Looks almost too good for a film on a no good hack like bush... Saw the full trailer in the theater the other day before Tropic Thunder and it was very well received by the audience. More for its artistic appeal than the obvious embarrassment laughter that comes over you while watching that petterass make a fool of himself and our country in front of the entire world. Here's hoping to a great film and solid turnout to boot.

Holy cow ... while he only partially resembles our fearless emperor, his vocal inflections are absolute perfection. AMAZING.

He's even practicing the Bush mannerisms while taking direction from Stone, and he's got it down pat. That third take was great, with the "um" and snicker. Now all you need is Stone's trademark variable speed negative shots of clouds mixed with black & white film loops to give it an outerworldly feeling. I really hope that more history gets into the script somehow, though, as I keep getting the nagging feeling that this will only be a shell of what Nixon was.

Ray: I'm wondering if the fact that he doesn't look exactly like Dubya is part of the point of the film.

At first, I thought that the green screen reveal was part of the film, a reference to how carefully controlled his public appearances have been. That would seem very Stone-ish, to suddenly have the background drop out.
And does Toby Jones look evil, or what?
Capote, Lazar, Rove...how many more diminutive, funny looking real-life figures can he play? If I were him, I'd secure the rights to Mickey Rooney's life story.

Damn right SPOOKY how much he sounds like the chimp in chief. I wasn't totally sold on Brolin until now. Stone nailed it again.
Still, Brolin should have lost some weight. He looks too masculine to be portraying the incredible, incompetent, shrinking she-man Dubya.
