The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. -H.L. Mencken
I hope Oliver Stone was high as a kite when he made this movie, just like he was when he did Natural Born Killers (and like ‘W’ was for most of his youth). That’s when he’s at his best.
Neat! I love stuff like this, no matter how wrong. I think it’s the success or failure of the actors’ impersonations that makes it interesting. I’ll wait til it comes on TV though. I don’t go to movies.

Mark,
The movie will be a bomb. Only the extreme nutjobs will pay to see it.

Scott Glenn as Rummy is an inspired bit of casting.

Liked the LBJ movie that Randy Quaid did too.
