So, what happened to the "chill wind", Timmy???

AFAIK, you can still spew anti-American blob without fear of retribution...

The major news organisations are bitterly attacked in the play for slavishly following the US military's official line in their reports from correspondents embedded with soldiers in Iraq.

Imagine. Listening to the correspondents who are actually with the troops rather than calling Michael Moore to get the story.

In his research for the play, Robbins said he delved into stories from the Guardian and Independent newspapers in Britain which "reported entirely different stories than the ones we were seeing in the United States"

Sheesh, he ought to visit Free Republic more often. You have people here posting Pravda. Sheeeeit. He thinks he's about half smart.

As I recall, even the liberal media said the play sucked eggs.

He needs to quit doing "Theatre" and start living in the real world....

Arrogant stuff like this is reasons why people my age and younger (im 24) dont really pay any attention to the arts or "Theatre"

Dear Mr. Robbins: if you can talk the way you do about the country you are a citizen of, thank an American soldier.

Let's ask this: Tim, in your wisdom, could you see fit to give us a few words on Beslan and what it means for civilized people?

I guess sedition by American new organizations weren't despicable enough for Timmy.

I've repeated his words here before to hoist him by his own petard, but here goes:

"How can he be so obtuse? Is it deliberate?"

I guess he had to take it overseas because not enough people here want to hear his garbage. He almost makes me not want to watch "The Shawshank Redemption" again.

"Liberals" is shorthand for "Wild-eye, foaming at the mouth, nutcases".

It's kind of sad, really.....you have to be pretty old to remember a time when the Democrat Party was actually a decent group of people.

Robbins went to Venice to learn the fine art of blowing... glass.

The DemoCrappers have not been decent since the turn of the century, the 20th century, most people that remembered any decent Demos are long gone!

Robbins's play didn't float here, so he's gone searching for another audience who will like it. Loser, loser, loser. He should have taken it to the friendly audience at the Guardian-- mightta had a chance there. /utter disdain

Any chance we can get Robbins on the Kennedy No Fly List?

Some of Tim Robbins work is paid for by a little know organization, Public Theater. It's a subsidiary of PBS, so YOUR tax dollars pay for this cr*p.
