Berlin (dpa) - Actors Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Banderas at the presentation of their latest film on Sunday in Berlin expressed their concerns about the government of U.S. President George W. Bush.

Banderas openly criticized the U.S. government, saying it had done its job very poorly. The price for Bush's policies would be enormous not only for the U.S., he said, but for the rest of the world.

Zeta-Jones also stated her dissatisfaction with the current U.S. administration.

Ditto, that goes for music, books, etc. too.

[LucyJo]

They think we love them as much as they love themselves.

[cardinal4]

Yawn..Hollyweirdos bashing America in a foreign country..news at 11..

[Savage Beast]

I just cancelled all plans to see Jones or Banderas movies.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Don't tell me that pinhead Banderas is going to screw up Zorro AGAIN!!!! I thought his first attempt was bad enough to get the job done.

[Fudd Fan]

lol-- No one could love either one of them THAT much!!

[AprilfromTexas]

You're right. Are either of them US citizens? Isn't she from Scotland and he's from Spain(not sure)?

If I recall Michael Douglas ditched his older 'look alike' wife to be with Jones.

Just once, I'd like to hear one of these overpaid narcissistic parasites stand up at a "film festival" and condemn the head hackers and terrorists as being evil and depraved.
But of course they know that they'd be placed on a jihad hit list and it would put their precious ass at risk so it's more popular to whine about the guy who allows them to live their life of privilege and who keeps them safe and snug at night.
They are lazy thinkers, stupid and contemptible.

Does ANYONE in Hollywood ever have an original thought?

They remade Herbie The Love Bug. What does that tell you?

[varyouga]

STFU and, um... "entertain" me.

[LucyJo]

Amen to that! Our troops are flesh and blood heroes who don't have stunt men and doubles. They have no script, and get no retakes on the tough stuff.

[Colonial Warrior]

Read your homepage...welcome to FR.

Glad to have you on our team.

[LucyJo]

I think you are right! lol.

There is not enough information in this very short piece to justify many of the responses posted here. The "dissatisfaction" could easily just be reporter "interpretation" aka bias. Below is all the piece says about CZJ:

Zeta-Jones also stated her dissatisfaction with the current U.S. administration.

Speaking about their new film "The Legend of Zorro", Zeta-Jones said the world desperately needed morally courageous people that stood up for people similar to the action heroes in their new film.

In her opinion, there was no one in today's work that was filling that role.

That's it. I googled for more detail but found nothing. I presume that "work" should be "world".

What a clueless imbecile. The US, Great Britain, and Australia are doing just what she wishes. These nations are the morally courageous nations standing up to the insidious islamofascists.

Amen to that! Our troops are flesh and blood heroes who don't have stunt men and doubles. They have no script, and get no retakes on the tough stuff.

Wish everyone would realize just what it means to support our soldiers! They deserve it and we must do it!!

Let's see now,
The first President of the US to be murdered was shot by...
1. An Islamist?
2. A Baptist?
3. A farmer?
4. An Actor?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Grrr. Bend over and I will teach you how to bark.

[steelyourfaith]

It's always good to know what the nation's intellectual thespians are feeling.

You can credit the Bush administration with one thing. Since he has been in office Hollywood and the Music industry has gotten "smarter". We can know add Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas to the list of foreign policy experts the administration has created.
