DON'T COME BACK Robert Altman

MAKING "Gosford Park" in England seems to have turned Robert Altman against the United States. "When I see an American flag flying, it's a joke," he fumed to the Times of London yesterday. "This present government in America I just find disgusting, the idea that George Bush could run a baseball team successfully - he can't even speak! I just find him an embarrassment." Altman's feeling is so strong, he's thinking of moving to London for good. "I'd be very happy to stay here," he tells the paper. "There's nothing in America that I would miss at all."

Is he someone important or just in need of publicity?

Altman is, or at least has been, a very talented movie director (e.g. McCabe and Mrs. Miller, and I think the original MASH - I'm not certain about MASH).

He is also, like 99% of Hollywood IMHO a total political idiot.
