A life misunderestimated.

    This will be interesting to watch, since it is about a sitting US President. But, I still think Stone lacks the oomph necessary to tackle his real challenge, his Master of Puppets character, J. Edgar Hoover. All of his films portray this vast conspiracy leading back to the cross-dressing spy-master – yet, Stone has yet to make “Hoover”. Anway, Stone is one of those directors that auteur theory worshipers put on a pedestal, so until I see this film, I won’t prejudge, lest I offend their delicate senses.
