I WONDER IF HE'LL TRY TO SHOEHORN ARLEN SPECTER INTO THIS ONE, TOO: My feelings for the current President aside, both the trailer and the posters for Oliver Stone's W. have me convinced that this is just going to be a sledgehammer of a mess, an entire film pitched at the level of subtlety of Rodney Dangerfield's role in Natural Born Killers. Tell me if there's a reason to be optimistic that this will be an insightful film.
(Say what you will about his JFK or Nixon as truthtelling, but at least both work as mature, complex filmmaking. W seems like a Farrelly Brothers production.)
