If I were an American neo-con, which I’m not, since a) I have a brain - b) I have a heart – c) I’ve got courage (plus I'm Canadian) I’d be pretty pissed off that Oliver Stone is making THE movie about 9/11. And of course it’s THE movie, after all, it is Oliver Stone. Love him or hate him, he carries weight. He’s definitely the man to cinematize the tragedy. I doubt he’ll turn it into liberal propaganda. Maybe he’s even gone all jingoistic and realpolitic in old age, who knows? Maybe Vietnamese scars do heal. I don’t know. But I know I’ll probably check it out.

i dunno, the last movie he did he tried to be as realistic about Alexandar the Great as he could with a special emphasis in his bisexuality (if that ain't liberal i don't know what is)...so I'm guessing he's going at it from all angles. I'll definately check it out.
You're a joy, netinous.
just think about how much money old stone will reap
it's all about the all might ee
dollah
who really gives a fuck about the truth
stone can make the truth what ever
he wants / & the general public
will soak it up as "god's truth"
i mean cause we all know / / it was the iraqis / i mean it was bin laden / i mean / it was the fucking arabs / uh / the american gov't? / it didn't really happen at all ? / uh / actually it was the canadians / yeah yeah / those fucking canucks man
they caused 9/11 / yeah yeah
that's the ticket

Well yes, the almighty dollar, of course. But Oliver Stone is rich, it's not like he needs a quick hack job to make ends meet. He's an artist. I think he wants to make a good movie. And I tend to like his movies (although not all of them). Don't know if 9/11 will be good or crap, and knowing Stone it'll probably only graze the truth, if that, but he is talented at finding the poetic truth in historical events.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONATHAN!!!!
