No movie for you!

Following up on my post re: Chavez saying that Oliver Stone was making a movie about him, Oliver Stone denies plan to make film about Venezuelan president.

However, since the source of the film news is Hugo himself, and he's known to make things up, I wouldn't be getting the popcorn in the microwave yet.

Reuters and the WaPo weren't as skeptical; they're not used to one of those things the charismatic-leader-helping-the-poor-offering-free-health-care-education-adult-literacy-and-job-training-initiatives-that-help-millions-of-Venezuelans^TM comes up with when he's running at the mouth in public.

Update, Thursday, May 25: Stone, passing
