So, I'm sitting here wondering, "how many screenwriters are at home today, rewriting screenplays to change the villain from a renegade Taliban soldier to a renegade Iraqi soldier?" (Golan and Globus would have been all over this).
Let me predict the plot of the next James Bond movie:
A former member of the Iraqi regime escapes with a cache of chemical weapons . . .
It's inevitable.

How about a movie where a renegade terrorist kidnaps a young girl he has become obsessed with from her bedroom in the dead of night. They then wander around America, he showing her our decadent, imperialist lifestyle in between pseudo-rape scenes and setting up his diabolical plot. Slowly the girl comes to love him and, because she sees him as the noble warrior he is, SHE carries out the suicide bombing for him, thus allowing him to continue his noble cause.
The movie ends with him selecting another 'willing' victim.
Wow, I managed to gather up Elizabeth Smart, Patty Hearst, and Terrorism in the same leftist movie.
I need an agent!
Hasn't that sort of been made already with Jean Reno?

That would be The Professional, right?
Dang, burst my bubble right quick, and here I was reading my Oscar (or would it be Razzie?) acceptance speech!

No, it's just the plot of the next OPERATION DELTA FORCE movie.
ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES was a strange one. Ever see it? The giant leeches are to funny looking.
Actually, The Professional was about a girl from a troubled home whose drug-dealing and prostituting parents were killed by corrupt police, so she then moves in with an assassin (that refuses to kill women or children) that lives down the hallway in the apartment building.
We can't forget the biggest movie industry leech of all.
