A full length trailer for Oliver Stone’s highly anticipated presidential biopic W. came out last week, and though I was already excited about this dynastic political acid trip of a movie, I can now officially say that I’m in it for more than just the novelty. This thing looks balls out crazy, and though the trailer is littered with SNL-esque snorts and one-liners, it also gives the impression of showcasing Stone’s refined skill for combining satire with subtext.

But I’m not gonna lie, the novelty’s still there. Josh Brolin’s transformation from dark-horse heartthrob to silver-spoon chomping idiot boy-prince is still something to boggle at, especially considering that Brolin’s last turn in No Country for Old Men seemed just as out of left field. Come to think of it, all of Brolin’s major appearances seem to come out of nowhere. Every single time he seems to pop up with a totally different kind of project, sporting a totally new brand of smoldering hotness, and making people go “Hey…isn’t that James Brolin’s kid?” as though he’d disappeared since Goonies.

So here’s a little cheat sheet to take you through all the major hotness incarnations that Brolin has visited over the years. And yes, that includes W. His chameleon like transformation into the 43rd president may be impressive and, indeed this picture does capture Dubya’s weird turtley quality, but there are distinct moments in that trailer when even with his white hair and terrified expression, the camera can’t help grabbing onto old JB’s rugged, chiseled features in a way that makes Bush seem kind of…well, hot. To understand the bemusing effect that this juxtaposition will surely have on your brain, just look back to that Screaming George picture at the top of the page.
