Just watched the documentary. Obviously I don't like Stone one iota, but the documentary is interesting to watch. I think if we have a nuclear holocaust destroy the world, cockroaches and Stone may be the only two things to survive.

Hunh,
So, not a fan I'll presume?

Couldn't pick him out of a lineup, but what'd he do? Or not do?

You seem pretty upset, why so?

i watched it a few days ago. I thought it was kind of fascinating.

The guy is good at what he does and he's also a character (kind of looks like Pence but certainly acts like Trump). And unless the documentary is completely off-base (and it might be), you get the feeling he was the one pushing all the buttons of the Trump campaign, even though he was 'fired'. Somehow he escapes unscathed but all of his friends and enemies (Manafort, Lewandowski, Clinton) go down. I'm guessing he and Kushner also are enemies, although the documentary doesn't mention Kushner much at all.

Another thing I wonder about is Stone's sexual choices. He clearly is pro-choice and supports same sex marriages. They show him marching in the Rainbow Parade (and being booed), and two of his mentors starting out in his career both died of AIDS (Roy Cohn and Terry Dolan). He seems happily married but he was busted in the past for trying to seek out crazy sexual partners/threesomes online.

Still, it's an interesting documentary. And you can't dispute Stone has been involved in a ton of political history (starting way back with Watergate when he was just 19).

There was an interview, I guess triggered by the release of the documentary, that I posted on here in the last week that was pretty interesting.
