I saw about 3 minutes of "Little Bush" the other day. Holy Christ, Comedy Central, wtf is wrong with you to spend money on the shit.

^^^ yeah. 8 years too late and not at all funny either

well if lateness was an issue "That's My Bush!" wouldn't have been horrible too

lil tony blair was actually hilarious

well if lateness was an issue "That's My Bush!" wouldn't have been horrible too

did that ever even air? I thought they ran into all kinds of problems... basic premise sounded pretty lame anyway, I never saw it. Am I misremembering that that was Stone and Parker's brainchild...? Those South Park guys are pretty hit-and-miss concept-wise.

this will be one of my favorite scenes:

pilot: "just take your damn physical, georgie. we need you! I need you"

W: "I made a deal with the devil Johnny, and I keep my deals"

pilot: "but you're a good pilot! a pillar of the air national guard!"

W: "pillar of the air national guard by day, coke bars at night"

pilot: "if you walk away from this, you walk away from a white-hot future!"

W: "i got a white-hot rock of columbian cocaine in my future, then maybe some black-hot oil. For once I'm
gonna be the decider in my life okay?"

pilot: "you're the boss, georgie. you're our leader."

W: "shoot Johnny, let's go grab a beer. The KING of beers."

It aired. Regretably for all concerned.

can't laugh or cry.

Tim Bottoms was a scary W lookalike tho

I've been talking about Kevin Tighe as McCain for years! Years, people!

He'll have to wait for McCain's presidency, if any movie theaters are still standing by 2013.

CALLED IT!

"Ellen Burstyn as George Herbert Walker Bush"

JUICE BY GEORGE!

I just wish it was a musical.

I can see OS sticking in a dance number similar to the end of the 2nd Jackass flick.

weird, why did I think Landau was dead? he would be great for Wolfie

omar, can you get to work on some of these?

i'll slip this under oliver's door

from Jeffrey Wells' Hollywood Elsewhere blog (someone emailed him a script):

I'll post a thought or two about Stanley Weiser's W, formerly known as Bush, on Monday. I couldn't get my hands on a recently revised draft, but if the film that Oliver Stone will begin shooting next month is at all similar to what's on the page, W won't be any kind of breathtaking, guns-blazing, political-zing movie. It's primarily a modest, brick-by-brick character study about who George W. Bush really is deep down.

that might actually be interesting if it were any good (ie if it agrees with me about who he really is).

lol at gr80

after reading robert draper's semi-authorized bio "dead certain," i've got to say that bush is kind of a fascinating, weird, complex character. i could see this movie being watchable, at least (it helps that the only stone film i even sort of like is nixon).

I almost bought that book today! how is it?

i enjoyed it a lot, partly because it's clearly not a hatchet job. draper is totally sympathetic to bush's motives, likes him as a person, never condescends to him -- which makes it all the more convincing when he explains why bush failed in such a huge way. draper's writing style is a bit new journalism-y (let's just say he uses a bit too many exclamation points) but i'd rate it above any other book on the guy i've read.

how did i miss this thread?

you had other priorities.

Soon after a disastrous news conference in April 2004, Bush retreats to the White House den to watch a Texas Rangers game in the final scene of the script.

Popping open a nonalcoholic beer, he lapses into his favorite dream: playing center field for the Rangers. Hearing the crack of the bat, he looks up for the ball but he can't find it in the sky.
ABC News

Years later, after Dubya drains a pint of Wild Turkey and runs over a pile of trash cans while driving home, his angry father tells him to call Alcoholics Anonymous, prompting Dubya to sarcastically deride his dad as "Mr. Perfect. Mr. War Hero. Mr F-- God Almighty."

i am first in line for this

this is gonna be like that made-for-tv movie where cybill shepherd plays martha stewart x10000000

Clearly that scene was written by someone that hates baseball.

"early screenplay," don't expect to see everything there... But we need an Ari Fleischer! Jeremy Piven or Jason Alexander?

In one scene, Bush practices his parachute landing in the White House pool but forgets to properly release the harness and sinks to the bottom. In another scene, Rumsfeld doodles a drawing of Condoleeza Rice standing on a piano with a globe spinning on her finger....

He interrupts a meeting with Prince Bandar, in which he informs the Saudi ambassador about plans to invade Iraq, so that he can catch the rest of the 2002 Miami Dolphins-Baltimore Ravens playoff game. Bush is later shown choking on a pretzel and passing out during the second quarter.

stoked

i am first in line for this

Piven's a good pick
