In reply to the discussion: What's the first thing that comes to mind [View all]Archae
(47,245 posts)20. I simply have no respect whatsoever for Oliver Stone, or what he "creates."
Likewise DW Griffith.
Griffith was a genius, in the silent film era.
But his biggest film was "Birth Of A Nation," a racist retelling of Recontruction.
I enjoyed a lot of movies Clint Eastwood was in, but his asinine stunt with that chair (that was supposed to represent Obama,) and his recent films, including "Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Richard Jewell" show just what a piece of shit he really is.
Also, there's the actor Jeffrey Jones.
He was great in the movies "Beetlejuice" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."
But he wrecked his reputation completely by traveling to Asia to set up sex with children.

Yes, it certainly sounds almost like, maybe a square dance caller, doesn't it?
