When I dared to dread Oliver Stone making a 9/11 movie, I got a generous dose of crap from various of my friends from the left, notably James Wolcott. But here’s another friend from the left who shares my view of Stone, and so I will gleefully quote David Weinberger:
At least Alexander exposes Oliver Stone for what he is: A wildly incompetent director whose subject matter has led us to excuse his embarrassingly bad productions. Find a movie of his — I’ve seen most, but not all, of them — that doesn’t have a cliche-filled script, black-and-white characters, camera-work that needlessly calls attention to itself, actors pushed into career-damaging performances, and self-righteous, unsympathetic, simple-minded political stances.
