Oliver Stone Goes South of the Border @ GritTV

So what's Oliver Stone up to these days? Usually he makes thought provoking, and sometimes half baked, films. Occasionally he gets a political bee up his bonnet too. This time it's Hugo Chavez. Now Stone hasn't gone off on Chavez in some rabid, froth at the mouth Bill O Reilly FOXNews way. I think that everyone knows Stone a bit better than that. Stone has taken Hugo Chavez's part. He seems to think that the United States of America - the land that allowed him to become the filthy rich super director he is - is global threat #1! He's afraid that Uncle Sam is bullying Chavez a bit too. That's provoked his delicate sense of fair play.

So he's prepared to bring all the weight that being a Hollywood director can bear on HC's behalf, too. For instance he's got some kind of flick planned on Chavez. It seems to be the kind that more people will talk about than will actually see. he's also giving interviews to alternative media, namely some of the more upscale bloggers. Not Wondertrash - no one who's anyone is gonna talk to wondertrash unless they do it through their lawyers. Oliver Stone, along with Tariq Ali, has given an extensive interview to Laura Flanders over @ GRITTV. Here's the video on that right here now!



Ollie is pretty sensitive over his work, so if you want to give him a hard time about it I hear that he hangs out over @ the RottenTomatoes.com board under about 6 different alias. You'll be able to tell which one he is right away 'cause he's the pompous one. He also likes to give Bruce Willis' aliases a hard time. You can tell which ones are Bruce cause they always extravagantly praise anything Bruce Willis is in!
