Mayor of Rome Blacklists US Movies From Upcoming Film Festival

ROME -- Di Caprio, Clooney, Kidman, avanti!  ("Pointless photo ops," mayor Gianni Alemanno says.)

"Rome's 'Duce' to freeze out US film stars... the new mayor... has launched a campaign to promote Italian films at the expense of those featuring Hollywood stars such as Nicole Kidman and Leonardo Di Caprio, who are to be blacklisted”.

The far-left London Sunday Times has labeled Rome's new mayor “a former fascist”.  Some researchers have actually timed how long it takes a leftist to label anyone they disagree with as a Nazi.  A whole metric has been developed.   

The Times didn't specify whether they also thought Daffy Duck was Hitler's new identity.

The center-right newspaper Corriere Della Sera thinks it's funny.  So do I.  I find myself liking Gianni Alemanno.

Pro Patria and Viva La Festa del Cinema Roma!
