Back in 1996 Roland Emmerich made the film "Independence Day", with such memorable scenes such as the one of Bill Pullman saying "This is our Independence Day!" One might think that this is a pro- American film. As a child at the time and not knowing any better, I, like many others thought so. I also thought it was a good movie and had no qualms about Emmerich's directing. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Not only is Roland Emmerich a hack, he might be the most anti-american filmmaker since Michael Moore and Leni Riefenstahl. Look at the evidence: He's German. In 1995 he blew up the White House. In 2004 he froze over the Statue of Liberty. Now in his next movie, 2012, he has the Capitol building substituting as a bowling ball and has Air Force One chopping the Washington monument in half! The man's favorite activity is destroying American icons. Sure he made Independence Day but that film was really about the earth's independence from evil aliens. Sure he made "The Patriot" but I am sure he just needed a paycheck by then. But we need to send a message to Hollywood. We don't like seeing bad movies, especially when they show the destruction of our country. So whatever you do, don't see 2012. Be a Patriot! If it is a big enough of a bust for the investors we just may get rid of Emmerich!
P.S.- I bet that Sprint cellphone ad where that pompous director is trying to blow up Mt. Rushmore is a parody on Emmerich! Robots from space blowing a historical site? Sounds like Emmerich to me!
