oliver stone...

is a dumbass.

Oliver Stone has accepted much of the acrimonious criticism that was heaped on his $150-million epic Alexander. Speaking in Sydney, Australia, where the film opens on Jan. 20, Stone said, "I still think it's a beautiful movie, but Alexander deserves better than I gave him." Reporting on the director's remarks, the Sydney Daily Telegraph said that in an interview Stone admitted that "the movie was too long, didn't tell the story of Alexander the Great very well and was too focused on outing the ancient Greek hero."There was clear resistance to his homosexuality. It became the headline to the movie," Stone was quoted as saying. "They called him Alexander the Gay. That's horribly discriminatory, but the film simply didn't open in the Bible Belt [of the U.S. South]. Kids weren't comfortable with men who hugged or a king who cried and expressed tenderness."

the sky cried for me last night. cried for me because i couldn't. didn't want to just then. on a cold LA night wrapped in fake bamboo, trash can sculptures and pvc. it weeps still.

clever sky.

there was much laughter, serious discussions of the chimeric cheese tree, blow up pubs on barges in france, making space shuttles out of cardboard boxes, leg warmer bikinis and the tardis-like properties of the long coat. there can be only one.

so long and yet utterly fleeting.

i hear Paris is nice in April. or crowded.

je t'aime.

the only french i know. the only french worth knowing.
