Oliver Stone was in Bangkok for a Bridges - Dialogue For Peace event on 25th January this year, 2010. Along at the press photo shoot in the Dusit Thani Hotel, across from where the Red Shirts are now, a few questions were accepted but I didn't get one in then. Only after he stood up and was moving towards the exit I managed to show him this Blogspot address for Project Pineapple and asked him to please take a look.
"It's about Cluster Bombs" I said. "Of course" observed Stone, director of movies such as Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Heaven and Earth, not to mention the highly relevant 'JFK', replying with the awareness of someone intimately knowledgeable of the American War and all associated issues.
Many have asked why this is called Project Pineapple, thus some elementary photo explanations in this blog. Stone, familiar with the jargon, he knew straight away.
