Has anyone seen Bob Dylan's movie "Masked and Anonymous"?

If so, do you think he was envisioning a Post PO America?

I saw that. Trippy 60's retro flick about Dylan doing a benefit concert in some South American banana Republic. Lots of cameos by everybody in Hollywood. I didn't see anything in it to suggest PO. Militiristic coups as an idea have been around for a long time, more likely the intent here was to make the US out to be crypto fascists or something. (Mickey Rourke makes a good Tyrant, John Goodman and Jessica Lange as seedy concert promoters, Jeff Bridges is the obnoxious Reporter)

Jeff Bridges as the Obnoxious Reporter was funny: 'so what was Hendrix's trip? what was he trying to say to us? and Joplin, wow, the whole sixties man, you were there, what was that all about? Why didn't you do Woodstock? All those people in the rain on acid, man, why weren't you there? blah blah.' Dylan never says anything and Bridges just runs on and on about the sixties.
