I don’t really get all that. I can imagine what it would be like to work for Sean Hannity. I don’t think he’s a cutting edge thinker, but he seems like a nice enough guy. What does that have to do with being a fascist? Is there some basic leftist code that I’m supposed to automatically understand at play here?

The blurb left out the part where Dick called Stone a fascist. I still don’t get the Hannity part???

Yes, there is.

And kudos to you for NOT understanding it.

Is there some basic leftist code that I’m supposed to automatically understand at play here?

I misplaced my Moonbat to English dictionary, but I think his statement translates to:

"Oliver Stone, despite being a leftist making a left-wing movie, was so overbearing and controlling, that the experience of working for him was extremely unpleasant. Despite my agreement with Stone's politics, the job was similar to what I imagine it must be like working for Sean Hannity, who is a fascist - as are all right-wingers. Nevertheless, it was a job. It paid well, and the movie is about 75% great."

Dreyfuss uses "six-eighths" because, as a liberal, he is used to looking at everything in terms of pie that is to be distributed according to the wishes of government. It is natural to cut a pie into eight pieces, and if we are to measure success in terms of pie, we would say that 6 of the pieces represent that portion of the pie which were successful. To say the film was "three fourths" successful would miss the greater point that dividing a pie into fourths would create pieces that are too large to distribute fairly.
