I wonder if Oliver Stone lives in a homeless shelter?

No, he does not.

Why?

Because Liberalism is a mental illness.

Ollie Stone is way too cool for capitalism. However, he will accept your money if you want to watch his movies.

They hate capitalism so much that every Monday morning, the industry reports how much money films made over the week end.

And this film made peanuts over the many week ends it has been playing. Boo hoo. Poor Oliver Stone

I think it should be a law that any film producer/director needs to put some of their own personal money into a project. That would prevent the making of dreck like this film.

Wouldn’t be much call for Hollywood without it.

Wall Street financiers built Hollywood. Nearly the entire American motion picture industry appears to be little more than leftist garbage.

If Hollywood didn’t have 8 decades of backproduct to keep their books solvant, they would go bankrupt when they choose to support pro-Communist thugs like Mr. Stone.

Copyright law meant a limited time of exclusive ownership before the works become public domain. 80 years does not meet that test.

Big Media owns our legislature.

Not one to stick up for Hollywood but she knows the score; capitalizing on those jealous of the rich and successful rakes in the bucks.
