Remember when that movie about 9/11 came out staring Nicholas Cage and every one said, "What? this is way to soon." Well if you don't remember, 9/11 happened in 2001 and this movie, the one entitled World Trade Center, was released in 2006. That is five years after the incident. Jump to present, where good old George W is still in office, yeah he is on his way out, but he really doesn't leave till January. The poor guy is not even out of the White House and a movie is released that passes judgement on him and his two terms spent as president. Oliver Stone, who incidentally directed World Trade Center, is also the director of W. Now, it should be said that I have not yet seen the film, but COME ON! does it not seem ridiculous that this film is out already? I am aware that the man was no Abraham Lincoln, but I think that it is safe to say that the proverbial dust that he has created, be it positive or negative, has not even begun to settle. How his time spent in office will effect the future of the U.S. has yet to be determined, as we must live it first before a final judgment can be passed. To soon, to soon

All the entertainment shows have been interviewing the main actor and it is so annoying. Way too soon!
Perhaps the absurdity of releasing a movie about a president who is still in office is the first of a comentary on the absurdity of the man himself. We are all going to be sick of hearing about bush in four months (if we aren't sick of it already). He's just jumping on the gravy train before it runs out of juice.
i've got to agree with you. i'm no fan of bush, mind you, but this is just a cheap shot. it's not even objective.
also, i think the term "too soon" is hilarious.
