Idiocy on Film

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Tuesday, September 11. 2007 21:34
I'm not even going to give this a chance. We've had nothing but post-modern whinging on the silver screen for the past 15 years, and the world has gotten not a whit more peaceful.

A Palestinian suicide bomber is the unlikely star of a new Israeli film billed by its director as an effort to destroy prejudices that fuel conflict in the Middle East. Picture taken April 25, 2007.

By the way, if the director were so interested in fighting "prejudice," why isn't he filming inside the Gaza Strip? Wouldn't that do more to "break down" the barriers (or whatever pablum the Left is using these days) than filming in the completely safe Tel Aviv?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Hmm.. another Cannes Film Award Winner I imagine.

Have you noticed, as I am sure you have Brian as you are such a smarty, that American films are "it" for the global movie industry. You never hear of a French or Russian or Saudi film making kazillions of dollars globally like our Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, or... heh.. whatever film you can name. Our films circle the globe in film and dvd. Rarely ever see a foreign film making a global statement/impact.
