Ollie Stone is getting creepier
Newsbusters‘ Alana Goodman writes that 6th rate producer, Oliver Stone has finally slipped his gears. After his failed attempts at lionizing Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez among countless others, he’s decided that there must be some redemptive qualities to be found in Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin, two of the three or four most prolific mass murderers of the 20th Century.
Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America’s focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the “Jewish domination of the media.”
The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the “powerful lobby” of Jews in America.
Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series for “Secret History of America,” seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin “in context.”
Of course, it’s always the Jews. See, if the Jews hadn’t hitched their little red wagon to the American promise of freedom security and liberty, they’d be able to get the support of folks like Oliver Stone. I’ve seen the ovens and gas chambers of the Nazi regime. I’ve looked over the walls and barriers of Eastern Europe. I don’t need a knucklehead with a tiny dick to tell me how I should think about these things. I wonder why Stone has been relegated to the unseen corners of cable TV. I’m pretty sure I’ve never sat through an entire Stone movie.

This is an old story. Oliver Stone is no longer the current fad. He’s missing the spotlight, so he’s heading out into the territory of all has-beens: “strange” and “outrageous.”
It’s real simple: he’s needing his fix.
I used to like the movies The Doors and Natural Born Killers but haven’t seen too many others besides Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July (once). Honestly, the latter was seen so long ago I hardly remember it. Growing up I liked Platoon but my perspective changed tremendously as a teenager when I read a down-to-earth review by a Vietnam vet; now it is just another inaccurate movie with an extremely negative portrayal of Soldiers in it.
Now, I don’t watch any of his movies, though the tempation to see The Doors again pops up every now and then.
Stone is just confirming his irrelevance. Been there, seen the ovens and all, and the successor to the Nazis, the Communists, Russian and East German, and their border.
I’ve never sat through a Stone movie, matter of fact, I’ve never sat through the beginning of a Stone movie. And I’ve not read or heard anything yet that would cause a change of that.
Guess Stone is now officially a “denier”?
What is it with all these Hollywood liberals? Up is down, right is wrong, the USSR was good and we are bad…
No wonder I don’t go to movies anymore
This is what happens when someone becomes so out of touch and self absorbed… They begin to actually think that their influence is unteneble. Imagine how self absorbed this guy is in thinking his golden words will set the record straight that Hitler was right all along and it was the Jews who were the problem and Hitler was just doing the right thing… Pathetic.
SHAME ON YOU!!!You guys are being harsh to a poor victim who has a baked brain:
baltimoresun.com — “I like ayahuasca,” a hallucinogenic tea, said Stone, who’s also spoken of his love of pot. “And I liked LSD, and I liked peyote.” The director of Platoon and JFK thinks tripping is so beneficial that he once spiked his father’s wine with acid.”
Hey, PintoNag, you’re right… if it worked for Mel Gibson, it’ll work for Oliver Stone!
Unfortunately, I think your comparison is correct. While I never liked Oliver Stone, I used to like Mel Gibson (Braveheart was GREAT); a couple of his most recent movies caused me to shy away from him, however.
