Since when is it pretentious to say the US government is retarded? People say it here every day, and more people think it. He's an actor, it's not his job to be a politician, but anyone of reasonable intelligence should have the right to criticize politicians. Whether or not we know how to do their job, we as their constituents or even just as bystanders (like Johnny Depp) can tell by the effects of their actions whether they are doing it right or not.
Guess what, dude. Once Upon a Time is a movie. He's not talking about violence in movies, he's talking about dangerous government. What's French for ignorant?
EDIT: this is what I get for getting up to take a piss in the middle of typing a post.
