I still say there isn’t a market in this country for anti-American, America-trashing films. I could be wrong. Hollyweird is so out of touch with reality. I guess that happens when you live in a fantasy world anyway.

“I still say there isn’t a market in this country for anti-American, America-trashing films.”

I'd say you're partly right and partly wrong.

Michael Moore, e.g., does well with anti-American dreck.

OTOH, the audience for big-budget action flicks is different (based on my survey of one fan). When we go to see a war movie, we want the good guys to win — after they display their heroism. Also, the U.S. should be the good guys. (That's the same in Canada — although, I'd make an exception regarding the War of 1812.)

I agree. I would like to see more biker movies, though. And I don’t care if they’re the good or bad guys.
