"When I see an American flag flying, it's a joke,"

MAKING "Gosford Park" in England seems to have turned Robert Altman against the United States. "When I see an American flag flying, it's a joke," he fumed to the Times of London yesterday. "This present government in America I just find disgusting, the idea that George Bush could run a baseball team successfully - he can't even speak! I just find him an embarrassment."


Altman's feeling is so strong, he's thinking of moving to London for good. "I'd be very happy to stay here," he tells the paper. "There's nothing in America that I would miss at all."

Damn I really wanted to see that movie I might boycott now till it comes out on video.

Then don't let the door hit you in the ass on yer way out, pally!

The dirty little secret that no one's telling this moron is that there's no American that would miss him at all.

[Ditter]

I'm sorry that I have already seen Gosford Park.

[tm61]

yep, the true nature of a liberal, why is anyone surprised?

[Wagonmaster]

s they say in Jolly Old England, good ridence to bad rubbish

[BubbaJunebug]

Hey...Robert Altman...don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

[wny]

He's an idiot. Ignore him.

There are three things we could do: 1) Boycott the movie "Godsford Park"

2) Start a petition campaign to not have him considered for a Academy Award

3) It states in the article that he plans on filming his next movie, here in the states, write the studio in protest of allowing him to film here and promising protests if he does.

Remember the only thing Hollywood understands: THE BOTTOM LINE

TO Mr. Altman... AMF By the way on your way out of MY country, please stop by and kiss my Red White and Blue American @$$.

[Destructor]

To Robert Altman: GOOD RIDDANCE!!! America won't miss you either, Bob!!!

[RiverDrifter]

Want to do something constructive? Just stop going to movies and ignore the TV garbage they create...Thats the response that will get the attention of these pathetic creatures.

Exactly!! Stop giving them your hard-earned cash.

I have seen Gosford Park too, and I thought it was superb, probably had more to do with Julian Fellowes, than Altman, which just goes to show you the man is too ignorant to realise to whom he owes what. No wonder Hollywood loved Clinton so much: they salute their own narcissisim. When I hear Altman speak, its a joke.

PS I also saw the miserable "Dr. T and the Women" just because I was at the Dallas Aboretum the day they filmed the wedding scene. Horrible, just horrible.

What a joke this guy is. Can you blame him though? I'd be disgusted too if my only friends were Hollyweird clymer types and that was my only exposure to the US;-)

What a goof! Certainly there are some places in the US, I would never miss, but the whole country? I need only look at pictures of Afghanistan and Somalia, or know the politics in England(which is home to my mother's family) or France to know how blessed I was to have been born and raised in the good 'ole US of A. These Hollyweird babies don't seem to understand that thier pockets would be empty if it wasn't for good Bush supporting Americans who see their crap movies anyway!

[chatham]

This is his third or fourth threat to move.

He better hurry 'cause if that's his picture he don't look like he has too much time left.

Make sure he takes the rest of the Vomit with him,Streislan, Etc,Etc.

BYE ALL!!

On Wednesday night, less than 24 hours before he assaulted a heckler at Madison Square Garden, Baldwin spoke before a crowd of 300 at a five-hour long Town Planning Board public hearing in Amagansett, convened to decide whether the Bistrian Golf Club in East Hampton should be allowed to erect a clubhouse and parking lot. While Baldwin argued against allowing the permit, attendees interrupted him with catcalls, jeers and remarks like, "Why are you still here? I thought you were leaving the country." When Baldwin at one point complained that the new clubhouse would cause a big traffic headache, one man shouted, "Not as bad as when you had the president at your house!" Baldwin, unkempt and unshaven, exceeded his time limit, riling the crowd even more. Catching Baldwin's humiliation on film was Oscar-winning documentarian Barbara Kopple, who has six camera crews covering the Hamptons this summer for a movie on the over-leveraged resort. No wonder Baldwin flipped out the next night when fans jeered him at the Knicks game. - HAMPTONS TURN HISSY ON ALEC BALDWIN
