...but I won't be lining up for your new film. While I have appreciated some of your films in the past, Mr. Stone, I must tell you that every time I see a poster for World Trade Center I become nauseous. No offense.

And, from an AP article on today's code-red terrorism alert brouhaha regarding banning liquids and such:
"...An exception was made for baby formula, even though in powdered form it could easily disguise explosives."
So now we're just GIVING them ideas? Is that really advisable? Behold this witty bit of dialogue I've crafted to illustrate my point:
Terrorist #1: Hey, Ahmed, did you know we could easily disguise explosives in powdered baby formula?
Terrorist #2: No way, Mohammad! Where'd you hear that, dude?
Terrorist #1: It says so right here, in today's New York Times.
Terrorist #2: Excellent, bro!
Me: Oy.

I do sympathize with all those people traveling today and in the coming weeks (including myself--internationally, no less). I suppose we're all learning every day just how the world is changing. We learn and we adapt. And we stop carrying little bottles of tequila in our carry-on luggage.
Right on. Oliver Stone is as subtle as a Mack truck driving through a brick wall. So, my dreams of bringing a liquid fog machine to Europe for a rave are no longer viable? That sucks. The world is changing so fast I feel like I can hardly keep up.
Posted by: Aaron at August 13, 2006 09:04 AMI have never really liked Oliver Stone movies. I guess I would feel more convincing about never seeing this movie on the principle of the inappropriate subject matter if I had respect for anything else he had really done. Has he really gone so far in his quest to beat his "message" over the head with a bomb-covered, mechanical battering ram set to anihilate that he has to exploit the largest national tragedy while people are still in mourning?
