God, I hate agreeing with this guy (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/09/29/film.oliverstone.ap/index.html).
Stone rejected allegations that U.S. authorities may have known about the attacks in advance and said the real conspiracy came after.
"I think that conspiracy-mongering on 9/11 is a waste of time."

It feels strange to agree with the guy who reanimated the JFK conspiracy. I don't think anyone in Hollyweird likes a conspiracy better than Oliver Stone. In fact, I'll bet most of the CTers were dreaming about who was going to play them when Stone made the 9/11 conspiracy movie.
The disappointment must be palpable over at LC.

Stone is obviously a disinfo agent. World Trade Center was a Neo Con piece of propaganda to stir up support for our hunt for oil in an otherwise peaceful part of the world. If you pay close attention, you notice he slipped up and admitted that a new-cabal exists!
"The far greater conspiracy occurred after 9/11 when basically a neo-cabal inside our government hijacked policy and went to war.
We have you now traitor Stone! We know the truth about your cabal! Shame on you sir!

Oh dear! The man has gone completely ga-ga!! Not a conspiracy?! Stone is chopping his own legs off with this logic.
He will change his mind soon enough when he get a profitable script about 9/11 on his hands... :rolleyes:

Its amazing. He bashes Bush for everything but the actual 9/11 attacks, and they call him a traitor. As if he had anything actually nice to say about the administration.

I see you rpoint.. I just wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.. I don't want to rule out the hope of seeing him come out with a great movie abou tthis that we all can cheer to and look at our wives and say "See, I WASN'T nuts."
These guys have wives? I thought they all lived in their mother's basements.

It is a testament to how farfetched the 9/11 truth conspiracy crap is, that Oli Stone thinks its shaite.

I'm not sure which is more disturbing... The fact these guys have the means to procreate, or the fact that they seem to be under the impression that if a movie's made about it, it must be real.
I wonder how many of them put their E.T. doll in their bike basket and rode off a cliff thinking they'd fly.
Obviously not enough of them did....

Wait, you mean JFK didn't prove someone was on the grassy knoll? He said "back and to the right" like 10 or 20 times!

Just out of interest as anybody seen WTC?
It opens in the UK this week, is it worth seeing or waiting for the DVD?

I saw WTC a couple of weeks ago in London and Oliver Stone and Will Jimeno did a Q&A afterwards. I thought the movie was OK, but Will Jimeno was very inspirational.
Thank goodness nobody asked Oliver Stone about any of the CTs surrounding the WTC - I suspect the audience was too sensible to have even registered their existence, for the most part.
However, he was asked about the tight focus of the movie and he said that there was obviously a much wider story to be told, and he would like to do so one day. But it would take many years to be able to look back and see the whole thing. None of which I could disagree with, really.
Only then he said a funny thing. He said that it had taken 20 years to figure out what had happened with JFK, and tons of research had been done, not by government bodies, but by individuals. As best I can remember, his exact words were:
"It took years and years to gather all this research together, and by the time I made the movie I had tons and tons of information about the assassination, much of it accurate."
At which point I burst out laughing, only to discover I was the only one doing so.

You gotta love the loosers.... Evidence that their windmill tilting is beginning to take it's toll on them? He's already hoping for validation from a party (well, other than the Iranian government, I guess) that someone's ever heard of! Things must be getting lonely out there on that creaking limb......

I just notice that Oliver Stone and Sharon Stone have the same last name.. Whoa.
I see you rpoint.. I just wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.. I don't want to rule out the hope of seeing him come out with a great movie abou tthis that we all can cheer to and look at our wives and say "See, I WASN'T nuts".. Although he would have probably waited 30 years to do it anyway...

I remember someone linking to a post on LC a while back, before WTC came out, that proposed a CT about Stone making a deal with the government to avoid charges after he was caught with drugs or something like that. And that was why he made a conspiracy-free 9/11 movie.
Don't think it lasted too long, though.
(Seems like there are more people that are supposedly part of the conspiracy than those who aren't.)
