Paul Haggis

I didn't like Crash. Everyone in it shows their depth of emotion in exactly the same way, by shouting the same obscenities over and over.

Police arrest a fellow. They yell, "PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS UP!" Later, an off-duty cop orders a man to get out of his car: "GET OUT OF MY FUCKING CAR!"

A woman yells at her husband that the Latino workman repairing something in their home is a criminal even though the guy is right there in the next room and can hear everything she's bellowing.

Later, a gun store owners tells a customer, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY STORE!"

The nice, non-racist cop kills an unarmed man and plants a gun on him to make it look like self-defense, thus learning that maybe corrupt, murderous racist cops aren't so bad.

I'm amazed that people took that movie seriously.

Now Haggis, the Canadian ex-Scientologist who wrote and directed the movie, is being sued by a woman who claims he raped her. He denies it and he sued her back. He has also suggested that he's being targeted by the "Church" of Scientology and this may be what's behind the accusations.
