MAVERICK director Larry Clark beat up the distributor for his movie "Ken Park" after the jerk declared that America deserved to get attacked on 9/11.
Clark, who helmed "Kids" and "Bully," delivered a brutal beat-down to Hamish McAlpine after the screwy Scotsman started spewing anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiments during dinner at London's posh Charlotte Street Hotel Thursday night.

An enraged Clark, 59, punched McAlpine several times in the face - breaking his nose - choked him, then overturned the dinner table on the bloodied big mouth.

Clark was arrested by London police - and now McAlpine is pulling "Ken Park" from the London Film Festival, where it was supposed to unspool tonight.

"He says he's not going to distribute the film now and he's pulling it from the film festival," Clark told us from London yesterday. "He can be mad at me for punching him in the nose, but don't take it out on 'Ken Park.' "

Clark said he lost it when McAlpine ranted that 9/11 "was the best thing that ever happened to America" and declared that innocent Israelis blown up by Palestnian suicide bombers "deserved to die."

"I was wrong," Clark said. "I shouldn't have punched him. I shouldn't have lost it. But at the same time, I wouldn't have been able to look myself in the mirror the next morning if I hadn't done anything. I'm not gonna let this [bleeping] idiot talk about supporting terrorism and the killing of innocent people. I am an American!"

Diners who witnessed the restaurant ruckus included "Ken Park" starlet Tiffany Limos, Clark's co-director, Edward Lachman, and Mel B of the Spice Girls, who was sitting at a nearby table. Clark said the police who arrested him were sympathetic. "The cops were very nice and they seemed to feel like they would have done the same thing," he told us. "They let me go with a ticket."

But "Ken Park" is sure to suffer a harsher fate than its hot-tempered helmer.

The controversial flick, which features lots of male and female full-frontal nudity and an explicit three-way sex scene, has yet to find a distributor in the U.S. Now, "Ken Park" may not be seen in the U.K.

The buzz surrounding "Ken Park" is similar to the chatter that accompanied the release of his debut "Kids," in 1995. The critically acclaimed flick featured a gang of Manhattan skater kids who spend their days brawling, doing drugs and having unprotected sex. It launched the careers of Chloe Sevigny and Rosario Dawson.

Invitees to tonight's aborted screening in London included director Steven Frears, designers Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney, Matthew Williamson and Bay Garnett.

I don’t want to condone punching every stupid twit who talks out of his ass in a hateful manner.... but I must admit knowing he got punched in his ignorant face is very satisfying. I will feel guilty for my pleasure after this satisfaction has faded. But for now (nelson voice) Ha Ha!!.

"I'm not gonna let this [bleeping] idiot talk about supporting terrorism and the killing of innocent people. I am an American!"

As I stated earlier: You're not an American, you're an over-emotional jackass.

He didn't stand up for the US, he stood up for men with few teeth and the stench of stale booze and cigarette smoke.

I would say its better a representation of the lack of patience a lot of Americans have for ignorant fuckwits who find pleasure in or are supportive of the murders of innocent people.

I'd say it's more of a representation of America's need to use violence to solve all its problems.

i'd figure that when a country can't go a decade without having another war that it's pretty inclined to use violence to solve its problems

Actually America doesn't use violence to solve its problems. Anyone can see that, because the problems are still there. What we do is use war to stave off our economic problems alone, because all we care about is money.

Go read up on "militarization of the economy."

And "military-industrial complex" while you're at it.

But keep in mind that we definately do not turn to violence to solve our problems.

Pulling the movie only made Clark's case IMO. It's one thing to make inflammatory comments and get a reaction as he did but to punish the entire crew of the movie for the reaction of the director shows how smallminded and vindictive he is.
With any luck, the movie will be picked up just to show McAlpine that he can't abuse his position as he did.

What’s that got to do with fair in response to someone making a broad generalization? A black guy pulled up next to me while I was walking to school, he was jacking off then tried to pull me into his car....is it ok if I say Black guys are perverts and would probably rape you if they had the chance? To be fair nothing...why is it ok to be ignorant and make sweeping accusations about certain people but not others? Fashion? Trend? Brainwashing? bah...makes me sick.

Huh?

*diverts misdirected rant*

You said that American's don't use violence to solve their problems. I said, of the American that punched the Scotsman in the face for making ignorant comments, that "this one sure did".

I just thought it was ironic, in the present context, is all.

Please don't hit me.
