Personally, I can't wait for the Kodak sponsored version of Cannes they're building in Vegas at the mo... well not really, but that would sort out having to bother with 'the Euros' at all. :P

How about some films about the "dark underbelly" of Europe? This peculiar obsession with failings of the United States only betrays a lack of cultual confidence on the part of Europeans who think this way. So if you want American culture "out of your head" stop fucking talking about it. Create something original and/or provacotive about your own experience and society.
And by the way, American film, painting and literature are full of critical self-examination and introspection. The difference is Europeans revel in existenial dispair because for them there is nothing left to believe in. Americans, perhaps naively depending on your point of view, still hold unto Judeo-Christian belief systems that most Europeans now hold in contempt. Theirs is naturally a somewhat more balanced dipiction of life than European nihilism. American art has a nihilistic elements but it is nihilism without an abyss. The current so-called anti-American debate is, in short, really a question of self-esteem and identity.

Cactus is so spot on. It's like that fucking Spielberg making films about holocaust stuff. Like - why don't you make films about America huh? Why are you trying to attack Europeans by harping on about World War 2!??

If america only were to make movies about america, they would have run out of good stories to tell long time ago because of it's short history
