DC 9/11: Time of Crisis

Post by Bob McDob »

Has anyone seen this movie? As I understand, it's a TV movie released last year about George W. Bush and September 11th. However, the thing that caught my eye was that it stars Timothy Bottoms in the title roll, reprising his role from "That's My Bush".

Guess someone was impressed by his portrayal of "Georgie".

In related news, I utterly suck at making thread titles.

Should have done '"That's my Bush": 9/11 style"

I haven't seen any such film, but I hear an anti-Bush film is, or has been made by Rupert Murdochs group, could this be the same film?

Doubt it - reviews place it rather firmly in the pro-Bush camp (rather ironic, all things considered).

Apparently Bottoms also played Bush in a Crocodile Hunter movie. Seems that'll be the defining role of his career.

I have. It's not Anti Bush at all. It even includes a scene where Bush puts his foot down when Cheney makes the suggestion he should be head of the emergency committee or whatever they were planning. He said something along the lines of "I'm the President/Commander-in-Chief." or whatever.

Was for sure pro-Bush. If it was at all anti-Bush then I must not've been paying any attention.

And, IIRC, I don't think it showed any scenes from 9/11. The closest they got was Rumsfeld in his office feeling the impact.
