I've just bought the box set of every film he's directed from Salvador up to Any Given Sunday. Well almost every film, for some unknown reason Nixon isn't included. Great set though, not a bad film in there.

So when are we all getting our invites to come and view? I`ll bring the popcorn

Which one would you watch first?

I can't stand him. Supreme polemicist. Only decent film he's done IMO is Salvador. Platoon, Wall Street, JFK alll annoyed the shit out of me.

Wall Street
Platoon
Midnight Express

There are others that I like but that would do for starters

He didn`t direct Midnight Express I don` think

will change that for
Any Given Sunday

He's been shooting his mouth off again. About war movies this time:

I liked Platoon, Wall St, JFK and Salvador. Natural Born Criminals was rank.

Midnight Express was that english bloke who I get mixed up with Ridley Scott. Mett him once, but can't remember his name. Lord summit

Anyway, Stone has lost the plot - One word - Alexander.

I'm not going to start ranting about it, I promise, I've got things to do today, I can't afford to even start thinking about that movie and the way it made me feel.

Anyway, Putnam, David Putnam - he made Midnight Express.

Puttnam produced Midnight Express, but it was Alan Parker who directed.

/anorak off.

Stone: A few points of interest (he can write a good, thick-ear screenplay, such as Scarface, or Year of the Dragon), but usually far too bludgeoning in his politics.

I notice these comments of his are made just as his WTC film is about to be released. A complete washout, apparently.

ANy Given Sunday was a class film, haven't got an interest in American Football at all, but have gone and re-watched that film a number of times.

Rewatched JFK as well the other day, was better than i remember it, used to find Kevin Cosner really anoying, jsut lookign at him he always seems a little phony like he's only half hearted in the film.

Natural Born Killers is a great film. Proper satire. Though I did find myself wondering along with Robert Downey junior why "helicopters were not deployed".

I used to love JFK, untill I heard about the amount of "artistic liscence" Stone used. For example, the Kevin Bacon did not exist, it was a few different people mixed into one to add weight to his agenda.

Will we ever get the "correct" truth regarding that one?

If only that were true.

If only that were true.

Can you elaborate on that please?

Stone did write the screenplay for Midnight Express. Actually another one not in the box set is Talk Radio, which is a shame because it was very good.

In breaking news, I just got Alexander in Cash Convertors for £2.50. Is it really that bad?

Can you elaborate on that please?

Can't be sure but I bet it was "I wish Kevin Bacon" didn't exist, which in the main part - i'd agree with.

I must of been one of a few people who was bored by Any Given Sunday. The only good bits were the eyeball incident and the car cut up with a chainsaw. The rest just sent me to sleep.
