So beautiful, so dumb
Posted by pete at March 2, 2008 10:58 PMIt's how Alfred Hitchcock once described Ingrid Bergman, and it also apparently applies to the most recent Best Actress winner Marion Cotillard (via The Fat Guy):
Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard is facing criticism after footage of her apparently questioning the 9/11 attacks surfaced on the internet.
In an interview she reportedly gave a year ago, the star is shown commenting on the events of 11 September 2001.
"I think we're lied to about a number of things," the Paris-born 32-year-old is seen saying in French.
[...]
In the interview, given to French TV show Paris Premiere, Cotillard appears to suggest the attacks on the World Trade Center were staged to avoid the expense of refurbishing them."We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes, are they burned?" she asks. "There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours.
"It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."
The Twin Towers, she claims, were a "money sucker" that would have cost much more to modernise than to destroy.
She can at least take comfort in the fact that she didn't blame "the Jews" for the collapse.
Cotillard joins APCB favorite Willie Nelson, who also recently - and regrettably - appears to have imbibed the "9/11 Truth Movement" Kool-Aid.
And she didn't stop there...
The actress goes on to cast doubt on the Moon landing of 1969. "Did a man really walk on the moon?" she asks.
"I saw plenty of documentaries on it and I really wondered. In any case I don't believe all they tell me."
Where'd I put that picture...? Ah yes:
Well Pete, it’s like Grandpa used to say, “the French they are a funny race, they fight with their feet and fuck with their face”.
Actually she is pretty much blaming the Jews. The owner of the World Trade Center complex was Larry Silverstein. If you google his name you can come up with a link to a “Ziopedia” article (all there is to know about Zionism) that pretty much asserts the same theory that Ms. Cotillard espoused.
She’s blaming “A” jew then, Antinome…c’mon.
And Pete….you’re saying you absolutely, totally believe the governments interpretation of the 9/11 attack? Is this because you like UNITED 93 so much?
I believe, as with all that is evil in the world, that Barry Bonds was behind the WTC collapse.
Barry….SMASH!!
Nice to see another #1 Citizen on the Cardinals (Spezio) do more damage to others than Barry Bonds ever has, by the way.
Jesus, you’re too easy. The tides are less predictable than your knee-jerk leap to the guy’s defense.
Uh Don, I am not going to link them but if you google Larry Silverstein and Zionism you will get any number of sites espousing that Silverstein with help of Israeli Mossad etc was responsible and did it for the money. Thats “blaming the Jews,” pretty typical international Jewish conspiracy BS actually.
I thought G.W. Bush’s brother had some kind of insurance policy on the WTC? I doubt Cotillard is in on some Jewish conspiracy theory. Who knows.
Way to ignore the fact that the Cards are scummy, Pete.
Way to ignore the fact that the Cards are scummy, Pete.
Way to ignore my repeatedly telling you, over the course of the last few years, that I don’t give a shit. They aren’t my kid’s babysitters, I don’t care about their personal lives. You can project your irrational Barry-fetishism all you want. It won’t wash.
You’re just pissed because Spiezio’s the guy who stuck the first fork in San Francisco in Game 6 of the ‘02 Series.
I wish the Giants would sign Spezio, actually. We have NO 3B and he might liven things up around here. Hell, at least I’d have a drinking buddy. What’s LaRussa gonna do now that Speez got cut?
So she’s saying that the owners of the twin towers had the pilots fly into the building so that they could explode them so they wouldn’t have to pay to have them refurbished?
Surely this must have gotten mixed up in the translation.
Right?!
