FINGERTIPS HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE NAME OF THE FIST LADY OF THE USA… AND THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE/TYPO , HE WROTE LARA TWICE… how can you fucking idiots be fans of someone like perez, oh yeah… hip hop mentality
It's Laura, not Lara -_-
And no, I won't watch it.
Bush is a disgrace, sorry to inform everyone.
you uneducated FUCK
LAURA…not LARA
Re: the retard generation – I agree
WTF? No way. Is this Ashton Kutcher pulling his usual BS?? They'd couldn't pay ME to see this crap.
Hell No-can't wait for President Fucktard to be gone. Everything wrong with the US, gas prices, dead soliders, trillion dollar debt, illegals, houseprices dropping etc. etc.. is because of that douchbag -but mostly all the fucking retards that voted for Bush…all of you are to blame for putting this idiot in control.
Re: Katie – If you're going to make a statement, you better well be prepared to back it up…What did he do to ruin Social Security? What did he turn down for education? He produced one of the largest education spending bills in history. This President has given more to Africa and AIDS research than ANY other sitting President. STOP LISTENING TO THE LIBERAL NEWS….it just make you look really, really stupid…
Hell No I won't watch this…I didn't vote for the man. I can't wait until he's out of the office and I do NOT want to see his story on the big screen. I'll stand in line for Rachael Ray before I ever stand in line for this S**T!
If the end of the movie involved Bush getting thrown under a bus, then yes, that is the only way I would spend my $10 bucks to see it. He stinks. They should have cast Beavis or Butthead to play him..NOT Josh Brolin!
Just how many assholes have to spell "LAURA"? Once someone makes the correction, why do you fucking idiots keep repeating it? It's as stupid as calling "FIRST"!
Jesus, her name is Laura… How can you even pretend to care about politics if you don't even know the first lady's goddamn name?!
Re: Hailey – Actually there is no GWB senior. Double yous father is is George HW Bush. Just so you know.
Re: bushisadick – I really wish you knew what you were talking about.
Is it a tragedy?
That would be the only way to convey how this man has single handedly handed over all power and made us the laughing stock of the world to have such an asinine person presiding over the former "Super Power" of the world…..no thanks…..on second thought…..maybe just to see how they portray when he is reading the freaking goat story to the kids in Florida and his reaction to the WTC "attacks" Bitch ass….
I can't wait to see the life of George Bush on the big screen! To see him torture animals as a teenager! To see him burn his classmates with cigarettes in College? To see him drink so much that he is brain damaged through his Presidency! Good Stuff!
Re: hkwhite – On a fag loving website, I doubt you will get your quote unquote, Republican views, across. If everyone were a Republican or a Democrat and nothing inbetween, we would have a fully malfunctional House and Senate. If we only had Democrats, the rich would get screwed. If we only had Republicans, the middle and lower classes would get screwed.
You are like a captain that would rather sink with his ship than swim.
BTW many Republicans are not going to vote for McCain because the vast majority of us Americans are fucking tired of the war and the surge might be working, but there is no end in sight to this war and you cant blame us Americans for wanting to elect someone that wants to fix problems created by Bush instead of perpetuating them.
VIVA BIPARTISANSHIP
Re: Bella – I like the way you think. Perhaps a conservative director-producer could make a movie about Bill Clinton. Instead of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", we could have "Crouching Intern, Hidden Cigar."
#71 - anti barry says – reply to this
Barry – well barry i guess 4 more years of war and this economy or worse will make a dolt like you a happy not to smart person
"happy not to smart person"
Uhhhhhhh…OK. And for the record simpleton I don't support McCain. I just don't believe America is as evolved as it should be.
Jesus, the wife of the President of the United States is named LAURA
Man you are stupid. 30, stupid, and fat … clearly a winning combination. Get back to covering the color of celebs' public hair, it's all you do well.
elizabeth banks looks like a young candice bergen.
You want us to pay to watch the life of a baffon on the big screen? We get to see what a pile of shit his legacy as president has become everyday for free.
Thanks for the laugh though….
Who will be cast as our drunken Monkey in Chief in the movie? Curious George perhaps? Inquiring minds want to know….
Who is Lara? You mean Laura?
our first lady's name is Laura, not Lara…you ignorant fathead!
journalism major, much?
