[Cheney Killed Bambi]

The trailer for Oliver Stone's next feature film, "W.," hit the Internet today.

The controversial film is based on the life of President George W. Bush.

The cast includes Josh Brolin as Bush, Elizabeth Banks as his wife Laura, and Richard Dreyfuss as Vice President Dick Cheney.

In one moment in the trailer — after a lengthy montage of the younger Bush partying, drinking, smoking and gambling — James Cromwell, playing George H.W. Bush, asks Brolin's character, "Who do you think you are? A Kennedy?"

3. I am hearing from those "in the industry"

will be Stone's greatest work ever. Better than Platoon. Instant Oscar material.

2. "Nixon" was a soft-focus disaster. This looks even more obscurantist.

Has Stone been forced to do penance for "JFK", the last presidential portrait he directed that at least tried to capture the truth about how the Washington power game gets played?
