    This stuff is so tiresome

    This whole "America hates itself" line is tiresome. With the exception of Marion Cotilliard, American directors and producers hired non-American actors for American-made films. So what are we supposed to do, exclude them because they aren't American? I'm familiar with all three actors work over several years, and they are all fantastic actors. Period.
