Oliver Stone hits the leftist trifecta, defends Ahmadinejad, Stalin and Hitler

Not content with being known as a Hollywood eccentric, director Oliver Stone has given up all pretense of normality and moved directly into lunatic territory.

Not content with being known as a Hollywood eccentric, director Oliver Stone has given up all pretense of normality and moved directly into lunatic territory.

NewsMax has the dictatorial details:

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America’s focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the “Jewish domination of the media.”

The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the “powerful lobby” of Jews in America.

Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series for “Secret History of America,” seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin “in context.”

Yes, of course, Hitler was merely misunderstood. And in Stone’s mind, it’s always Springtime for Hitler.

Stone’s movie about Hugo Chavez sinks like a rock

Oliver Stone’s movie “South of the Border,” an impassioned defense of the Hugo Chavez, has bombed at the box office at both Venezuela and the U.S..

A couple weeks ago we did a story about Venezuelan filmgoers complete rejection of Oliver Stone’s movie “South of the Border,” an impassioned defense of the South American country’s dictator. The total box office take during the movie’s first eleven days was a meager, but amusing $18,601.

Sure, you say, but that was in Venezuela where the Bolivar or Doubloon or whatever monetary unit they use is worth about 3¢. Just wait ‘til it gets to the United States. It’ll surely be box office gold here.

Wrong.

WWTD has the background on this muy grande box office bomb:

“South of the Border’s” $111,000-plus haul over three weeks of release seems beneath a director of Stone’s reputation.

The film can only be seen in seven theaters at the moment, and that’s despite heavy media play for the once great director. Perhaps theater owners know audiences will have little appetite for the film, which even liberal minded movie critics have labeled second-rate propaganda

$111,000 won’t pay for the cost of cocaine and champagne at the premiere party.

Consider it another sign that (a) Americans are rejecting leftist philosophy and (b) Oliver Stone is a moron.

Hugo Chavez and Oliver Stone: A Hollywood love story

Just when you thought Hugo Chavez had driven the people of Venezuela and the United States apart forever, something happens to bring them back together. In this case, it’s the two people’s intense dislike of Oliver Stone movies.

Variety reports the sad news of Stone’s biggest bomb ever:

Despite a PR and marketing blitz that had Oliver Stone on a whirlwind tour of Latin America, his latest documentary “South of the Border” has sunk like a rock at the Venezuelan box office.

Local observers in Venezuela have reported empty cinemas, indicating a stunning indifference to Stone’s pic, a documentary about South American leaders that devotes a hefty amount of screen time to the country’s President Hugo Chavez. In the 12 days after its June 4 debut, it grossed only $18,601 on 20 screens, according to Global Rentrak. Showings on mobile screens in rural areas (where Chavez has more popular support) have attracted crowds, but these screenings are free.

$18,601? That won’t even cover the corpulent Stone’s room service bill at the Caracas Hilton.

Drug-addled Courtney Love makes goo-goo eyes at power-addled Hugo Chavez

Love may be grand, but washed-up, drugged-up rocker Courtney Love is so far from grand that she can’t even see it off in the distance.

Strangers in the night, exchanging glances, wondering in the night, what were the chances
Strangers in the night, exchanging glances, wondering in the night, what were the chances

Love may be grand, but washed-up, drugged-up rocker Courtney Love is so far from grand that she can’t even see it off in the distance.

Here’s how the New York Daily News reports this bizarre story:

Courtney Love is still floating on the charm offensive that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez launched at Wednesday’s screening of Oliver Stone’s new documentary, “South of the Border.” The singer, who came dressed to thrill in a short zipper-front skirt, says she noticed the twice-divorced Chavez checking her out during a Q&A afterward.

“It was the third wink that sold me,” Mrs. Kurt Cobain told us. “He’s a sexy dawg. He invited me to visit his country and I’d like to go. I’ll rock Caracas!”

You may scoff, but we think his odd-couple coupling could work out. Seriously. Courtney and Hugo have so much in common. For example:

Hollywood doesn’t like Nixon, America doesn’t like Nixon movies.

nixon_oliver_stoneIn 1995, Oliver Stone made the movie “Nixon.” It bombed, bringing in under $14,000,000. In 2008, Ron Howard added another name, made a new movie called “Frost/Nixon.” It also bombed, bringing in just under $15,000,000.

Apparently, Hollywood has decided to bring America another Nixon movie every 13 years. Whether we want them or not.

Critics say “Frost/Nixon” is filled with lies, distortions, exaggerations and what are euphemistically called “dramatizations.” For more information read the excellent Lies, Damn Lies and Dramatizations: ‘Frost/Nixon’ at BigHollywood.com.

“But the film’s about Nixon,” say Hollywood insiders, “so it’s ok if we say the most vile things we can think of. And since this is Hollywood, that can be pretty darn vile.”

We say save your money for the anticipated 2021 release of the blockbuster “Frost/Nixon/Hitler,” which according to our calculations should bring in $16,000,000.
