Oliver Stone Has a Hissy Fit
The recent ABC special, "Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?", has made Oliver Stone go over the bend.

Bottom line, Oliver Stone is a "film maker". He's not a JFK Assassination expert by any measure. He's also 79 yrs old. I bring this up as "temperament" is also now being thrown into the Oliver Stone pot. As to Stone needing a "sidekick", people of Stone's age have an issue with staying "on track". Their maintaining a steady train of thought for more than 1 minute is often an issue. You throw in the brickbats hurled at Stone during a JFK Assassination "discussion", and this only complicates Stone's age/temperament issues. Hence his needing a sidekick. I watched JFK Assassination Expert Josiah Thompson do an interview on NewsNation about a year ago. Prior to that I watched his Sixth Floor Museum presentation concerning his 2nd Book. Thompson will turn 91 in January. Thompson needs a sidekick too.

Oliver Stone's role is to merely keep everyone going in circles.

I don't agree with Stone's childish take on Howard Brennan, but it's clear that Brennan was just looking for a free DC vacation for him and his wife. Testifying was secondary.

Your description of Oliver Stone would also fit Director Alfred Hitchcock.

Stanley Kubrick comes to mind...

To me, "A Clockwork Orange" is just plain weird. I gotta draw a line there.

I am uncomfortable with the relationship between Oliver Stone and Vladimir Putin.
Stone's personality is what it is, and let's face it, the CT and LN communities draw in some characters.

Oliver Stone is a money-grubbing Vietnam War-traumatized Far-Left propagandist.

Oliver "Far-Left" Stone? Your political compass is outta wack.

Comrade Storing,
Of course, you (like your buddy, Vladimir Putin) are to the right of Attila the Hun, but where do you think Ollie falls on the political spectrum?

Are you not concerned that Oliver Stone is something of a Putin stooge?

Stone makes very good movies. He also has a very good eye. He exposed the phony POTUS/Kevin Kline on "Dave" and got derided for it at the time. You guys need to cut him some slack.

So did Leni Riefenstahl, Comrade Storing.
