The Film: "W"! Why? And Why Now?

The trailer arrived in my inbox. 31 seconds of quick cuts about nothing. I have a few questions.

1. Why would Oliver Stone choose to make a film about this man now? Haven’t we had enough of him?
2. Why did the actors sign on to the project? Please don’t tell me they were hungry.
3. Why would anyone want to watch the train wreck we have had to live through for the past 8 years – and pay for the privilege?
4. Do you really believe that by paying for a ticket to the film we will learn more of ‘W’s inner workings?

Ollie, we’re not impressed with your source material. We know the family history.

We know his love of blowing things up. Why do we need to squirm through a fictional rendition of what we’ve already been subjected to for these very long years?

Sorry, but couldn’t you release this film say, 20 years from now, so that many of us having lived through his lies and fear-mongering might be dead?

OK, Ollie, if you want my money, this film had better be a toe-tapping musical, if not, fuggetaboutit.

And so it goes.
