Klaus Pierre: I Want to Stay (comedy)
Klaus Pierre, a French/German actor-waiter-whatever, aspires against all odds to become America's next great action hero. Today, in the final chapter of our observational documentary of this Hollywood hopeful, we witness his final challenge -- the American immigration system. His green card has run out, and that is a dilemma no amount of drop-kicks or ninja-punches can solve. Goodbye Klaus. Auf wiedersehn or whatever. Ciao. See you on the laptop screen.

Oh man - this guy is the essence of the perfect immigrant.
He's more American than those digerati poseurs dismissing him bemusingly from their lattes and laptops as just another envious tourist.
The USA needs to join the rest of the world for once.
I think he's developed an interesting character making the audience ( us ) wonder if Klaus Pierre is an idiot, a genius or a hardcore dreamer with no skills to be an action hero. His performance reminds me of Andy Kaufman's style.
I'm pretty sure green cards are unlimited, so I guess it was more like a tourist visa.
Arnaud Collery is a freakin' KING!
a hilarious casuality of the impossible american celluloid dream, [something strangely eurotrash about him despite being francokraut! intriguing].
we laugh because to not laugh means to acknowledge the horror of what america's cultural export to the rest of the world is, reflected back to us by the mirror that people like Klauns Pierre holds up to it.
an image of an infintely self-absorbed, arrogant fool with no qualms about selling what sliver of a soul has not been ravaged by the wolves of greed, ignorance and anger in exchange for a short blurb and a grainy photo in a tabloid.
ew
so for the meantime we can redirect that fear on to those funny fer-ners
-i mean foreigners-
[in the form of what some would call a snuff film considering how bad Klauns perishes in the american wasteland and how big of a boner it gives us to watch him do so,]
have a good laugh at their naive and impossibly silly attempts to breach the fortress of our "culture", even as (dcox) points out, Klauns is more frighteningly american than the americans that deride him,
and between guffaws, tell him to go back home. then we'll wipe the tears from our bleary laughy eyes, take a good look at the emptiness behind them, heath ledger ourselves to sleep and start the whole mess over again
(calls Klaus-the-waiter over and points @#5 R.Holdstein)
I'll have whatever he's having.
then again, douche baggery is pretty universal. even a cursory read of his website klauspierre.comreplete with incoherent ranting (in terms of ideas not english grammar) and a shrine to keanu is compelling reason enough to laugh at this sort of behavior. its all at once sad and beautiful.
the bboing corpus of klauns' alone is enough to vindicate him for 10,000 years
Somebody offer him a fat contract for god's sake.
He's like that animal in "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" at the restaurant at the end of the universe who actually wants to be eaten! Somehow in the USA we prefer our camera fodder blind to their own exploitation.
The irony is, he could get more money in Europe as the economy there is stronger, but the media-fed mythological undercurrents are not as attractive.

Last chapter?
Klaus, I will miss you.
Adieu Klaus, I will never forgot you.
Because of you I have not only learned how to follow my dreams, but you also taught me a few choice words to use in my French class. For all of this I thank you.
But there IS a second season in China, right?
I promise that, even if it had to be sponsored by Blackwater, I would NOT say a word!
you know the G men probably caught up with him because of Boing Boing, like the guy who had a bath in a Burger King kitchen sink.
