Oh if only it were true.. I live in NYC and have run across the she beast on several occasions, and it was like Brando in Apocalypse now, "The horror..The horror..The sheer horror" The best was when I couldn`t walk down this one street one time, they had the street and sidewalks blocked off and I thought some sick accident had happened, until I learned it was the she beast simply getting into her limo. I mean why not just get into the freggin` limo, close the freggin` door and drive away? No, it needs the streets blocked off in midtown Manhattan, probably because they couldn`t shove its fat head and azz through the door.
many of us lost some naivete in the last few years.
Oh, no problem - they'd just depict the early life of Mohammed Atta and try to build sympathy for him as a victim of a poor upbringing.
bttt
You are probably right-despite the fact that Atta wasn't poor; I'm sure some hollywood slimeball would find an angle.
Movies like “True Lies” (1994), “Executive Decision” (1996) and “Rules of Engagement” (2000) have drawn criticism from groups like the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (www.adc.org).
Pudgy, balding, middle-aged David Suchet as "Nagi Hassan" in Executive Decision will always be the all-time scariest A-rab movie villain in my book.
What was the movie a few years ago where muslims on an airplane were carrying some kind of bio plague and ended up shooting the pilots? Kurt Russell was in it, and Steven Seagal was too for about five minutes. Haven't seen that one lately either.
That was also Executive Decision and I thought it rocked. Over on IMDB.com everyone thought the best part was Steven Seagal getting offed early in the flick. Kurt Russell, Halle Berry, and Oliver Platt saving the day as reluctant heroes. John LeGuizamo did fine as one of the gung-ho soldiers. For a comedian, LeGuizamo always does a great job when he's not doing comedy.
Let's not forget the Man in the Iron Mask, with dueling Leo's playing French brothers; no accent, no regional dialect from the 18th century..no, changed my mind, let's DO forget it.
Yeah, Beau Bridges did a much better take on the story in the 1978 version The Fifth Musketeer with Cornel Wilde, Alan Hale, Lloyd Bridges and Jose Ferrer as the aging musketeers brought out of retirement to save their young friend and rightful sovereign. Not to mention europorn star Sylvia Kristel as Maria Therese the Infanta of Spain. An approved rouser all round.
LOL... I'm SO glad you have crossed to the dark side... libs have no clue that you can not reason with a someone who believes their god commands them to kill you. Sometimes, the only option is to kill the latter before they have the chance to kill you.
