I'll acknowledge that as well as the fact that Stone is the more interesting person to hang around than McKay who was so self-righteous he actually interrupted one of the Times COLUMnists who was interviewing him to correct him. And admittedly he has self-awareness and a sense of humor - I remember him playing himself in Dave in which he's parodying himself in a Larry King interview - and the audience knows he's actually right and everyone thinks he;s nuts because Oliver Stone.
