Just curious -- my personal sense of Oliver Stone has been that he's been playing ball from the beginning of his career. I have never seen him as a maverick or truth-speaker, so much as a very typical Hollywood liberal, a cokehead with a conscience. (What's that really worth, though?)

I seem to ascertain another narrative emerging from that Cannonfire piece is that Stone has been "selling out" with these recent moves. Is there some history I'm missing out on?

Agreed. Have been watching on netflix. At a minimum it's a decent primer for the open minded but completely uninitiated.
