Oliver Stone | Club Random with Bill Maher

[@darindunn]

I auditioned for Stone once. He was the same person when this nobody (me) was auditioning for a small non-speaking part as he is here with Bill. He laughed at my bits, he asked me questions about myself, and he flashed that great smile. I’ve been a fan ever since.

[@F22ERaptor]

Interesting. For what movie (if I may ask)?

[@darindunn]

@@F22ERaptor Pinkville. He told me I had a speaking part. But then the writer’s strike happened (2007) and the movie died in development. It was about the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam. I had never auditioned for a movie before (or since) and he made the process such an experience. The casting all took place in Thailand where I was working in media.

[@F22ERaptor]

@@darindunn Thanks for sharing! Must have been a pretty cool experience.

[@Russellviews]

How cool! My sister once had a non-speaking part in a Kelsey Grammer movie and she said he was as kind and engaging as he appears. The movie was pretty much a flop though so no eternal cameo fame for my sister there...lol

[@ScottOlsen-di1gb]

I think what i like most about Oliver Stone is he simply tries to present people as who they are without applying a Western/American morality to them. This way you can understand their point of view and understand what motivates someone on the other side of the world. Then from there at their core you can begin to have a conversation about kind of world we should build. Tribes, czars, islamists, the far east. Right or wrong people are just different. I can see why he had such an affinity for Kennedy. We are all mortal.

[@johhny711]

The bottom line is Ukraine didn't want to be part of the Russian Federation, they want a proper democracy for their people, in return for that Putin has slaughtered 200,000 civilians and slaughtered 300,000 of his own people,Oliver thinks he's a lovely guy :)

[@farsalami8605]

What is exactly the "western morality" . 1-I sell to you and if you sell to me, the money must come back to us ( i have documentation of this on video like: the oil money we spend will you invest this money in Britain? etc. ) yes this has become weak... they made a mistake with china... underestimated them. China did warn them ( yes we can lol ) 2- democracy is cool as long as it prevents your country to make decision... when you get someone elected who wants to tac american companies in your countries.... we will destroy you? I could go on and on Btw i'm not ani west.... not even anything near that.... but these words have no real meaning... even north korea is called "democratic....." Democracy is a luxury... when everything is good, democracy works... otherwise it is useless. I know you have learnt at school that it is the otherway around. Pick up some history books and fact check it.

[@Servant_of_1111]

Bill Maher employs a psychological defense mechanism known as "Humorism," albeit unconsciously. This refers to using humor as a way to cope with or navigate uncomfortable or challenging situations. In Maher's case, he may use humor to address controversial topics or express opinions in a lighthearted manner, potentially deflecting criticism or easing tension. This interview also highlights Maher's concritization of intelligence, particularly evident in seniors experiencing cognitive decline. Concritization refers to the rigidification or crystallization of mental processes. In elderly individuals, this might manifest as a fixed and resistant mindset. Maher's display of this could include a reluctance to adapt to new ideas or a preference for familiar, established viewpoints. Surprisingly, Oliver Stone, who is of the same age, exhibits much more mental plasticity, showcasing a greater openness to new ideas and adaptability in contrast to Maher’s more fixed mindset.

[@lyndalinden8458]

When he starts getting his ass handed to him he uses comedy like a shield to ward off being called full of shit. Ignorance is fine, I don’t know how to fly a commercial airliner but I’m not putting myself out into the aviation world as someone with an opinion to snipe at people who know what they’re talking about. If two people are in biology, physics, anything in a field of study and a group of students applies themselves and one doesn’t, that’s ignorance of the subject matter. You don’t hold that person up as some paragon of knowledge on the subject at hand. It’s not just Oliver Stone, Maher has done it for a quarter of a century. Court Jesters are not who you want to get your information from. And when you do as he does, you don’t really come off as the intellectual that you, or your fans, think you are. Quite the opposite. Maher is hilariously sarcastic, that’s why I appreciate him as a comedian. I feel the same way about Dennis Miller. It’s ironic how both of them changed when they witnessed just how mental their end of the political spectrum could get when it really got going.

The more I argued with them, the better I came to know their dialectic. First they counted on the stupidity of their adversary, and then, when there was no other way out, they themselves simply played stupid. If all this didn't help, they pretended not to understand, or, if challenged, they changed the subject in a hurry, quoted platitudes which, if you accepted them, they immediately related to entirely different matters, and then, if again attacked, gave ground and pretended not to know exactly what you were talking about. Whenever you tried to attack one of these apostles, your hand closed on a jelly-like slime which divided up and poured through your fingers, but in the next moment collected again. But if you really struck one of these fellows so telling a blow that, observed by the audience, he couldn't help but agree, and if you believed that this had taken you at least one step forward, your amazement was great the next day. The *** had not the slightest recollection of the day before, he rattled off his same old nonsense as though nothing at all had happened, and, if indignantly challenged, affected amazement; he couldn't remember a thing, except that he had proved the correctness of his assertions the previous day. Sometimes I stood there thunderstruck. I didn't know what to be more amazed at: the agility of their tongues or their virtuosity at lying.

Bill Maher employs a psychological defense mechanism known as "Humorism," albeit unconsciously. This refers to using humor as a way to cope with or navigate uncomfortable or challenging situations. In Maher's case, he may use humor to address controversial topics or express opinions in a lighthearted manner, potentially deflecting criticism or easing tension. This interview also highlights Maher's concritization of intelligence, particularly evident in seniors experiencing cognitive decline. Concritization refers to the rigidification or crystallization of mental processes. In elderly individuals, this might manifest as a fixed and resistant mindset. Maher's display of this could include a reluctance to adapt to new ideas or a preference for familiar, established viewpoints. Surprisingly, Oliver Stone, who is of the same age, exhibits much more mental plasticity, showcasing a greater openness to new ideas and adaptability in contrast to Maher’s more fixed mindset.
