Liveblogging Watching W.

200903302258.jpg

It's been a long time since a good old fashioned HAB4U LIVEBLOGGING. So here goes:

No smokes, no sheets. The thick humidity of fail beaded upon my evening. My only solace: A torrented copy of an Oliver Stone biopic, which no one seemed to rate too highly, but which is finally about someone I can remember.

10:59: Fuck this thing is two and some more hours long.

11:02: I bet the baseball field thing is a METAPHOR. Also there's no fucking way that's how Frum busted out 'axis of evil'. That's the last time I'll make a real point.

11:08: I bet the homoerotic hazing scene is meant to bookend with the muslimerotic torturing in the WARS. Or maybe it's just about Yale people being losers. He just said he DOESN'T WANT TO DO POLITICS. BUT HE DOES IN THE END!

11:17: They're country western dancing on a bar Coyote Ugly styles. Oliver Stone is a hell of a director.

11:24: Hazing-torture link completed. Cheney-Bush relationship a hilarious caricature. Also Powell sounds fresh, like someone doing a bad old-black-guy impression of some sort. This whole thing is weak as fuck.

11:37: Romance. Laura is a filthy filthy slut. She takes her top off at 48:20. Then Bush becomes religious because he looks at some trees and sunshine. Oh. Actually he's having a heart attack? No it's god. And his new religious friend is like A NEW DAD.

11:58: Is that weird grasshopper person meant to be my buddy Rove? Yeah I guess he kind of looks like a weird grasshopper actually. The Willie Horton thing. Wow. This is just a series of references to shit.

12:22: Actually him running for Texas is pretty sweet. There's even a "learning how to talk to the press from Rove, under a tree" montage... like in Rocky. Oh. That bit is over instantly.

They should have called this movie Things Things Things that Happened But Not Like That Obviously, Because Nothing Has EVER Happened Like That.

Liveblog over. It gets 3/5 bones for trying. But not very hard.
