I wouldn't go that far but the film, MUNICH, certainly deserves ridicule and rejection.

I was reading earlier that Spielberg is said to have been afraid to appear having made a film that didn't support Israel and so tried to cover all perspectives to a point of irrelevant relativism BUT what that "fear" indicates to me is that he was aware he was, in fact, making a film that didn't support Israel and was trying to still maintain popularity despite it.

Like saying, "I'm not REALLY doing (whatever objectionable/wrong)" while continuing to be observed doing it.

Fox aired a recorded interview with him this morning. He was backpedaling rather briskly and not being very convincing.

His attempt at appeasement resulted in a film which satisfies nobody. Better that he took a stand.

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
