The play would have flopped like a pancake.

[Junior_G]

I didn't know Alan Rickman was a nutjob.

...when Palistinians are killed by bulldozers it's a crime and worthy of a stage play.

When Americans are killed by jets flying into buildings it's cause we deserve it and isn't worth mentioning.

[Gay State Conservative]

Call me stupid,but I tend to step aside when I see a 20 ton bulldozer heading my way.

But that's just me.

[ncountylee]

Remember the story about her parents having to flee to Israel because the palis had threatened them? LOL

[butternut_squash_bisque]

"...the story of Rachel Corrie, an idealistic American demonstrator and Palestinian-rights activist..."

"...the story of Rachel Corrie, an idealistic idiotic American demonstrator and Palestinian-rights activist asswipe..."

There; that's more accurate.

If they want to present it as a fantasy, why not fictionalize the character, rather than saying it's a story about Rachel Corrie and then claiming not to take a political view on the subject?

Comedy? Irony? Tragedy? Just send me the Cliffnote version instead.

[GSWarrior]

I heard the performances were a little flat.

Brief translation of the article:

London is more antisemitic than New York.

I heard the performances were a little flat.

Two-dimensional, in fact.

[L98Fiero]

"London is more antisemitic than New York."

That's what I got from the article.

"The play was written by the actor Alan Rickman"

I used to like Alan Rickman and some of his work.

Now he's just another anti-semitic, anti-American leftist scum actor to cross off of my list of actors and "celebrities" who work I will patronize.

Maybe if enough of us stop going to the movies and putting our money down, they might start to get the message to keep their fatuous, suicidial pseudo political thoughts and rantings to themselves.

Wow, I guess the lack of interest from the general public has slowed production to the speed of a caterpillar.
