And objectivity goes right out the window

Oliver Stone, the producer-director known for such movies as Platoon, JFK, and Born on the Fourth of July, is planning to do another political biography in the same vein as his 1995 movie Nixon . . . only this time, his subject will be our current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And given Stone's oft-dubbed "conspiratorial" politics, I naturally wondered if this new film would have a particular political bent—which Stone himself addressed right away:

Stone, an outspoken critic of the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, told the trade publication he's not looking to make an anti-Bush polemic. He said he wants "a fair, true portrait of the man."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! And Michael Moore really intended Fahrenheit 9/11 to be a romantic comedy.
