I saw "W" last night. Hollywood took a bold step in making this historical piece while still in the midst of history, but boy did they do it well. There was nothing offensive about this movie. They didn't overstep their bounds in making Bush seem like a black-hearted jerkwad who is heartlessly waging war on unsuspecting oil rich countries. He's not a bad guy. He's just a dumb-dumb head who is easily led by members of his party.
More importantly.... Josh Brolin? I think he's the only person alive who can convince me that I'd consider boning a president. Hot.
They did an amazing job creating this story and not missing a beat on references. If anything, it gave me an insight to decisions made during a time when I was personally choosing to tune out reality. Fact: They were wrong. Their speculations weren't precise, they were made by gut feelings. But in terms of what George W. actually contributed? He's really just the face.
There are so many things we can say. There are so many speculations we can all make. In the end, this war sucks and it was the wrong choice to go over there. We all knew this and it's time to end it. We do not have a perfect system. And it gave me all the more reason to believe that Obama is the next thing that our country needs. Please, for the love of God, make your vote on Novemeber 4th count.
And lastly...Josh Brolin needs to get ugly.
