Moviegoing Turks meet new enemy, and it is U.S.

Maybe we should continue supporting Turkeys entry into the EU. The Euros don't want Turkey (understandably) and by continuing to support them, we are poking the Euros in the eye. If the Euros did let them in, then we would be punishing them both. Seems like a win - win situation.

Sigh - I suppose there would be a huge drawback to Turkeys admission - Islamists would get their hands on a lot of Nukes once they take over Europe.

Seems like I recall they wouldn't let us use their country when we wanted to invade Iraq. And now this. With "allies" like this, who needs enemies.

Amazing :(

[Porterville]

Jihad!!!

May I take this opportunity to call for Jihad to liberate Istanbul from Muslim hands.

The Islamofacists have already shown us how to show our outrage concerning this movie. All we have to do is start a few riots, start burning down Mosques, Islamic Country embassies, and start attacking citizens from Islamic countries. We can show them a cartoon ain't nothing like a full blown movie.

Gary Busey I know is utterly fried, but somehow I thought maybe, just maybe, Billy Zane would have better sense.

Let's see ~ movies set in Turkey where evil stuff happens in jail?

"Midnight Express" leaps to mind. There's "Prison Heat".

Best story I ever heard about Turkey's jail system was that when hookers are caught they put them into a special section in the jail that allows them to "work off their fines" through prostitution.

I've never laughed so hard in my life ~

Thank You Gary Busey you buck toothed no motorcycle riding POS.

[A CA Guy]

I find that film offensive, so when can we riot in their town?

Oh wait, I am not part of the Islamic cult and I don't riot or kill over nothing.

Zane and Busy are both pukes, IMO. They both need to have their citizenship revoked and sent to some third world sh*thole, like Turkey, LOL.

[America's Resolve]

Don't you mean Constantinople?

:)

[EveningStar]

Same article, different title.

[Hilltop]

"Ruthless Marines killing Iraqis." And, what is wrong with that?

As for Gary what's his name, he probably was paid with a gift certificate to a local hummus buffet.

[VadeRetro]

Zane said he was not bothered by the movie's anti-American tone, adding that the horrors of war should be exposed.

Was there an actor named Billy Zane?

[Ghengis]

How far down must your acting career have gone and how badly must you hate your own country to work in this bucket of crap?

Busey and Zane are beneath contempt.

[x5452]

Yes by golly I do. High time it was liberated from heretics!

[laconic]

I assume that both Zane's and Busey's careers were way down on the skids before they agreed to take money for this garbage.

[Travis McGee]

Zane and Busey are traitors who should be spat upon on sight.

They are no better than traitors who would have made anti-American propaganda films for Hitler or Tojo during WW2.

Wrote off Turkey years ago. Lost cause. We really need to stop sending aid there of any kind.
