FIRST TRAILER FOR OLIVER STONE'S W

I was initially a little skeptical that Stone could come up with a movie about George Bush that might resonate in the dog days of his presidency, when pretty much everyone just wishes he would hurry up and get the hell out of here. But, I got a kick of this cheeky and ironic first trailer and am hoping that it's representative of the tone of the final movie.

Discussing the situation were Khadr's U.S. Navy JAG lawyer, Lieutenant Commander William Kuebler arguing for, naturally, the pro-Khadr side. And to argue the opposing viewpoint there was one Scott Newark.Here's how Craig Oliver...

Lily Allen smackdown

Buzz Patrol (Free subscription) | yesterday

And we thought Lily Allen is mellowing down..not from the look of last night’s evidence. To be fair, Lily was provoked into a fight..but she could’ve easily walked away from it… As she left Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club at 2am with TV presenter pal Miquita Oliver when a French girl provoked Lily by calling her a “f***ing [...]

Don’t screw with Lily Allen

The Blemish (Free subscription) | 08/19/2008

Lily Allen was leaving Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club with TV host Miquita Oliver, happily fisting the air when some girl started heckling her. Lily didn’t take too kindly to that and punched the girl three times before her friends forced her back to the car. The woman seemed amused which leads me to believe that ...

Lily Allen Delivers Street Justice on Video. Also: Swears a Lot.

Hecklerspray (Free subscription) | yesterday

Lily Allen - she’s that one who had pink hair, a godawful TV show and is generally a waste of space. Yeah, that sounds about right. Well now it would seem she’s got herself into MMA - that’s mixed martial arts - with some hardcore street fighting action. Well, hardcore may be a bit far, but [...]

LIBERTAS (Free subscription) | 07/01/2008

Boola boola. The publicity for Oliver Stone’s forthcoming film W just keeps coming. The LA Times is running this huge feature on the film. My favorite tidbit? The casting: Richard Dreyfuss as Cheney, Toby Jones as Karl Rove and Scott Glenn as Donald Rumsfeld. Yeah, this film will be fair! No doubt about [...]

Mets 7 Braves 3 The best plan when you don’t have a closer? Score enough runs that it doesn’t matter who pitches the ninth inning. After learning that Billy Wagner’s elbow was still swollen and would remain out of action indefinitely, the Mets took pressure off the bullpen in the late innings by exploding for five runs [...]
