W. Gets Misunderestimated With New Posters in Denver

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on August 14, 2008

Today continues to be our day for reader emails, as the continue to stream in. And while many of them are related to the release of Tropic Thunder, we did get a sweet little scoop from George in Denver, Colorado on another movie that seems to be drawing some attention.

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.

What do you think of the new posters for Oliver Stone’s W.?

They're being far too kind in the posters. I expect this film to be huge overseas, and to be derided as hate speech by the minority political party here in the United States.

After the trailer, I don't care in the slightest how the posters look, I'm going to see this film opening day no matter what. They look decent, I like that they're staying neutral, it'll keep from offending anyone and maintain the highest possible amount of interest.

I don't think Republicans would deride it as "hate speech". That particular attack on freedom of speech is a uniquely Democratic one. What I do imagine Repubs doing is misinterpreting the movie as a pro-GOP film, like they did with Jurassic Park 3.

You really believe Oliver Stone is going to give a true factual account of the Bush Presidency?? Then I suppose you also believe that Platoon was factual and not a mess of a picture with historical inaccuracies abounding.

I won't give Oliver Stone a penny of my money, he rates up there with Michael Moore.

Please, conservatives will simply ignore this movie. It's only liberals who love to through around the term "hate speech. " I predict it will be a loser as even liberals will find it boring.

It's clear the movie is just more of the same Leftwing propaganda we've all come to expect and love from liberal Hollywood. Though I doubt there's a single Republican who's ever used (or will ever use) the term "hate speech." It's not part of our vocabulary, unless we're using it to mock and ridicule Leftists who cry 'hate speech' to shut down people they disagree with.

You ask "No hate speech allowed." Can you tell me just what is hate speech? I don't want to use no "hate speech." so if you could give me a list of words please.
As far as the movie, it will be as good as any other Oliver Stone's movies and no, I will not waste my money seeing it but neither will many other people. When was the last time Oliver Stone made money on a movie?
It will win a lot of awards though.

Will this movie turn out to be a legitimate tongue-in-cheek look at Dubbya's presidency, or will it be Stone's platform to belittle and make fun of the government? Does anyone else secretly think this is a comedy? From the pictures we have seen of Brolin as Dubbya, it gives off an almost comical tone to his whole portrayal.

Thoughts?
