Oliver Stone to Release "W" in late October

In a subtle effort to enlighten us all, and with no thought of influencing the national election two weeks later, Lionsgate Studios and Oliver Stone will release what sounds like a downright mean-spirited biopic on George W. Bush on October 17th, 2008. As Mark Hemingway pointed out, this will be the third election in a row that a highly charged political film was released right before the nation heads to the polls. No worries: it will flop and/or fizzle, as all of them have.
