He might be a bit full of himself but he is no idiot.
I agree with him about that war is moving backwards, it really is.

I really like his movies and i just saw him in Funny games and it was brilliant. Who got upset? No europeans i can tell you that. It’s okey for american kids to grow up to be fat retards but its not allowed to make movies that makes you think and makes you feel a bit guilty that you watch people get killed or hurt for entertainment. Just think about Jackass the Movie. Thats entertainment for dumb people! Its great that some people have the courage to make different movies to start a dialouge. It takes a European to do that!

Well, he’s not actually dissing soldiers per say…He’s dissing war and he’s dissing people who’re excited to got to war and kill people…and he’s right

I don’t know if anyone’s seen the original “Funny Games,” but if the remake is as effective as the original (since its shot for shot, and filled with great actors, I don’t doubt it will be), then Pitt’s commens about it are right on the money. It does upset you and make you think about film-violence and all that other groovy stuff. It’s going to be interesting when it opens because they’re marketing it like a big horror movie, which it isn’t. Hopefully it will at least start a discussion.

This dude slams mediocrity in his taste in films. Too bad he doesn’t slam mediocrity in music. His band, Pagoda, is up there with Dogstar for worst band with a actor in it.

I have never heard of Michael Pitt until now, but I whole heartedly agree with him. It’s refreshing to see someone telling it like it is, and not just jumping on the band wagon and cashing in.

I can’t really comment on troops themselves, but, like everyone is saying, war IS moving back and I don’t see how it could be any other way. Especially pre-emptive war like now. Fighting is only justified if you are attacked, and to be honest no COUNTRY has attacked America since - well, I don’t know cause I’m Canadian lol. The war in Iraq is the equivalent of a swedish dude bombing shanghai and then two years later China launches a war on the US to stop it from happening again

I like his acting. I think heâ€™s very talented and shows enormous promise.

Iâ€™d probably rip on him until he cried if I heard him waxing cocky like that at some hipster party.

Ack, I misspelled “there”

Anyway, Hunter. Stop writing these stupid posts. Everything he said is what an intelligent person would say. You come off as an idiot with posts like these.

even if he’s a bit of a douche, he’s mostly ‘right.’ he did do some good work in rhinoceros eyes, an indy canadian gem. look for it.

(i haven’t seen funny games. i will not kiss his ass if i hate it. so he is wrong there.)

I also agree with him. I’m more of a Lawrence of Arabia guy, the Saw franchise is simply commercial crap, and war IS moving backwards: you’re not evolving as a human being, you’re regressing.

Although I’m not a fan of the Saw series, why does he criticize those who will not like his film, as if it’s HIS film? It’s a shot-for-shot remake, man. That’s like me making, no that’s exactly like me making a translation of a book in spanish, and calling it “my” book.

Um, he’s right…

War IS moving backwards. How can anybody think the opposite? War does nothing but destroy entire regions, disintegrate societies into a shell of their former selves, and almost all soldiers are just mindless killing machines with no will of their own. To fight for a government and it’s supporting bankers is akin to volunteering your mind, body and soul into suicide. Their is no honor there, only deception.
