Oliver Stone to make movie about 9/11.

[Jade Fox]

This is from James Wolcott's blog. Right-wingers are freaking about Stone
doing a film about 9/11. No doubt they will have to go into overdrive
denying whatever truths make it into Stone's film, and they are not looking
forward to that.

From Wolcott:

But of course the steam release over Stone's tackling 9/11 isn't about visual
talent, storytelling ability, crosscutting, or any aesthetic considerations, it's
about his lefty politics, conspiracy theorizing, friendship with Fidel Castro, all
that. Letting him do a major motion picture about 9/11 profanes the memory
of those who died there and licenses him to convert the consecrated ruins
at Ground Zero into an open-air cathedral to preach a pothead gospel of
paranoia and anti-Americanism. How dare Hollywood once again betray
everything Michael Medved holds dear!

Whenever a non-controversy galvanizes the bleary eyeballs of America's
sentinels of freedom at their computer screens, depend upon Glenn Reynolds
and Mickey Kaus to clarify the vital issues involved into clear mud.

"Keep Oliver Stone Away from 9/11! Is Oliver Stone really the person to
direct a big-budget film about the rescue of Officers McLoughlin and Jimeno
from the rubble of the World Trade Center? Stone has shown he has trouble
leaving history alone (most famously in JFK); he'll probably have some
wacky, conspiratorial left-wing theory to add into the script. ... The
McLoughlin rescue is a surprising, moving, and patriotic story if you just tell
it as it happened. Do you trust Stone to do that? I don't. ... Is Hollywood so
out of touch it thinks Stone's version of 9/11 is what America is clamoring
for? After Alexander, at that? ... Stone should be free to say what he
wants. But it might be useful for Paramount's Brad Grey to hear that many
Americans--including, say, a mob of salivating bloggers--are not eager to
provide Stone with a paying audience. ..."

Well, it's so nice and generous of Mickey to say that Stone "should be free
to say what he wants." Though "should" sounds a little conditional, a permit
that could be revoked. (Why not simply "Stone is free to say what he
wants"?)

1. Awwww-

2. Born on the 4th of July -

10. Just tie that image somehow

into Bush cutting block grants for first responders after 9/11

3. Excellent!

I loved JFK. I always thought the same forces that drove the JFK assasination were in full force during the 9/11 thing. Now for Stone to make a similiar film about 9/11 is awesome.

THUMBS UP! :headbang:

4. I'll take Michael Moore over Oliver Stone any day

At least Moore does his homework.

5. Yeah but

JFK was pretty darn historically accurate, no?

[illflem]

7. No

Stone has said repeatedly that JFK was not a documentary, but a drama

[Klimmer]

8. Everyone here should watch JFK again as well as JFK2 . . .

and you will see that Stone did a very accurate job in telling the story in his drama-documentary. What he didn't get is how the assassination is directly tied to the Bush Crime Family/BFEE. I have JFK2 on DVD and it is mind blowing what is now known. I thought it was done very well. At the end is a short documentary/trailer for Dave vonKleist's "9-11: In Plane Site" . . .

I hope Stone does a powerful human story, as well as bringing out as many visual proofs, eyewitness accounts, and evidence to implicate our government/BCF and how they are lying about 9-11, using all the original footage that is available to draw from to tell this story. It is time for everyone to wake-up and smell the MIHOP.

History will prove Oliver Stone was right about JFK. People still need to wake-up on that. Watch JFK2, it doesn't disappoint, you will wake-up.

More power to him in telling the truth on 9-11. The sooner the better. Our world is "going to hell in a hand basket," (whatever that cliche means).

6. whatever

Nobody owns 9-11, but it still feels a little soon to me.

The Spike Lee film, the 25th Hour, was spooky enough, and it really treated 9-11 very quietly anad respectfully.

9. Well, considering how lousy and stupid 'JFK' was...

I suspect this one will be conspiracy ridden piece of crap too, only this time around he'll be insulting the deaths of 3000 people not just one :mad: :puke:

Amazing how people think "well, I saw the movie, it MUST be true"! *baahhhhh* :eyes: :nopity:
