The 80’s were the worst decade in American history. It brought us Reaganomics, 80’s action stars, and Oliver Stone. All three of which are apparently crazy.
Oliver Stone, whilst promoting a movie he’s made about Hugo Chavez being the patron saint of Venezuela, has managed to make comments disparaging Jewish people. Not just Jewish people, but the Jewish lobby. For being powerful and in control of America’s media. Here’s a hint – you work in showbiz. If the Jewish lobby is as powerful as you claim in print – you probably shouldn’t mention it. They’ll hunt you down in the night, smother you with yarmulkes, and put glasses of manischewitz over your dead eyes.
Stone is on record saying that Hitler isn’t a bad as people make him out to be, and he did more damage to the Russians than the Jews – and that the Jewish lobby in America has been making a mess of foreign policy for decades. While I agree that our policy towards Israel needs to be more forward-thinking for Mid-East relations, inferring that there’s a giant Jewish conspiracy is the quickest way to get people to ignore your constructive world advice. And I don’t even know how constructive that would be.
Especially when you directed a movie about 9/11, and George W. Bush. You can’t even be forward-thinking in cinema, much less ancient, trod-over stereotypes.
I kinda want to party with Oliver Stone and Mel Gibson, just to see what insane things they’d say whilst intoxicated.

Oliver Stone? NBC employee Tim Kring was asked by the media: "How did you get the TV show "Heroes" on the air at NBC? Tim Kring answered: " In Hollywood they say if HITLER wrote a great screenplay they'd send a limo to the airport to pick him up... Great creativity comes from everywhere, I was flubbed(before) and I didn't just want a show on the air, I wanted something big, bold and I wanted to prove them wrong. Only problem was I didn't have an idea, so I was just left angry and worried about it... I lied and cheated and schemed and manipulated all the way through the idiocy that is the notes process when you do this, was able to push the production through relatively unscathed and in the form that it would work in... That's how Heroes got on the air... It's not the most original idea in the world, you build and borrow. Just put these pieces together in the right way, at the right time, and on the right network."
