Slog - Comments on Acclaimed Director of The Hand Ready to Take on Dubya http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/01/acclaimed_director_of_the_hand_ready_to Oliver Stone has announced his next project: Bush. And no, I'm not kidding. Oliver Stone has set his sights on his next directing project, "Bush," a film focusing on the life and presidency of George W. Bush, and attached Josh Brolin to play the title role. I'm already looking forward to skipping this movie....

Don't do it, dude! (plus, he's too young and attractive)

Hate GWB. (obviously)

Also hate Oliver Stone, the biggest hack of all time and living proof that winning the Oscar is meaningless, (also see our current version of Oliver Stone, albeit a nicer, more pleasant one, Paul Haggis)

That is the only way I could ever have respect for him. If that happened. Mmmhmm!

Oliver Stone has THREE Oscars...two for directing and one for "writing"

'nuf said.
