W

As Sid says, the trailer for W is ace even if the movie itself doesn’t apparently quite live up to it.

Boy, are we going to bore our grandchildren with tales about that jackass.

    “Boy, are we going to bore our grandchildren with tales about that jackass.”

    The black core of my soul predicts that they’ll be too busy living under President Palin to care.

      Jesus, that’s bleak.

      You should write horror movies, this comment is simply terrifying. I’d actually prefer Bush back than her in charge.

    I hope the actor who plays Tony “Yo” Blair is up to the job. No portrait of Dubya would be complete without the sight of Tony doing his influencing thing, his impetuosity-restrainment thing, the tongues-optional prayer-meetings in the Oval Office, and the just generally specialling the hell out of that relationship.

    Come on, who plays him? Andy Serkis or Keanu Reeves?

      The actor who plays Blair in W is Ioan Gruffudd who, by pleasurable coincidence, plays the impossibly flexible Mr Fantastic in The Fantastic Four movies.

        I see he’s also appeared in 102 Dalmations, which might have been good practice had he not been restricted to playing a human being.

        Did Harriet Harman play the Invisible Woman?

      I wonder if Stone has included the moment when Tony Blair woke up to discover that he had the letter ‘W’ magically imprinted on his foredhead?
