what does your thread title have to do with the article?

― cutty (mcutt), Saturday, 9 July 2005 17:21 (twenty years ago)

fuck an oliver stone

the movie will probably be filled with gay cuban mafiosi

cutty OTM, what in that article says anything about the movie being a bush apology?

will we get to see gilded shots of american flags, like in a Michael Bay flick?

plus, as we all know, there's no filmmaker more pro-authoritarian like Oliver Stone.

...Nixon (1995)
Natural Born Killers (1994)
Heaven & Earth (1993)
JFK (1991)
The Doors (1991)
Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
Talk Radio (1988)
Wall Street (1987)
Platoon...

I would consider myself a Shrubya critic, and my heart does nothing but go out to subjects like this.

What, if you make a drama about September 11, you're automatically a toady for the president?

there's no filmmaker more pro-authoritarian like Oliver Stone.

what about his docu fawning over fidel castro?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Saturday, 9 July 2005 17:46 (twenty years ago)

stone looks alarmingly like saddam hussein in that doc

I think it was sarcastic, as in "JFK just made more people believe the Warren Commission and Nixon was so conspiratorial everyone felt bad for Tricky Dick"

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Saturday, 9 July 2005 17:53 (twenty years ago)

yes that was my point, although i probably jumped the gun coz there's no indication as yet that he will bring his impeccable political acumen to the fold

Oliver Stoner = Scientologist. Who cares what he does or thinks?

― Andy Rooney, Saturday, 9 July 2005 18:19 (twenty years ago)

hes not a scientologist!

― latebloomer: the Clonus Horror (latebloomer), Saturday, 9 July 2005 18:33 (twenty years ago)

though he dabbled early in his career IIRC.

― latebloomer: the Clonus Horror (latebloomer), Saturday, 9 July 2005 18:34 (twenty years ago)

IIRC? What the fuck is IIRC?

Once a Scientologist, always a Scientologist.

― Andy Rooney, Saturday, 9 July 2005 18:37 (twenty years ago)

Is this a DUI thing, because now Stone understands?

― Garibaldianne (Garibaldianne), Saturday, 9 July 2005 18:39 (twenty years ago)

x-post

IIRC=If i remember correctly, IIRC.

― latebloomer: the Clonus Horror (latebloomer), Saturday, 9 July 2005 18:40 (twenty years ago)

IIRC = if I recall correctly

I don't give a galloping goddamn if Stone is a scientologist or bush apologist or castro fawner or what. He makes shit movies. Last time I went to one was "U-Turn" because I didn't know it was him. Last time I make that mistake, too.

before this thread dies: my point was 'with friends like Oliver Stone who needs enemies'

― fcuss3n, Saturday, 9 July 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

What, no Michael Bay-directed action movie? With Ben Affleck as the yuppie businessman whose whole world is changed when he's caught in the tower with his girlfriend and a Westernized Muslim man who saves them all in the end?

― Cunga (Cunga), Saturday, 9 July 2005 19:11 (twenty years ago)

oliver stone will bring more "relevance" to it though

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Saturday, 9 July 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

I still don't get why anyone gives a damn when a celebrity is a Scientologist. I don't avoid movies because they were directed by Episcopalians, why would I do that with Scientologists?

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Saturday, 9 July 2005 21:22 (twenty years ago)

yeah i don't like whit stillman either
