I'd say a "Drink every time Dubya drinks or eats" would be a good rule.

I think that he needs to take a break from politics. (He's not the only one.)

funny review, g. saved me from using up one of my rare jaunts to the moviehouse. tho to be honest, the movie looked like crap in the trailers.

I was reading DF's comment, and I was like, yeah, it's a shame cause I like Oliver Stone movies as well. But then i started to think about it and I was like, what was the last good oliver stone movie? I checked out IMDB and I was surprised at how paltry his output has been recently. The last thing of his I liked was Natural Born Killers, but I admit I never saw World Trade Center and Nixon, which I think got decent reviews.

May have to reconsider my longheld favorable opinion of Mr. Stone.

Thanks, Genghis. What with

Thanks, Genghis. What with scoping out the Guggenheim, that's the second bullet you've taken for us.

This is not a good movie to watch in any context, except perhaps as a sleep aid. If you must watch it, heavy drinking will probably help. For that reason, I recommend Power Hour.

If you just want cheap gags used to ridicule a President you hate and you've had enough coffee to stay awake for two-and-a-half hours of it, see W.

So would this be a good movie to watch on DVD with a bunch of rowdy fellow Bush-haters? And, if so, is there a particular drinking game you'd recommend?

Yeah.. yeah. I saw this on

Yeah.. yeah. I saw this on opening night. I really wanted to like it, but it sucked. Brolin did as much as I think he could with what was there, but ultimately it just failed. I'm not surprised that you fell asleep. I've rarely seen films as plodding. Seriously, I've seen Friday the 13th sequels that had more regard for story structure. I say that as a fan of Oliver Stone's work. I was pondering writing a review of it myself, but you've handled that task deftly.
