So Oliver Stone has geared up for his new picture: a warts and all exploration of current President George W. Bush. But will Stone’s politics get in the way of a historically accurate portrayal? The controversial filmmaker sat down with Cracked.com to plead his case:

Either or, it does not matter to me.

Rachel Ray the robot?

I will not be going to Gladstones’s Fire Island extravaganza, y’all have fun. I will be shacking up with Rachel Ray instead.

Wow, Gladstone, you go to Fire Island too? I usually stay at the Brimstone Plaza Hotel, myself.

Oh, don’t tease me, glendoor! He sounds so HOTT.

I think lasers “likes” you Gladstone.
April 5th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Damn lasers. Last time you called me that (radiohead vid) you still said my video was good. No dice this time?
Gee, I hope that doesn’t mean you’re not coming to my party at fire island?
April 5th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Gladstone you’re a goddamn faggot, when are the fat cats over at cracked going to fire your fat ass already?
April 4th, 2008 at 1:31 am
Naw, but they can bite the shit out of you.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Aw, that is downright misleading, gladstone. Dogs can’t say no!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:29 pm
How about Swaim trying to rape a dog?
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 pm
Damn it we don’t want to see home movie of Gladstone humping a sheep.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Thanks.

Great timing, by the way, on the reveal of the gap teeth. I laugh every time.

Excellent video. And what video cannot be made better with Kids in the Hall? Or Hitler screwing a donkey, for that matter?
On an extremely tangential note, I knew a guy once who thought that “the Magic Spit” episode of Seinfield was based on that Nicolas Cage movie about a conspiracy rather than JFK.

I like Nixon mostly for Anthony Hopkins performance. I feel that he was, and partly with Stones direction, was able to give a since of what a tragic and complicated figure Nixon was and not just the butt of jokes for the last thirty years.
Favorite Richard Nixon quote of all time ” Even paranoids have enemies”

I liked Stone’s TV miniseries Wild Palms.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:05 am
Platoon’s a fine film, but it would be nice to make movie about something as complex as Vietnam without having a good soldier and an evil soldier. And then have the evil soldier kill the good one while the good one dies in a Jesus Christ pose.
I have to disagree on Nixon too old friend. Even if it were the greatest movie of all time I’d still hate it merely for the scene where he suggests bombing Cambodia –while he’s eating a really rare steak– and he looks down and WHAT’S THIS? Nixon has blood on his hands!!!!! I think that’s the worst symbolism in movie history.
I like Conan. I also kind of like Born on the Fourth of July.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 am
I’m amazed not I amazed.
Goddamn, would it kill you people to put an edit function in the comment section and yeah I could proof read my work more carefully but, shit, I had peons to do that for me for the last five years and I’m not changing now.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:04 am
Three of my, well four, favorite movies are Oliver Stone movies, Platoon, JFK and Nixon.
The fourth he just co wrote, Conan the Barbarian.
Great interview by the way. I amazed at the resemblance between Amy Winehouse and Oliver Stone, though.

Yeah, that’s probably what his movie’s gonna be like. If you put this on DU or the Daily Kos, they probably wouldn’t believe it’s a satire.
Incidentally, Peter Parker and J. J. J. of the first Spider-man movie could set you straight on whether this film will be slanderous:
PP: But this is slander!
JJJ: It is NOT! I resent that! [Lowers voice.] Slander is spoken. In print, it’s libel.
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Aw shucks, I like you too squaresquare.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Wow, interesting ~~~~~~~~~
I read about bestiality on tallmingle.com
Actually, that’s not entirely true. I’m three inches under their required height, so I have to read tallmingle.com articles from over the incredibly high shoulders of its tall audience.
April 2nd, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I like Bruce!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Ahh, those steaming jungles, good times man. Good times.
Watch out for those deadly jungle midges though, they’ll suck the blood right out your eyeballs.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Any bets on how long it will take cora to get in here and somehow relate bestiality to tallmingle.com?
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
MacCharlie!
Hey DOB! if you can find me non-KITH footage of Hitler screwing a donkey, please provide and I’ll used that instead. It’s not as easy to find bestiality on youtube as you think.
At least it’s not for me.
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
WOW, Kids in the Hall!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:18 pm
Man, Angel Dust is an awesome album.
Mr. Stone, who I have no reason to believe was portrayed by anyone else in this video, is exactly the right man to make a movie about George W. Bush. Who else has the guts to go against the system to portray GWB as the zoophile that we all, deep down, assume he must be? No on, that’s who. Say what you want about Stone’s politics, but Bestiality has no place in the upper levels of politics.
Who’s to say that GWB won’t go to war with New Zealand, or Scotland, over their vast fields of sheep? Nobody wants another Viet Nam, especially one involving the steaming jungles of Scotland, where MacCharlie has intricate networks of tunnels they’ll use to ambush American troops and grind the war’s pace down to a psychologically damaging standstill. And for what? So one president who wants more sheep? I don’t think so.
