Did anyone else find it incredibly difficult to not offer a running commentary while watching the movie W?

I totally believe in keeping my yapper shut in the movies out of courtesy. Oh hard hard it was not to verbalize my thoughts. There were some people behind me that did it for me and I didn’t even mind. It was hilarious. Every time I felt like saying OMFG, they would say it. I did a lot of head shaking and heavy sighing though. I don’t think there was a conservative to be found in the house. I can’t imagine they would have liked it, if there was. If you have been paying attention the last eight years, then I think you would find that the portrayal was right on.

@SoapChef, I totally agree. I was kind of surprised, though, with the sympathy getting part of the movie. W. isn’t smart enough to garner that kind of sympathy for the “difficult” choices he was “forced” to make and it drove me crazy! I know my blood pressure was way up and it was because NOBODY else laughed or sighed the way we did. I mean really, is there any bigger joke?

Heehee, I just noticed that I wrote “teeneager” instead of “teenager.” How true is that?

i would find it difficult to spend money to go and see it.

@deaddolly, I seriously could not resist. I mean Oliver Stone gave us Mickey and Mallory!

I know what you are saying, there was an empathetic bent in there somewhere. Stone still got the point across though, that “Geo” is practically an imbecile. It was extremely unflattering. I felt vindicated that there was a strong message regarding his “daddy complex”. I have always said that he had something to prove to his father and that he felt he had to finish what Bush Sr. started. I am curious, how did the “teeneager” react to it?
@dd How come?

Teeneager is riducously liberal and felt that the film was pretty biased (her word) to the left which she liked. She’s an incredible kid who breathes American history and she was disgusted. She was ready to go pretty early on just because she was grossed out by “poppy” and the fact that W. was all about himself.

i’m just sick of politics, I guess, gimmedat. I would never pay to see idiots when they’re on tv all the time. I’ll wait for it on tv.

@dd, I got you. I have to say I was hoping for more of a commentary. Stone did achieve making W look stupid, but I was surprised he didn’t go further. Worth watching, though, maybe a DVD choice where you can take a shot every time W. calls Sr. “poppy.” Oh wait, you’d die of alcohol poisoning.

@Gimmedat, we shouldn’t give Oliver Stone too much credit for making W look like an idiot, his subject made that pretty easy.

BTW, congratulations on the lurve over 1000, you’re catching up little sis.

I thought it was kinda crude. I’ve seen better from Oliver.
But I also felt a lot of despair.
I loved the casting, especially of Toby Jones as Rove. Ew. Jones is tiny and thin, but
managed to look both round and menacing.
The last scene was really tragic.
I’d absolutely recommend it but it’s not funny. I’m very curious to know what dyed-in-the-wool Bush advocates would see in it.
Got any here?
