One of the ironies of leftist kookery is that they constantly make excuses for the Islamic terrorists by claiming that their grievances against America and/or Israel are legitimate, but would never even consider that they might not appreciate their kids being exposed to the toxic waste being spread worldwide by the sickos in Hollywierd.
I don't know that much about the movie, but it will probably do well in Western Europe.
Also, I'd remind you of two fairly interesting facts:
A)Movies, video games, music -- pop culture -- remain one of America's strongest exports. And about the only thing that can't be completely outsourced to China.
B)The movie industry is largely a blue collar industry. You just don't see the blue collars at the premiers and Academy Awards.
