Oliver Stone hasn’t had a hit film in 14 years. Why does this guy continue to get financed with a track record of one box office dud after another?

Because he's a castro-hugging scumbag and the socialist left that run the house and senate love him for it. He could smear poop on celluloid and call it "W" and they'd finance 3 sequels.

In the minds of this movie’s target audience, President Bush is irrelevant. He is yesterday’s news. They don’t even care enough to hate him anymore.

Besides, they have John McCain and Sarah Palin to hate now. One can only hate so many people at a time, you know.

I heard she was in the film, but didn't know what part she played.

I didn’t know that. What a shame. I sure hope they catch whoever did this brutal crime.

Nikki Finke’s story yesterday morning about HS3 was interesting. Hollywood seems offended their High Art movies (like W) are being shellacked by pure entertainment movies. They (the Hollywood crowd) are serious artists, doncha know.

That being said, I'm glad I don't have any tween-age daughters to drag me to see HSM 3. Having watched a small part of the original HSM while channel surfing I feel the pain of any sentient adult forced to watch these things start to finish.

The damage to film making done by directors like Stone doesn’t just consist of the movies they make but the movies that won’t be made. For example, thanks to Stone there won’t be another attempt to make a film bio of Alexander the Great for at least another generation. And thanks to Alexander’s failure the proposed films about Hannibal (the Carthaginian, not the cannibal) never got off the ground. The failures of Stone and others prevent potentially good movies from being made.

Do they know who or why she was attacked?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas television anchorwoman died Saturday, several days after she didn’t answer her wake-up call and was found beaten in her home, hospital officials said.

Anne Pressly, 26, died at St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Margaret Preston said.

In a statement released by the hospital, Pressly’s parents, Guy and Patti Cannady, asked for privacy as they grieved.

“It was our hope, as was yours, that Anne would overcome the injuries inflicted upon her in the brutal attack at her home,” the statement read. “We were with her in her last moments, and although our hearts are broken, we are at the same time comforted by our faith knowing that Anne is now with our heavenly father.”

Pressly was beaten around the head, face and neck. She had been unable to communicate with her family or police while being kept sedated in the intensive care unit.

The anchor’s death came only a day after a doctor said he was encouraged that her vital signs were stable while she remained in critical condition. Dr. Clifton R. Johnson told reporters Friday that swelling in Pressly’s brain had gone down since being hospitalized and that doctors had slowly been reducing her sedative dosages.

She was discovered Monday morning a half-hour before she was to appear on ABC affiliate KATV’s “Daybreak” program. Her mother went to her home after she didn’t answer her regular wake-up call.

Police have yet to identify a suspect, though detectives have combed the area around Pressly’s home in the Heights neighborhood - a mix of bungalows and mansions near the Little Rock Country Club. News reports have said detectives found evidence that Pressly’s credit card was used Monday at a gas station a few miles from her home.
