So now Spielberg is a Stalinist? The Indy films are some of the most blatantly pro American heroism films ever made.

Snicker. The Indy Jones films show more Nazi flags than American flags.

Indiana Jones is an American heroic type, modelled on Doc Savage and other pulp adventurers. He's fighting the Nazis. the threat is never minimized. Hence all the flags.

You are correct.

"Snicker. The Indy Jones films show more Nazi flags than American flags."

Sooo, you're implying that the Raiders series is pro-Nazi?

Interesting theory. Insane,asinine,divorced from reality...but interesting.

I'll agree with a previous poster that the removal of guns from ET was a travesty, along the lines of Greedo shooting first.

And I have no illusions, about Spielberg's politics...he's a dyed in the wool liberal. Most "artistic" types are. Oh well, can't win 'em all. But the guy does (or at least did) make great movies.

Here's an idea: before we get all pissy about a film that no one has even SEEN yet,based on one column, let's all take a deep breath and wait for the damn thing to come out and read someone like Michael Medved's review.
