1. Dick Cheney will trip you out |
|
Josh does a one-sided version of the Chimp in Chief Oliver is at 60%. Worth the time.

2. I saw it, but don't remember much of it. It wasn't bad. |
|
I do remember wondering why Laura was such an enabler. Rick Perry has been compared to the Josh Brolin portrayal of bush. Could be worth watching just to see for yourself.

4. It was much better than I expected |
|
Most of the supporting actors were very good, and it wasn't quite as one-sided as I expected.

6. I thought it was quite good. |
|
Richard Dreyfuss' Cheney was amazing. In retrospect I think Stone might have been right on about Bush - he's a pathetic, entitled dry drunk with Daddy issues who wanted to own a baseball team but got kicked upstairs by people who knew they could manipulate him. And Cheney is just pure evil.

7. Very sympathetic treatment. I enjoyed it, although I saw a lot of one-liners coming. |
|
I thought he gave a pretty even handed portrayal of the man. The last two words on screen (a giant "THE END") seem to be the only editorializing.

8. It was about as realistic of a portrayal as you can get. |

Although I do think Josh Brolin is a talented actor.

10. Brolin was hysterical in that role, especially the eating part |
|
I didn't think I'd like it, but I did--a lot.
