I don't give a shit about his mental problems or lack thereof. He's an asshole who should not get paid.

You are of course correct. Sadly I think Charlie Sheen's character Bud was so bland, next to Michael Douglas's gleeful embrace of sybaritic excess that many an ethically challenged individual saw it as a how-to manual.You can't really control what someone chooses to take away from your message.

Oliver Stone is just being cautious, He is not one to make wild unsubstainiated claims about people.

I happened upon this before reading anything about it, and it's the kind of thing that leaves you speechless. Oliver Stone looks like the cross between a version of James Franco's character from 'The Interview' (except he never figured out the dictator he was interviewing was actually a bad person) and your grandpa who has been in assisted living for the past 5 years and doesn't follow the news, but still has opinions.

That is to single out the inmates who are deserving of special attention.

Traci Lords starred in both kinds of cinema. She was underage while making films, unfortunately.

_Scarface_ was all right, but of course he only wrote the script.

What was all that bobbing and weaving at the table? Was Stone threatened with an off-camera cobra in a basket, and told that hypnotizing it with his gyrations would be the only way to keep it from biting him in the face?

I wonder, exactly, would constitute "evidence" for these disingenuous whores. Scahill has become an embarrassment. Greenwald has been a joke for awhile now.

Putin is just one volcano lair short of becoming a Bond villain.

Vlad is not a nice man. He is an autocrat with the power to have anyone in his country and some people outside his country killed or imprisoned with no trial and no defense. And there is a lot of evidence that he has done both. Oliver Stone is a jackass of a film maker who will do anything for a little publicity.
