We’d love you to stop by.  @Porthos too

As I said the last time, I waste enough time online as it is.   I have been able to resist both Twitter and Discord/Chat apps so far and I am to keep it that was as long as possible.  Thanks anyway. 👍

Fair enough the door is open

It also acts as a bit of an oasis when threads get bad.  

Wasn't that the whole point of the CC thread tho?

I got enough group chat apps on my phone as is. I don't need another one blasting my notifications. I'm gonna stick to here, and wait for the rest of y'all to wise up and remember your roots.

If you look at my account I’m still paying alimony

I am proud to say that I have dismissed Stone ever since JFK and haven't looked back. 👍

 

Also, his Wikipedia entry starting at this point... certainly is something.

Not for the craftsmanship of the film, I assure you.  Just that I take a dim view of the central thesis of the film.  To put it mildly.

Damn didn't realize The Door and JFK came out in the same year.

 

JFK Is hella homophobic, from what I understand.

[Porthos]

To put it a different way, I certainly don't/didn't question Stone's talent as a filmmaker.  But his worldview/opinions?  I can say with little hesitation that he has done very very little to convince me I erred in my judgement of him from around that time.

I would not imagine many use it right ? It does look like complete non-sense to make the best movies possibles.

Eh, not really the thread to get into it, but point taken.

 

My initial post was more an off the cuff/patting my own back in an a slightly obnoxious way to say: Not surprised by his comments.

interested in the timeline choices on his filmography from Any Given Sunday to World Trade Center to Savages to Snowden...

JFK is an incredible film. Certainly his best.
