Stone will depict Rove and W as gay lovers.

Just like no minority can be a racist, no gay can be portrayed as the personification of evil.

Director Oliver Stone arrested

Faces DUI, drug charges



LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone was released from jail Saturday after his arrest on alcohol and drug charges the night before in Beverly Hills, police said.

Police at a checkpoint, set up for the Memorial Day weekend, pulled over Stone when he showed signs of intoxication, said Beverly Hills Police Sgt. John Edmundson.

When police searched Stone's Mercedes, they said they found an illegal drug.

They declined to identify it.

Stone, 58, was arrested about 11:45 p.m. Friday on a misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated and on a drug possession charge, Edmundson said.

The director posted a $15,000 bond and was released around 6:30 a.m. Saturday.

Stone said nothing to reporters who were waiting outside the police department.

In 1999 the filmmaker was arrested on alcohol and drug charges and, as part of a plea bargain, agreed to enter a rehabilitation program.

A Vietnam veteran, Stone received Best Directing Oscars for "Platoon" (1986), which also won an Oscar for Best Picture, and for "Born on the Fourth of July" (1989), according to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Web site.

He also won an Academy Award for his screenplay adaptation of "Midnight Express" (1978).

Big is one of my favorite movies. And that was a very funny scene.

Oliver Stoned does it again! Naturally the plot will have the terrorists working for the CIA and the armed forces.

BTW, Oliver Stone's former company commander in Vietnam said in an interview that Stone got everything wrong in "Platoon." I know for a fact that some of my post-Vietnam era platoon sergeants had been in country, serving in combat arms. They were, on the whole, very well-balanced individuals, not at all like the psycho portrayed by Tom Berenger.

I imagine it could be a Superman-ish kind of sci-fi with The Evil Karl Rove as a Lex-Luthor type.

Nah, your missing the point. It will be the Moussad in combination with W, Rummy, and...drum roll please...the Masons.

I wonder if there will be a queer angle like Alexander.

Sure, they could have the hijackers anally pounding one another the night before in their hotel room, that would work.

At least JFK was entertaining. Alexander was completely un-watchable.

I wonder who Stone will get to play Karl Rove in the scene where he uses a Nintendo control pad to fly the airliners...

Richard Dryfuss?

At long last we will get the connection between Vietnam and 9/11.

Stone will blame Prez Bush for 911. Typical H'weirdo. Will Clintoon get the blame? Of course not!
