Hummm...fair enough. Also, Nev, thanks for teaching me a new word. It certianly applys to Chuck Norris. When he walks by an acting school, the teachers must point out the window and shout, "Tim-bur!". You'd think he'd fear termites. I can see the reason for annoiance at too broad a brush on the Good guys/bad guys thing. While some individuals could be painted so, if for no other reason, the total effect they have of civilisation, most people are a mix of good and bad traits. My Mirror reminds me of that every day. As i've been watching Gundam 0083 on Adult Swim, i can appreciate the working in the human qualites of the villians. Its amazing how understandable the character of Gato is. His pride and arrogance have led him to a path that leads to a bloody war. Yet, his basic motives are comprehencible. Corse, that defines most of mans history, eh?

 Not true! In Not Without My Daughter they were shown basically kidnapping a woman and her daughter! Oh, and in Three Kings, many of them were falling over over themselves to surrender to the US soldiers.

>The switch from Arab terrorists to Nazis is interesting. Anybody know the
>reasoning behind this?

 Because it's been deemed politically incorrect to acknowledge the truth; that the vast majority of terrorists plotting against America are from the middle east.

 We're not supposed to acknowledge the fact that something like 90% of the people in the middle east hate the US with a passion, that most Muslim children are taunt from birth that the US is evil incarnate and that the only education most children are given is a twisted interpretation of the Koran and lessons in how to build car bombs.

Gaaaah! Neville makes good points (in spite of the triple-post); I find many of these same features in the godawful crap pooped out by Clive Cussler on a regular basis. The idiotic scenes in Dragon in which an American admiral and a Japanese supervillain scream at each other about porn, child molesters, school bullies, rapists and subway gropers--as if these were all exclusively Japanese--made me huck the thing in the trash where it belonged. I was so happy that the movie version of Raise The Titanic! was such a complete and awesome screw-up; it probably cost Cussler potential readers.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
