Oliver Stone slams 'fragile' Hollywood: 'Can't make a film without a sensitivity counselor'
The Hill ^ | 07 13 2020 | Joe Concha

Director Oliver Stone told The New York Times in an interview published Monday that Hollywood has become "too fragile, too sensitive," with the 73-year-old adding, "You can’t make a film without a sensitivity counselor."

The perspective from Stone, who is responsible for "Wall Street," "Born on the Fourth of July" and "JFK," comes ahead of his upcoming memoir, "Chasing the Light."

"Everything has become too fragile, too sensitive. Hollywood now — you can’t make a film without a Covid adviser. You can’t make a film without a sensitivity counselor. It’s ridiculous," Stone told the Times.

"It’s politically correct [expletive], and it’s not a world I’m anxious to run out into," Stone added. "I’ve never seen it quite mad like this. It’s like an 'Alice in Wonderland' tea party.

There hasn’t been a good film in like 4 or 5 years

Patriots day and darkest hour

The good films are from England at the moment and they’re period prices. Classic novels. Emma, Far from the Madding Crowd

Oliver Stone hits one out of the park. But how long will it be before he issues a “clarification”?

The Bolsheviks and Stalinists called the military side of this "Political Officers."

He just wants more anti-trump movies and knows that they tank at the box office, but just doesn’t want to pay for the production of any out his own pocket.

But this is the end result of your leftist agenda, Mr. Stone. Embrace the suck.

That’s “FRUNKEN-STEEN”.

Nobody wants to take the blame for creating the monster.

For the record, the movie remake of Stephen King’s “It” featured a monstrous clown lurking in the storm drain while vividly eating a child’s arm. I wonder if the sensitivity consultant was on a break repeatedly throughout that film?

I despise Oliver Stone, and I hate to be in agreement with him on anything, though I suppose I can say he is finally in agreement with me.

Probably his financial ox is being gored in some way.

These are the very same people who have used TV, movies and everything else they put into pop culture to create this reign of terror. Don’t you dare complain now when the angry mob sets up the guillotine for you in front of your house now!

I once saw Oliver Stone in the bar/nightclub area of Central, Hong Kong. It was very late at night. We guessed he was in town to promote the release of “Natural Born Killers”

He had 3 totally hot Chinese women all over him. One local colleague said he recognized one as a local b-grade actress.

Its part of the reason why I think for every actress Harvey Weinstein may have forced himself upon, there were probably 2-3 who were completely willing.

Did Oliver Stone get “red pilled” after figuring out he can’t make really original films since the late 1990’s?

Yes, it is crazy, Oliver, but it’s a world you helped create.

Try 10 who enabled and held the female for him since we know these thots think all girls should go through the rite of passage and none should be special.

Kadafi’s recruiting bodyguards had all been raped by him