Do you think the usual cast of characters will be in the movie?
~Brother Neil Bush - the one that screwed taxpayers out of millions in the Savings & Loan scandal
~John " So High and Mighty" McCain - who was totally against him during the 2000 election and now kisses his ass (look up The Keating Five people)
~Laura"Hit & Run" Bush - who ran a stopsign and killed another driver in the process, then she gets off with a slap on the wrist
~Scotter Libbey - another criminal from Bu$h's administration
~Donald Rhumsfeld - walking skeleton and war criminal himself (Project for a New American Century member)
~Micheal "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job" Brown - complete imbecile who stood by like a damn fool after Hurricane Katrina and threw up his hands instead of doing his damn job
hell ya ill watch it….and ill buy every copy of it and give it to everyone in their christmas stockings! yayyy georgey
xoxo
Re: Da Man – WHAT'S "PUBLIC" HAIR?
Re: anti barry – make that not "too" smart- for someone calling people down on their intellect, you seem pretty stupid.
Re: Buster Cherry – Jimmy Carter is, by all accounts, the worst president in the history of this country. Had he been a drunk or an idiot, he would have sat back and done little to hurt us. He also said "nucular" instead of nuclear, and "relator" rather than "realtor". That wouldn't be so bad but he claimed to have been a "Nucular engineer", which he wasn't. Carter is a traitor. He has made remarks that should have had him arrested for treason. But, since he is about as important as a gnat's ass and has been a major embarrassment to our nation, no one bothers to put him to death. I m so sick of hearing him deified when he was really a horrible, incompetent president who was crushed in the popular vote when he ran for re-election. Now he is a bitter traitor.
I'll definitely watch it.
Oliver Stone is a whack job, conspiracy believer, Bush hater, and a little psycho around the edges. I know this to be true. Be good Oliver and open up your eyes.
Which Bush…Jr. or Sr.?
Christ, you guys are dumbasses. It's LAURA. I'm surprised you didn't spell George as Jorge. Idiots.
Yeah, get in quick and re-tell history in the way you want the public to remember it, and try to distract the masses from the fact that it's actually all about OIL and OPIUM…. WAKE UP!
Re: Atlanta Belle – AB, Not only is he bitter, his wife has turned into a witch looking hatefilled vessel. You probably know about it more than I, since I assume you live in Atlanta. Say hi! to the buddies on Buckhead!
Re: Cate – President Bush is "Educated"?????? You are both stupid jackasses that should fall into the ocean!
Dont worry my liberal douchbags,next he'll do a movie on BARACK OBAMA,called'Monkey in the Middle", it's about a rising black politician who is raised by his white mother and her family,attends white schools..but when he runs for higher offices,he never mentions his white heritage. Is he ashamed of his white heritage? nobody really knows for sure, but he's desperately counting on the black vote even though they really don't know what he stands for,nor do they care…coming this fall-2008
Which Bush is the biggest family failure?
a) George W. Bush, our current president
b) Jeb Bush, former incompetent governor of Florida
c) Noelle Bush, Jeb's drug addict daughter
d) Neil Bush, the brother that they threw into a closet after the S&L scandal
Re: Katie – He has a BS from Yale. A BS from Harvard accompanied by a MBA from Harvard. What high school did you get your GED from? They only allow 128 people in the world to Harvard Business School. Of those, 40% flunk. He didn't. He owned part of a baseball team. Gov. of Tex. What does your resume look like? Jealous??? I bet!
Well, judging by the contents of this website, its affiliates and the Television in general, this movie will have all the scandal and stupidity that the average american finds appealing. I am not American. I am a proud Canadian. When I have children, I would like them to be born into a just and true country with worthy leadership and policies that care for its citizens.My country is beautiful. America is beautiful. We are also more the same than any of us is privvy to know. This is my opinion.
It is a fantasitic opprotunity for PUBLIC interest individuals/parties and members of the media to use this movie as a soapbox to voice concerns regarding the state of our countries. To rally support for a Publicly demanded questions that have been asked for years ,and for years have remained ignored, and unanswered. I will neither support, or try to devalue any. Just know, I write in as someone who wants others to take an interest in the world they, and their families live in. Humanity should truly enjoy and soak in the value of life. What stops the world from being this way?
