Seems the French problem with the U.S. is envy after all...
Citing Hollywood's stranglehold over the film industry as an example,
Chirac stressed that only with government assistance could countries
maintain their cultural heritage.
This is pretty funny. While much of the world goes gaga over the trash
hollywood produces Americans wonder how people can be so shallow as to
think
Hollywood represents American culture. I think this is what spawned the
saying, "Get a life".

Americans may wonder, but the act remains that to much of the world,
especially the Third World, Hollywood DOES represent American culture
and values. Are you happy to have Hollywood representing you?
Who is this Hollywood fellow you guys keep talking about?
It's this corrupt ******* who will produce anything people will watch, preys
on all the weaknesses of humanity and gives America a bad rap. Frank Zappa
described him best in The Slime.

Sounds like a fictional character to me. Did "Finding Nemo" give us a bad rap?
Did it prey on all the weaknesses of humanity? Granted a lot of people did
watch this particular film. You may have a point there. If it has an audience
there is some one in L.A. who will produce it. But I thought you were a in
favor of a free market system. Not for film?
