- If you're serious about this, get prepared to be angry for a *long*
- time. We're you as offended by Oliver Stone presenting opinions as
- fact in "JFK"? How about in "Last Temptation..."? To be consistant,
- you will have to be angry at every pseudo-documentary feature film.
- From the tone of your original post, it appears you wouldn't have
- objected if the opposite opinions were presented as fact.
