Run that by me again. I'm still not sure what they're bitching about.

He's pissed that he can't get major American distribution for *his* film and he's trying to get attention. Watch for "Abouna" to hit the Tedious & Unwatchable Art House circuit in the next month or so.

If I were George Lucas, I would never make another movie in Africa. Don't want to risk offending anyone, you know?.

"Tunisia doubled as Tattooine"

Damn...someone call the men in black. There must be a helluva lot of people of interest running around in Tunisia.

I'm shocked, shocked to find out that... no wait, that's from another movie from a desert.

Next time someone needs to make a movie with 2 million square miles of sand, they'll be back. So quit complaining.

"Around the world, people get the wrong image of Africa through movies because African actors are just dancing and laughing with big teeth. "It's the fault of the directors and their vision about Africa. It's like the Garden of Eden, or a location just for animals. "I think that a lot of movies made by Hollywood in Africa, or shooting black actors, was wrong. "They had a certain idea about black people - it's a cultural way to think like that."

The progressive liberals of Hollywood perpetuating an image of Africa as being populated with happy, dancing black people? Gee, I wonder where we have heard that perspective before? Couldn't be the old "dem black folk just happy on ol' Massas plantation", now could it? Naw...
