VENICE (Reuters) - Top directors used the Venice Film Festival on Friday to excoriate the Bush administration, the war in Iraq and Hollywood itself, and presented three starkly different movies to express their views.

Oliver Stone, in the canal city for the European promotion of "World Trade Center", said he was worried about when, if ever, the "war on terror" would end.

"Many of us are concerned that it could get worse," he told reporters after a screening of his film, which has already been released in the United States.

"I think things have gotten very dark," he said. "The consequences of 9/11 are worse than the day itself.

I guess Olie is pissed that although well received (even by many Conservatives) his new movie isn't much of a financial success. He needs to lash out and blame someone.
Everyone knew he couldn't keep his commie mouth shut.

It's really quite simple. Spiderman can stop the war on terror.

I don't have to see Venice after all. Saves me a lot of money.

Oh, how unique and creative of them. Far-thinking! Original! DUH.

At least we know whose side they're on, now. (If there was any doubt)
