This really ticks me off. When Hollywood is so bereft of ideas that it's remaking movies that were dogs decades ago, and there's so much riveting history to choose from, why do they do this? Why do both fact and fiction have to be distorted and butchered with all of this political spin? I guess I'll just stay home and watch Lawrence of Arabia...again.
Because they CAN'T do so much history because it's opposed to their agenda. About the fall of Soviet Communism? Not interesting, I guess, because there hasn't been so much as a miniseries about it. The Gulags? Ha! Never!
