During the W. junket Oliver Stone announced that there will soon be a website up that explains all the research sources for all scenes in the film, the accuracy of which may soon be questioned in conservative quarters. I suggested to W. screenwriter Stanley Weiser during our interview that the site should be up before opening day to make it easier for journalists working on serious analysis pieces a chance to reference, etc. Anyway, the film opens in six days and there's no trace of the W. fact site. Yet. As Luis Guzman's character says in The Limey, "You could see the sea out there if you could see it."

I never relate to news junkie/political people who have to make such a big deal about FACTUAL ACCURACY in film. Those are usually people who don't appreciate film as an art form, and more likely people with a vested agenda.

Like when all those news douchebags bitched about JFK or Mike Wallace complaining about THE INSIDER. Like, DUDE, MICHAEL FUCKING MANN IS MAKING A MOVIE ABOUT YOU. WHO CARES IF IT'S ACCURATE?

FILM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN BULLSHIT POLITICS. At least if you truly love film, it should be.

Fuck, they could make a movie where Bush was the Prime Minister of Canada and had blonde hair and moonlights on the Calgary Flames, as long as IT'S A GOOD MOVIE, THE FACTS DON'T FUCKING MATTER.

MOVIES = AWESOME. NEWS = BORING.

LEX HAS SPOKEN.
