much against the sentimental response I--like so many of us--have in response to the Kennedy name, I realize that I agree with every part of your argument, and have for a long time. this the main reason I'm unable to take Oliver Stone very seriously after "Platoon," which is a good war movie that relies on the tropes established by war movies in general.
the "theories" he espoused in "JFK" ran entirely counter to anything observable on the level of phenomenal reality.
I actually did TRY to watch those Putin interviews, but after five minutes or less realized that ME observing THEIR psychological fellatio session just isn't FUN.
Oliver and I became friends in the 80s when we were in a "horse race" to see if "Platoon" or "In the Year of the Monkey" would become *the* Vietnam movie (he was a graceful winner). But after JFK, he ended up waaaay the hell "out there," and the last time I saw him about 20 years ago it took us 5 minutes to start yelling at each other.
