has anybody seen the 20th james bond trailer yet? i really like bond movies i've seen everyone at least 4 times but brosnans getting a little too old and the world is not enough really sucked old panties. It looks ok but it kinda seems over the top with the lazers and ice palace and all that jazz. Oh well brosnans image and voice are being used in the Nightfire video game so thats kinda like another movie, it looks really cool you should download the trailer for that if you have not seen it yet. i think halo 2 and fistful of boomstick and vice city are gonna kick ass too. i dont really know where i veared off cousre but bond is back for a least 1 more after this movie and then who know maybe they will let me play bond, who knows?
I kind of lost interest in Bond after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and now Hollywood won't use Muslim extremists in its place (I'm looking at you Tom Clancy).
Did Clancy cause that bit of P.C. tripe,( What ,Arab Terrorist? Eeeak!) or can Hollywood be to blame?
Hollywood. Apparently Clancy was upset they changed it, but his hefty paycheck eased his nerves. I want to see another '80s-style actioner, with our hero blowing away row after row of faceless Arab terrorists, but we can't do that, now can we? It's like Arab terrorists DID attack America, so now suggesting Arab terrorists MIGHT attack America is wrong. Huh?
>It's like Arab terrorists DID attack America, so now suggesting Arab terrorists
>MIGHT attack America is wrong. Huh?
No, Arab terrorists attacked America, so now we can't have any negative portrayals of Arabs because it would reinforce the idea that all Arabs are terrorists. We must show them in as positive a light as possible. Like the school I read about that started a program where all the little kids would become muslims for the length of the program, take on muslim names etc. I can't help wondering why they weren't teaching them to field strip AK-47s and build car bombs...
how did this turn polictical
Everyone knows there are good Arabs and bad Arabs, and anyone who believes all of them are bad because they saw it in a movie is an idiot who deserves to get the crap kicked out of them by any Arab they mess with.
My point is-
STOP SANITIZING MOVIES AND TELEVISION TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT!!!!!!!!! I like my entertainment offensive and completely socially irresponsible.

Very much agree. Like Mom allways said, "Don't believe everything you see on TV." The same can be said for movies.

I'll toast to that! *Raises mug*
Hear, hear. Why not just make a part for a "good" Arab, helping to fight the bad ones, rather than sanitizing. Nah, that might make sense.
Conciter this.
There are Muslim kids being taught to hate America, and they are American kids. Interviews with some Muslim kids have shown such attitudes. Also, some do not have this attitude. Its the parents fault when kids get bad ideas, and feelings about people "Not like us".
....Its a sad trait of the human race. It is also a fact that has to be dealt with. Those Arabs that want peace are stiffeled by the killers. A peace seeking Palistinian is a dead Palistinian. By the hand of the insane among his people. Find the killers, remove them, by what ever way works, and hope the peace seekers can come out and live free lives.
....Political Correctness is a refusal to face the complexitys of human beings.
....Its an easy way out. As John Leo said in a recent collum, The problim with "Liberals" is the desire to demonise objects (Guns, for example), rather then accept the fact of Responsable human agency. Its a Materialistic mind set.
....But, people are far more complex then mere machines or objects, like money.
....Being liberal or conservitive is bad, when it forgets that essencial truth.
....Human is human. But, not all humans are identical in every single trait. If that were so...why whould we be here, writeing about the flaws of cinema?
I used to like the Bond films but lately I've become less interested in them, and haven't even bothered watching Tommorow Never Dies and the world is not enough. But who knows, this one may be very good but I'll just wait and see...
I love "Tommorrow Never Dies"! Kick ass action, and the way it takes jabs at the media. It doesn't hurt that a babe like Michele Yeoh is in it, RAR!!!
YEAH! BABY YEAH! hahaammhm

By the same token, I don't I don't agree with all the positive Arab/Muslim hype. Yes, not all of them are our enemies, but a good percentage of them ARE hate-filled psychos who'd like nothing better than to slit the throat of every American. If schools are going to run programs promoting the muslim religion as good and peaceful, I think they should also be required to show the kids a copy of the Daniel Pearl video where he gets his throat cut and his head cut off, then ask them if they still want to participate in the 'become a muslim for a month' program.

They did, it was called The Siege. Tony Shalhoub played the good Arab.
>Interviews with some Muslim kids have shown such attitudes.
There was an article in Reader's Digest a few months back where the author spent some time in a 'school' in a middle east country (don't remember which one). The kids weren't taught any of the normal subjects, the only lessons they learned were twisted interpretations of the Koran taught to them by hardcore zealots. While the kids weren't really hostile to the writer, he said they thought it was fun to jump out from behind trees and other objects and pretend to shoot him.
i saw that video man it was @#$!ed up, damn arabs, if you want to see it too its at ogrish.com
