Will Kevin Costner Play Fitzgerald In GWB?........
I watched JFK again over the weekend and I really find Kevin Costner's performance of Garrison riveting. Do you think they'll do a movie GWB? I would love to see what Costner does with Fitzgerald.

Sorry I pay no attention to actors names.

I spent the entire 1980's not remembering who was pResident.

14. I thought there might be a bit of similar appearance.
I have no idea how tall either one is.

I remember both Robbin's and Sarandon's names from the protests.

Let's see will need a KKKarl.... A Judith Miller...... Scooter.....
Wilson..... Plame....... GWB could play himself because he'll be unemployed - maybe on a work release program.

21. Judith Miller could be played by .....
:freak: having a senior moment here...

The actress that played opposite Jack Nicholson in that movie where Nicholson started out dating this woman's daughter...

And...the same acress that played with Goldie Hawn & Bette Midler in the Ex-Wives Club....

and...she plays in everything! But...she also could pass for Judith Miller.

Ya know who I mean!!??? Help!! :cry:

13. You know what I found compelling about Kostner's performance in JFK?
Trying to guess which part of the South his accent would travel to next.

17. Thought that same thing while watching the same film
I'm sure there's more than a little JFK/RFK puffery going on for cinematic purposes, but at least the conversations seemed plausible.

Chimpy thinking more than one checker-move in advance? not plausible.

27. My b-day was last week -i made sure i got 13 days
and although I asked for JFK, i never got it. Maybe i'll just have to buy it myself. :sigh:

I think Costner does lawyers well, and he'd be great in playing Fitz. Let's see how things work out. Heh

28. Since you just watched JFK recently can you tell me something.
There is a line towards the end when Costner's character is talking about the nuclear crisis and he says something about only the goodwill of these two men stands between us and the devil. I can see the characters on the phone, the message being sent and all but I can't remember that line. Can you?

29. I imagine that the movie would just be called "W"
And Bush would be depicted as a hopelessly comic figure. Yet by the end it's clear his corruption underneath that comic smile.
