Oliver Stone latest film flops

Stone is a known leftist propagandist and his adoring films on Yasser Arafat and Fidel Castro show that. But his luck seems to be finally running out.

Oliver Stone’s Hugo Chavez Film Flops in Venezuela

While Venezuelan media outlets that criticize Hugo Chavez’s regime get the duct tape treatment, Oliver Stone is out seeking to promote a movie that lionizes the autocrat....Now he’s got a lefty documentary called “South of the Border” that heralds Hugo....Surprise, surprise — the beleaguered citizens of Venezuela decided not show up to watch the whitewash of their so-called president.

Many of the theaters were reportedly empty. During the first 12 days of the movie’s release, it brought in only $18,601 on 20 screens, according to Global Rentrak. That’s what Venezuelans refer to as La Bomba...

Stone shouldn’t worry too much, though. “South of the Border” is sure to be a big hit with Marxist professors, socialist union bosses, and the 13 people who still tune in to MSNBC.

And I have no doubt a liberal senator will request 100 million to buy this crap.
