"I'm a very optimistic person and I don't want to feel like there isn't growth, but there needs to be an adjustment anyway. You know, making Da Vinci Code and then Angels and Demons I've actually spent a lot more time in Europe and working with crew members and actors and understanding how they live and how they think and they grow up.
"...at a certain point I don't think we'll be so consumed with being the pre-eminent super-power and, you know, driven by sort of militarism and this need to export, you know, democracy and so forth."
Right-o; who needs that old super-power sort of reputation anyway. Who needs militarism!?
We don't need to worry about terrorists! We don't need strong national security!
Dreamer.
Buy a one way ticket to Europe and stay there, Opie.
Michelle Malkin has more.

There are few things my ironic side enjoys more than a couple of know it all fat cats looking forward to a world improved by the increased poverty of people other than themselves.
The nerve of America to export democracy. Obama has put an end to that. I've begun to think that he doesn't want us to have any to export. The two creeps show that the culture wars are heating up.
"I've actually spent a lot more time in Europe and working with crew members and actors and understanding how they live and how they think and they grow up."
I too spent a lot of time in Europe and spent a lot of time with the people, but you know what? I was still an American in Europe and didn't know how it was to be European. Just because I was in Europe and knew Eruopeans, didn't mean I knew everything about them.
Once again the stupidity of Hollywood raises its head. Just like when Jessica Lange testified before Congress in the mid-1980's, because she played the part of a farmer's wife who was about to lose the farm. She testified because she "knew how it felt to go through the crisis of losing a farm."
Oh really? Just how in hell does it feel Jessica?
I could tell you, and I really do know how it feels, because my parents were farmers in the mid-west and almost lost the farm.
Now back to Ron Howard who, under the same premise, knows what it's like to be European, because he's been there. Give me a break! Unless you are a true part with vested intrests of what's going on, you really don't know. And I'm certain Mr. Howard paid European taxes for what he made in Europe, but did he pay the full price of what real Europeans pay for what they earn and own? I doubt it. So j
And as far as "...at a certain point I don't think we'll be so consumed with being the pre-eminent super-power and, you know, driven by sort of militarism and this need to export, you know, democracy and so forth."
This is from someone who has spent his entire life pretending to be people who aren't real, or directing people who are pretending to be someone they're not. So, go back to Pretendland and let people who live in the real world alone.
