"HONG KONG (AP) -- Ang Lee says he's baffled by the poor box office results of "Taking Woodstock" -- the Oscar-winning director's worst-performing English-language movie in the U.S. in 10 years.

Unlike most baby boomers, I accepted growing up and facing reality.

But as a boomer male you were one of the 9.4 million boomer men that served in the military which gave you a leg up.

And now that they are fat, old, and ugly, they are more repulsive than ever.

I would not describe boomer Sarah Palin that way.

Perhaps Ang Lee - rather than producing movies critical of American culture - should show some innovation and directoral bravery.

And produce a movie which portrays members of Mao’s long march as gay marchers. Rather than some dumb-a** portrayal of American cowboys.

I think Ang Lee is an anti-American racist.

I may be old but I am not fat and ugly. Neither am I repulsive. It is you that has one BIG problem attitude.

My friend, if you will look around at our generation, I’m afraid you will see that those of us who have kept our hair, stayed in terrific shape, and not wrinkled up like prunes are the exception to the rule. Remember: denial is not just a rive in Egypt.

“how fed up America is with the Woodstock Self Centered Generation”

Yep, how they abdicated every chance to rise to the occasion and then soaked the people for every benefit.

I was speaking for myself. Each day I go to work I marvel that without the baby boomers, we would have to shut down our nuclear power plants.
