Oliver Stone, on the other hand, has been receiving a decidedly different reception [than the Gordon Gekko character] while researching the film around town. “When Oliver has walked into a major hedge fund or boiler room, they break out in applause,” Pressman said. “He’s a hero to them. Wall Street is going to love the new film even more.”

    Oliver Stone is a friend-a-mine, and I like him.
    Like me, he is an outstanding journalist, and his documentaries are riveting, and carefully researched, just like my books.

    Bess:
    I constantly see commercials on your site suggesting I cartoonify myself. Assuming your budget permits, could you apply the treatment to Shia as well as anyone else that comes to mind?
    Thanks,

    A hero? Why he’s doing God’s work, that’s all.
