I have, practically, read the entire site of 100 things wrong with Oliver Stone's "JFK".

I have one thing to say:

I now have NO respect for Oliver Stone. While he may be good at drama, the fact that he distorted facts, made up situations that didn't exist, and then tried to survive on pure conjecture, and THEN claim that this is the truth (as the movie was pretty big on), is not only ridiculous - it is insulting to the intelligence of the American people.

As well, when a movie usually does that bit with white letters, you expect it to tell something rather truthful, since that's the POINT of it. However, all it did was further lies and distorting the truth. Oliver Stone, Jim Garrison, and a lot of Conspiracy Theorists are no better than their imaginary conspiracies - they distort the truth to convince us that the government distorts the truth. Heh.

(NOte that I didn't say ALL conspiracy theorists. Somewhere out there, there are a couple of conspiracy theorists that actually love facts... I hope)

Anyone got a link on his other movies? Like Nixon? I want to see what he messed up on that, too.
