#3 Yah, "opinion" might be a better spot than "short attention span."

I forgot about "Red Dawn." And a little search tells me that that will be remade next year. I don't trust Hollywood. Leftists want an excuse to equate American opinion on occupation ethics, with that of Taliban/al-Qaeda.

So expect to see American rebels planting IEDs, etc. But don't think that these films are apolitical.

I only watched "V" to see "Diana," the shapeliest and most evil Reptilian, eating rodents. It was cool watercooler talk, back then. Check Youtube for the Twilight Zone classic, "To Serve Man." Spoiler: "It's a Cook Book."

#4 Totally agree with the commentary on the side. There was a Star Trek Next Gen Episode in which a terrorist said the only difference between a terrorist and folks like George Washington is between winners and losers and who writes the history books. Well history books can white-wash a terrorist of course but George Washington never targeted civilians.

#5 If Hollywood behaves as expected, in the remake of Red Dawn, the Commies will be the good guys.

#6 

I am Dr. Julie Parrish, and I call shenanigans.

We were an insurgency, not terrorists. We only blew up lizards and their enablers.
But we did use biological warfare against them. Sorry about that.

#7 Damon Knight, author of “How to Serve Man,” should have sued.
