Oliver Stone Blames Bush for Alexander movie flop

Oliver Stone has blamed Bush and the War in Iraq for the horrendus box office performance of his movie Alexander. How sad is that? It almost reads like a Scrappleface story.

Director Oliver Stone turned on American critics and audiences on

He also blamed the U.S. invasion of Iraq for the movie's poor performance at the box office, arguing that people were distracted by comparisons between Alexander the Great's forays into the Middle East and President Bush. "Because Alexander at times sounds like George (W.) Bush, (people) get the two confused," he said. "I think it makes people feel queasy about empire and the concepts that Alexander espoused, but Alexander was not attacking the east in order to drain it of its resources. He stayed in the east."
