and that one on what he doesn't like about america (the national anthem, the patriotism) which seems pretty risky to offend...
I mean I kind of understand him being miffed about American bonbastic celebration off their independence, considering he IS british...

but still no reason, if he does thinks as such and is not the reporter assuming things, to look down on america for their anthem and their patriotism...
I mean All teams sing their national anthems at the world cup- i think even england.

and dont the english still do the "Save the queen!" speech?

i dont know, while he has been more than open about a lot of things that bother him, it seems.... extreme and unlike him that he would criticize something so close to the hearts of Many of the people he lived with for the past year.

I have to admit, out of all the interviews he's done to promote Woman in Black (and God knows I've been keeping track), the Esquire feature was the one that kind of left me half-wondering if I should bother posting it - not because he swears in it (he does that all the time), but because of how offensive some of those anti-American comments came across. A part of me wondered if the reporter didn't lead Dan to openly rant the way he did, twist some of his words (not the direct quotes), or if there was a particular trigger for his comments. It was an uneasy thing to read, I gotta admit, but I suppose he - like everyone - is entitled to his (somewhat pretentious) opinion.
