Courtesy of CNN and their shitty embed code, here’s a new clip from W, Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic which no one will see. In it, a youngish Dubya (Josh Brolin) meets sexy chimney Laura Welch (Elizabeth Banks) at a Texas barbecue. He asks her what she does and she classily replies “I smoke”. Which gives Dubya an opening to say, “Must be cuz ur so hot!” and sock her in the shoulder, but he of course misses it. What a crappy president.

Today Empire Magazine has a new picture of Josh Brolin and Elizabeth Banks as George W. and Elizabeth Banks in Oliver Stone’s W. It shows George W. Bush as an attractive cowboy, because everyone knows our weaselly, prep-school-attending, Yale-cheerleader president is an attractive cowboy. Stone tells Empire:

“Obviously, in making the film, we discovered dimensions of humanity, and that was important,” says Stone of Dubya. “There was empathy, like Nixon. But, unlike Nixon [a previous subject of an Oliver Stone biopic], he’s more of a circular character; even now he harkens back to who he was in 2000. His speeches are the same. There doesn’t seem to be a growth. There’s a fundamental inability in the man, a King Lear kind of hubris, where he can’t admit to any fault, whereas Nixon seems to have been genuinely haunted by doubt and uncertainty.

“As a result, this is a very different type of movie. While Nixon was a very rich meal, this is more of a soufflé. And with a soufflé, you never quite know until it bakes.”

I thought I had a King Lear hubris once. I tried to squeeze it out but I ended up crapping myself. Anyway, I think what Sir Douchebag is trying to say here is that if you see this, you should get really baked first.

IGN recently discovered this new billboard for W, Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic.   As you can see, the caption is "Anyone can grow up to be president."   Considering the anyone in question is the son of a former president, one has to assume the tagline is meant to be ironic, or tongue-in-cheek, or head-up-ass.  This is kind of like a poster of Princess Diana’s son saying "Anyone can grow up to be Prince of Wales", isn’t it?  I’m still the Prince of Whales though.  Just ask your sister.

FimSchoolRejects recently found this new poster for W, Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic.  It’s obviously employing the speak no evil, put your feet up, speak no evil motif.  

George sent over the above picture, which was taken in downtown Denver. It is a brand new set of posters found outside of a construction site for the upcoming Oliver Stone pic W. At his desk sits Josh Brolin as George W. Bush, with the title of the film and the simple subtitle “A Life Misunderestimated” above him.

Of course, it seems almost too obvious to point out that Denver will play host to the Democratic National Convention on August 25-28. Coincidence? That’s up to you to decide.

Yes… Almost too obvious…  <British accent> What’s your game, Stone! </accent>  Somehow he’s going to sabotage this election using a biopic of a politician who isn’t running in it, by advertising near a convention for the opposition party.  Cunning like a fox, this one.

W, Oliver Stone’s George W. Bush biopic opens in October, and just released this new teaser poster.  As you can see, it features some chick with three arms doing W’s hair and makeup, though I wonder if she knows her comb is backwards.  And then he’s gonna grab the mike and be all, "Let’s get ready to rummm-blllllle…"  Man, politics looks fun.
