Actress and New York native Maggie Gyllenhaall makes some controversial remarks at Friday night's TriBeCa Film Festival.
Gyllenhaal was at the premiere of her movie "The Great New Wonderful" which opened at the festival Friday night. The film is set in the city about a year after September 11, 2001 and looks at New Yorkers' feelings after the attacks.
But while describing the movie, the Lower East Side native said the United States should share some of the blame for what happened that day.
"I think what's good about the movie is that it deals with 9/11 in such a subtle, open, open way that I think it allows it to be more complicated than just 'Oh, look at these poor New Yorkers and how hard it was for them,' because I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt with allows that to sort of creep in," said Gyllenhaal.
The TriBeCa Film Festival was started after the terror attacks to bring tourists and money back to downtown Manhattan.
Well I sure hope she never has to deal with the "delicacies" of having been say, raped, because she wears sexy (to someone) clothes and therefore must not only be asking for it, but probably deserving of being raped too.
Hey Mags, here's something else for you to ponder. What say you STFU about global events/issues (etc.) and just stick to acting, a**hole!
Not surprised, also won't be surprised if their efforts flop.
Looks like we're compiling a tobacco spit hall of fame .... hmmmm, who else should be duly christened????
The Internet has changed things. Years ago I'd read something like this and steam and wish I could express myself somehow. Now so many people have already commented that it's hard to care much about it. It's as though the emotions have been contracted out, and one moves quickly to a state of indifference.
Frustrations were greater once and built up in people. Now everyone has a chance to speak their piece. Things look more empassioned, but maybe the catharsis relieves tensions that would otherwise accumulate.
Great choice!!!
(actually he earned his spittle before Hanoi Jane).
Donnie Darko was probably the worst movie I've seen in a long time.
The only way I could ever get back at my girlfriend for making me suffer through that crap would be to make her consecutively watch every movie ever made by John Cassavetes, Martin Scorsese, Sam Peckinpah, John Woo, Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, etc.
Oh my GOD, that movie was bad...
Gee, graphics would be nice... wish I had the skills to illustrate.... or animate would be even more hilarious.
Maybe she'll change her mind if terrorists drop a jet engine on her house and kill her brother.
Maggie needs to concentrate on doing softcore porn with James Spader, its all she's good at.
Does she by chance list any of the 'reprehensible' things America has done?
How young is she and at what age can we expect her to start thinking on her own?
Looks more like that person is trying to make you not look at her face or think of her mind! LOL

It's a "cult" classic, but I have never seen it. (I used to like films that were called cult films -- like "Harold And Maude," "Brewster McCloud" -- up until I saw "Heathers" and "Ginger Snaps" -- I thought those films were so awful that I've come to believe calling a film a "cult" film is marketing crap.) |
The best part of Donnie Darko was when he died and the movie ended!
bwahahahaha
Nice to see you in the forum again.
Cheers,

As despicable as her comments were and they were horrible, I did like Donnie Darko. That's where my admiration ends though for that family though. What's ironic about this, is the militant islamists wouldn't think twice about slaughtering her because she has the audicity to wear skimpy clothing. You should thank the lord you live in America you prissy b****.
