Stone Escapes America for France

Director Oliver Stone is so distraught over the criticism targeted at his last two big screen projects, he's preparing to flee America for France. The JFK movie-maker sparked controversy by meeting Cuban dictator Fidel Castro for his 2003 documentary Comandante - forcing TV network HBO to axe it from their schedule. Stone's recent historical epic, Alexander, was also subjected to scathing reviews in the US for portraying Macedonian warrior Alexander The Great as a bisexual. And Stone can't understand why years of hard work have failed to produce a positive reaction, so is desperate to seek comfort in his mother's homeland, to escape the bad vibes that are crippling his confidence in America. He says, "Since the Castro movie I did, things have been tough. Everyone was against it. Then I put my heart into Alexander, which wasn't appreciated either. The right thing is for me to stay out of America for a while. I'm planning to spend a lot more time in France."

Wha, freaking whaaaaaa.  You make crap, expect to get booed.  Good riddance.  You have sucked bellybutton since Platoon.

He and Mikey Moore should get married and live in splendor in the South of France.

Rumor is that it is the same man that OJ is still looking for, for killing his wife.

I seriously hope that you people still don't consider Lee Harvey Oswald as the person who shot JFK...

I can't hold back the tears that Stone is leaving.....

(Oh......, and yes Lee Harvey Oswald did shoot JFK.  Then he left the Texas School book depository and later killed Officer Tibits (may he RIP).  Was arrested by the Dallas Police and later shot by Jack Rubby.   If you want to prove he was part of a conspiracy....., fine....., prove it.   But never, never say he wasn't the primary 'shooter'..)

U Turn was far better.  The only movie of his that I have liked since Platoon.  But to each his own.

Poor Oliver.  It must have been a terrible burden for him to have to live among so many illiterate peons.

He should get out of Hollywood more often.

Mon Dia Blo, why are you so happy that the man who made Platoon has to go into exile?
Because he "portrayed" Alexander of Macedon as a bisexual? It would be a much greater news if OS "portrayed" him as being straight.
What is wrong about interviewing Fidel?
There are probably hunreds and hundreds of film directors in the USA who will never make the movie of Platoon calibre. I am not happy that they are staying here. :(
