"Daddy issues" do not exist. It's a silly Freudian idea that somehow still has currency in America. People who are said to have "daddy issues" simply have a certain set of (mostly innate) personality characteristics. It has nothing to do with their relationship to their fathers.

Steve, Oliver Stone is about one SD less interesting than Woody Allen whose last existing aficionados hang out at HuffPost or the DailyKos. Let's move on.

Steve, do you get to see movies early in one of those small private screening rooms for the press?

I know they exist because many years ago I won a radio contest for two tickets to Pavarotti's new movie Yes, Giorgio. I went to a nondescript office building in the San Francisco financial district. I entered the normal lobby and went through an unmarked door. It was like something out of a spy flic.

Inside there was a small movie theater - maybe twenty seats. I recognized a couple local TV personalities. The rest were probably newspaper critics (or maybe other contest winners).

I had read movie reviews for years and had always thought that the reviewers just sneaked into the back of regular theaters. Not so. They went to their secret theater.

So do you rate entrance privileges to the exclusive screens of the media pundits?

I didnt see JFK til way way after it came out. It was a darn good movie! I wish I had been paying more attention to all the hubbub over the project! It may be B.S. but it was surely a good film! Kevin Costner was great. It seems like he couldve been a bigger star than he turned out to be. He is one of those stars that appeals to both sexes,IMHO. Isnt Stone half-a Jew,half-a Whitey? Halfies are a strange lot. look at that vicious little punk Bill Maher! I'd love to stopm him into the ground;but he'd prob enjoy it!

I disagree. Fathers are influential - to a degree. When they go missing their influence is noticeable. Last I checked, such analysis doesn't have to be Freudian.

"I can't recall Stone ever creating an interesting female character."

You gotta be kidding me!!

The heartbreaking HEAVEN AND EARTH?
The mother in BORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY.
Pat Nixon in NIXON?
Cameron Diaz in ANY GIVEN SUNDAY?
And the women were more interesting in WTC than the men who were stuck in the ground(like pregnant women). It was kinda like a role reversal.
And Angelina Jolie and a wild Afghan woman character stole the show in ALEXANDER.

Great post, Steve.

Oliver Stone does a great job putting a stick in the eye of the conventional wisdom, whether it is the conventional wisdom about world war two or other historical events.


Stones's mother Jacqueline's family followed a pretty common path, with the higher IQ women choosing to marry Jewish and the lower IQ women choosing to marry non Jews.

Indeed, half jews like Stone seem to live notably more interesting lives than full Jews. For example, how many full Jews would have volunteered to serve in combat in Vietnam? There is something special that comes from the mixture of Ashkenazi traits with white non Jewish traits.

Of course the main reason that H-Y-P accept so many ashkenazi is because, even adjusting for IQ and other measurable traits, ashkenazi wind up with much greater professional success than white non jews and ashkenazi alumni of H-Y-P wind up donating much more money to their schools than their non jewish classmates.

But you can't discount the fact that many of the non Jewish trustees of H-Y-P like the idea of their sons and daughters and nieces and nephews who attend H-Y-P interacting with ashkenazi, networking with them, and even picking up ashkenazi values.

Given that Chavez is personally responsible for the migration of probably 10's if not hundreds of thousands of Hispanics from his country to the US, I'm a little amazed at the (relative) soft spot you seem to have for him.

Mellowing?

Did you notice the news bomb:

Finnish tabloid has a big headline: White man wins 100m European Championship.

Who would have thought. Fastest man in Europe. White? Unheard of.

Evo Morales says that genetically modified chicken is responsible for baldness & homosexuality in the first world.

Steve has been open about his sympathy for the Latin American left. He thinks they are correct on the "black legend" about those awful imperialist Spaniards, and also thinks that they were cheated out of the Mexican presidential election before last. I don't think it extends to Castro & communism, but basic lefty populism against the latifundia is fine by him.

Anony-mouse, paleos have a natural soft spot for anti-American leftist despots, who tend to preach autarky and pal around with Israel's enemies.

Oliver Stone, like Norman Mailer and Paul Newman, belongs to club of TOUGH JEWS. They wanna find the harmony of the pen(or camera) with the sword, fist, stick, or gun.

Holy fuck!

Reddit (generally pro-Jewish, anti-Zionist, left-of-center) seems pissed with the Oliver Stone controversy!

The most up-voted comments would at any other time be considered antisemitic, but well, not now.

Sweet! The Israel-firsters are finally being exposed for what they really are.

""How many pairs of shoes do you own?" She immediately recognizes this reference to Imelda Marcos and chews an abashed Stone out for several minutes for his sexist impertinence."

Funny stuff. In Salvador he had a female reporter ask about womens rights in some scene where it was obviously preposterous. The man has an old school way with the ladies, something he probably likes about South/Central America. (Note the stache too. He probably thinks it makes him look like Che, the ideal figure of radical chic filmakers in LA.)

Would that it were so--keep your kids from eating chicken.

It's a shame it's not that easily solved.

The cynical HBD take on this would be that the corrupt Iberian overclass gets kicked out, and South Of The Border becomes more desirable for indigenous and mestizos to stay put instead of flooding northward.

Who knows? With lots of ethno-cultural homogeneity and plenty of natural resources, maybe they can become the Denmarks of South America.

I doubt it, but it sure would be nice.

What about Juliette Lewis' deliciously evil character in "Natural Born Killers"?
