Midwesterners in this country are pretty friendly (and educated) as well...I am wondering if you think every tv show and movie that has portrayed them all all simple farmers and uneducated hicks should be "corrected"?  i now live in New York, and TV and movies represent New York as a violent place with drug-crazed and ...more

Always good to see that we (the US) don't corner the market in rediculous things to be pissed about.  I have seen the movie twice.  If you had asked me if New Zealand was even mentioned in the film, I would have said NO.  That is how little of an impression that made.  And they are worried about how the "millions" will...more
