I quite like Olive Stone, despite his slightly paranoid-conspiracy-theory stuff, so I'll probably go and see this film when it comes out.
What amused me though, was his comments on Palin boycotting the movie:
"I don't think Sarah would understand the picture. It has a lot of complicated dialogue. George Bush is an intellectual compared to her."
Ouch.
On the bright side, I suppose it explains why Varrus loves her so much. Great minds and all that...
