Iranian and liberal heads are exploding. This director might be a decent person and as an artist I don't like to ban art too much, but I think this is something as a nation we need to do when it concerns the Middle East. It's extreme and it might make people hate us more but too bad. The way I look at it is this: Iran doesn't play nice with us or Israel - it's still a gigantic sponsor of terror. If normal Iranians don't like this ban well...they need to then work within Iran to remove the Islamic dictatorship and foster a nation wide human rights movement. If this is done, the ban will be removed.

He can have Leonardo DiCaprio pick him up in his fancy jet for the evening and drop him back home after the event. I’m sure Leo wouldnt mind.

Given that the ‘religion of peace’ has lead to nothing but warfare in its’ inherent doctrine of global forced submission to Sharia Law for 1400 years....
....it is a real lose that this guy won’t show up

Lol ... I love it when the media singles out the exceptions in order to garner sympathy towards that one individual while ramping up more disdain (if that’s even possible), from the Hollywood elitists and their mindless minions. Suck it up, buttercup.

If you are a loyal citizen of a country where government officials, and the public at large, routinely chant “Death to America”, maybe you should not come to the US.

Oh, that photoshop is going to be appropriately used a lot of times in the next few years, especially every time President Trump signs another Executive Order flusihing still more Traitorobama\Traitorclinton policies down the sewer.

Anything that ticks off the liberal scum at the Academy Awards giving each other trophies is fine by me.
I have purposely avoided that self-serving garbage for 30 years.

If Time thinks well of him, he must be a real shitball.
Iran, Hollyweird, and every muzzie on the face of the earth can go TAFFAARD.

The Indian film industry is called “Bollywood.”
What should we call the Iranian film industry? Mullywood?
