Coming soon: W.!

I had two Indies--Ballast and L'Aimee--on my list for yesterday, which I put off until today so I could get my work done. So I was INCREDIBLY chagrined to discover, today, that both movies had moved on. And because they are Indies, they're not showing elsewhere. Damn! So it looks like today's fare will be W. To be truthful, I'm not burning to see it. But I'm curious. There's the sibling loss theme--Bush lost an older sister--that has always interested me. And there's a father-son theme I've wondered about--isn't it telling that Bush Sr. has been so notably silent on his son's presidency? I guess it's appropriate, but you have to wonder if it also suggests disapproval. From what I hear, this movie delves into how much W.'s relationship with his father influenced his presidency. Funny that it came out so close to the election, when people could probably care less. I'll have to look up how it's done at the box office. Meanwhile, I'm off to buy a HUGE diet coke and check this film out. More later!