If we all stood up at the same time, I believe the world truly would shake
Re: Atlanta Belle –
Honey, your beloved Bush is the worst president ever seen. You see how far the Republicans have gotten us here in GA. Sonny Purdue = dumbass of the year
This man waits until we are nearly out of drinking water to ask for federal help. I think I want to see what is really on his "Sonny Do List" he always talks about. God, this man is an IDIOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!
Re: Lynne – No, you guys are the ones that are stupid. Do you know how much your president is spending a month to keep our brothers, sisters, fathers, cousins and friends in Iraq?….12 BILLION DOLLARS!!!!(multiply that by how many YEARS we've been in Iraq) That could feed America's homeless for years! That could help a lot of our elders in their homes and allow them to not worry about how they're going to pay for their healthcare and prescriptions. That could give back all the homes to the people that lost theirs to foreclosure and probably house every single man, woman, and child in America!!!! And to the man that made the reply to me saying "get a job and pay for your own healthcare" My husband has a job that makes more than you and probably half your family combined and we do pay for our own healthcare. I am worried about the millions of people in America right now that worry how they're going to pay for theirs. Thousands of jobs are lost a month and that means atleast hundreds of people worrying how they're going to take their kids to the Dr. or pay for their medications.
Which is another thing America has to worry about because of your president: Do we pay for gas to go to work or put food on the table? Do we feed our children or pay the heating bill? Life is a constant struggle for most of everyone in America and you still stand behind a man that pockets millions of dollars from the gas and oil companies we pay our checks to??? I'm sorry, but YOU are the stupid ones. I've opened my eyes to a society of bullshit and a president that has shat on his people! He's still not my president! I didn't elect his dumb ass in, the only reason he's in office is because dead people in Texas and Florida voted and toothless wonders much like you and the rest of your imbread empty headed family. It does go to show that money speaks. I just feel sorry for America's children, we are now in a debt that we AND our children will probably never be able to get out of. It's so sad that just 8 years ago President Bill Clinton had us out of debt! Think about EVERYTHING before you speak and talk your shit to me. I'm not saying "All Republicans are bad" but I AM saying president Bushsucker is a moron and has ruined America for far too long!
Re: charles –
Hmmmm….what does McCain stand for?
Answer: Whatever is the popular view at the moment is what McCain stands for.
You Republicans talk so much shit about the Democrats, but look at this worthless hanger on you have as your candidate. McCain sways with the tides. Sometimes he pretends to be a Republican, sometimes a Demcrat and oh yeah, he's an Independent too. How easily you all are fooled….
L
A
U
R
A
it's LAURA…not LARA
Re: Republicans are so full of shit – Mccain is not my candidate…I'm voting for hillary.i think….altough McCain has the experience,he tends to shift with the tides….
It's LAURA, not LARA, you silly fruitcake.
Are you kidding? Oliver Stone will rip him a new one… Might be worst seeing Perezito!
who is lara? whats up with the peta girl with the udders?
Zach and Miri is a Kevin Smith film that just wrapped here in Pittsburgh, PA about two weeks ago. I will definetly be going to see that, not so much the W film. I could give a shit less about his alcoholic, coke head, priviliged upbringing.
it's LAURA not LARA you dumbfuck fat stupid retard
Re: Barry – really funny you used the word evolved
its Laura you idiot!
perez, i would have thought it was just a typo but you spelled the first lady's name wrong TWICE!!! it's laura and you're retarded.
Re: the immortal bathog – i agree jack NIKELSON
I am in zack and miri heheheh!!!
does barry still suck,, riddle me this bathog????
Yes I'm sure it will be very fair and accurate considering Oliver Stone is a drugged up liberal. The only movie Stone has ever done that was worth a shit was Platoon. Why doesn't he do a movie about Ted Kennedy killing a secretary in a car accident and getting away with it.
If the movie correctly portrays Dubya as the dumb-ass jerk that he really is, I will stand in line to see it. Shine a light on the truth of this ignorant, imbecile, nin-com-poop that we elected to our presidency.
It is amazing that a person can have a successful blog and not even have the intelligence to deserve it.
LAURA BUSH!
Duh! the first lady of the U.S. is LAURA, not LARA!
