I used to respect Mr. Stone ...

Rating: 1/10 (27 November 2004)

I find it impossible to believe that anyone who is posting "rave" reviews of this film is on the level (most likely some Warner Bros PR folks desperately trying to spin this $200 MM flop).
Alas, the opening numbers speak for themselves. Mr. Stone has been reported as saying that European audiences might "appreciate" the film more than American's (http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=125543744&p=yz554445x-)
On the aforementioned, I have two points - First, the film is being roundly rejected not because Americans are "homophobic" but because Mr. Stone has lost his directing and writing abilities (hopefully they will return). I fully expect European audiences to know a bad film when they see it, as we do - So "Cowboy-up" Mr. Stone and admit you just made a plain stinker ... Secondly, keep displaying your Anti-American bias with your Hollywood pals Mr. Stone, and we won't have a Democratic President again for a generation ...
