OOC: Talk about coincidental. I may have one that’s like “Vice” directed by Adam McKay. Instead of being about Dick Cheney, it’s about John McCain
Yeah. It was great. What did you think about that movie that just came out on Christmas about the McCain administration directed by Adam McKay. It’s called, “Maverick.” Martin Sheen was incredible as McCain, but I can’t help but notice the movie might have been just a little bit anti-Republican and anti-conservative. McKay makes it no secret he hated the Iraq War.
I think McKay did a good job of portraying McCain's war heroism and accomplishments as President, while also showing how the Iraq War killed McCain's presidency. It made me think: if not for the war, McCain would been re-elected and he would be remembered as one of the top 15 American Presidents. "Maverick" reminded me a lot of Oliver Stone's "Nixon" or John Schlesinger's "Path to War" starring Michael Gambon as LBJ. There's a lot of Oscar buzz around Sheen. What do you think is chances are of winning Best Actor?
OOC: Speaking of Martin Sheen, would "The West Wing" be as popular in this ATL?
