#1 49 yrs old. Yep, about right. Lol, if he just cried in his beer I might find him a merely pathetic and toolish creature. No, he hates himself, thus - in that peculiarly moonbat logic - it must be America's fault. It can't be that he's just a fuckwit moonbat and toolfool. No, that would never do.

I wonder if a Bush-like character was the cruel slavemaster of his epic. And Dr Rice - was she his plaything? This guy will be an instant celeb in LLL GoofyWorld.

Sigh. It won't be a minute too soon when my generation finally fucking dies off and the output of moonbat misanthropy drops back to a trickle. The kids seem to be weathering this teacup tempest of self-flagellation remarkably well - in America, anyway. It's us. We gotta go.

#2 His work might not be slanted enough to win the palm. Next year he should try to compare Bush to Hitler more. Its a little formulaic but if he's shooting for pay-dirt, boy-meets-girl just won't cut it.

#3 Manderlay? Somebody's got his literature confused:

Last night I dreamed I went to Manderlay again...

On the road to Manderlay
Where the flyin' moonbats play
And the dawn comes up like blunder
Outer Napoule, 'cross the Bay

'Less he means Mandingo.

#4 Oh no! Not another filmmaker! How much criticism must we take?! How many 'artistic' statements, negative portrayals and renderings from pretentious European directors can Americans withstand?!

I thought that we would never survive the wrath of Wim Wenders and Roland Emmerich. And then when Ken Loach and Pedro Almodovar started bad mouthing the U.S., it was all I could do not to burst into tears. But with Lars Von Trier launching his sequel to Dogville, I think us Neo-Cons need to throw in the towel.

The U.S. must repent. Lars has shown us the error of our ways.

#6 BTW, I finally saw Emmerich's Emetic Epic last night (The Day After Tomorrow for those who've forgotten his "credits") and it was a howler, lol! Amazing. I'm sure Maurice Strong got a good laugh from it.
