Oliver Stone poll

I liked W. but Stone's career deterioration has been p sad

his untold history series was actually p good, for the most part

Snowden had it's moments, the final confrontation in his mind with the big floating head of his father figure was pretty well done.

that's a fascinating interview, despite the interview trying to make it all about Trump. im looking forward to that documentary.

mzs is on my FB feed, he's certainly into russiarussiarussia

My god, this piece of shit:

(the only movie of his I find watchable is his filmed version of Eric Bogosian's play, anyway)

Born on the Fourth of July is big and clunky, so I was surprised to still like it 30 years later. I'll try to read Kael (pan) and Kauffmann (praise) again. Too much speechifying, of course--but I find it more bearable here than coming from Costner in JFK. There are parts I find moving, especially when Cruise visits the two parents in Georgia. I don't know if the music here ever gets mentioned, but Stone uses pop really well: "Soldier Boy" early on, "Moon River" at the prom (great), the 5th Dimension at a parade (perfect), and he even gets a convincing cover of "Born on the Bayou" from a fictional bar band.

New documentary out next month:
