Just what I need. I live 2 blocks from two mosques and surrounded by muslims.

Radicalisation of UK mosques by Saudi Wahabbism

You should gather some of the literature those mosques are giving out and see what it says.

And hey, I thought the ‘it’s not our problem’ quote summed up quite nicely the attitude of waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many people

If you think the comedy writing on the Half Hours News Hour is bad, check this out

I certainly hope they never stoop to anything that lame.

Volatile combo of claustrophobic suspense and topical concerns could propel pic to limited commercial success in specialized arenas.

in other words, everyone will hate it or sleep through it. liberal test-screeners will giive it impossibly high marks, but in actual release will wait for it to come out on dvd.

…becomes borderline ludicrous in the second half, as Terry forces a violent confrontation that will have any rational viewer rooting for the alleged terrorist. That’s the effect Renfroe is after, anyway…

all the rest of the reviews are going aggressively for the olberman demo:

…a thinking person’s thriller…

…taps into our current national paranoia about terrorism…

you get the picture.

What terror looks like?

I played it without sound and it looked like he was the hero.

hey, what are you going to do? there were some idiot young republicans i spoke with who thought v for vengance was a conservative-friendly movie. the fact is that many conservatives are completely illiterate, so maybe i shouldn’t be so smug about the “twist”.

He is just our neighbor and it is not our problem.

Yeah, because you know, the “regular guys” on those airplanes were just harmless.

That is so ME!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of movie reviews, here’s the money quote from one of the reviews of Civic Duty:

But if we can take home one message, it’s this: America is responsible for the antagonism targeting it before and after 9/11; and the victim of this whole tragedy is the average, ignorant American, whose complacence and apathy vis-à-vis the rest of the world has cost him a hefty price.

Yep, now I’m really glad that I didn’t click on the link to give iFilm the hits.

You can’t have any other kind.

Kinda looks like a rip off of Arlington Road with Muslims added just to make it provocative.

A little, but at least with Arlington Road… well, I was about to write in the spoiler, but let me just say that I imagine the twist is a much better one.

Krause, best known for HBO’s “Six Feet Under,” blends varying degrees of cockiness, stubbornness, obsessive paranoia, extreme sarcasm and (least attractive of all) self-pity in a blistering turn that seems deliberately determined to repel the viewer’s sympathy.

So, it sounds like he is playing the Hollywood version of a “Wignut.” I’m sure some well-informed Liberals will view this together on a Saturday night then have a thoughtful roundtable discussion (with wine & cheese) on BushCo, evil Wignuts and dangerous neocon white males.

…and featuring JaHerer22 as the Chimpy voice.
