Is Stone trying to make the case for the National Mental Health testing?

Sorry JL, Stone is much too far gone, there is no hope of him ever regaining sanity again.

Although, a tough case like Stone's could keep NMH testing busy for quite a while.

Here's an idea. We'll get our minions in the republican congress to pass a bill so that NHM tests all America hating pacifists, actors who think they're smarter than their audiences, bad movie makers (Spike Lee and Michael Moore, not mention Stone), hip-hop artists turned political, singers a with mission and rich-do-nothing glamor girls/boys, religious intolerants, and those with über arrogance first. That should keep them busy leaving the rest of us to lead normal, happy lives for many, many years.

Well, a girl can dream can't she?

Here's a review of his latest film:

Oliver Stone, absent from theaters for five years (his last theatrical release, Any Given Sunday , found him uninspired and weary), returns with what is not only his lousiest movie, but an immediate contender for the year's absolute worst. Alexander , Stone's three-hour biopic of Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell beneath a dyed mop) is bloated, disjointed, unintentionally funny, bloody -- and bloody awful. Immediate example: couldn't anyone persuade Angelina Jolie, as Alexander's spooky mum, to abandon an accent which sounds exactly like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle ? No one here gets out alive: Jared Leto, Anthony Hopkins, Rosario Dawson and Val Kilmer (star of Stone's The Doors , where he was terrific) all work well below their expected levels. The script, by Stone and two lesser lights, is a bungle. Every sentence is an exclamation! No one talks like a real human being! Ever!

Sounds as though he should have gone directly to the video stores with this puppy.

Any bets on whether or not our friend from Iowa took her digital camera to DC?

(I'm betting the under.)
