I agree that given the racial feelings and resentment present, Tora x3 could have certainly came out as a much different film. As shrewgod notes, the fact that it both employed Japanese actors and tried to bring their perspective into the mix was most certainly a huge plus.

I've always been fascinated by films about WW2 in the decades that followed the war. Some are obviously propaganda (Longest Day). Others are nuanced propaganda (A Bridge Too Far, Tora Tora Tora). Others still (The Enemy Below) border on anti-war, at least for their time. I think these films have quietly informed…

Please tell me this isn't true.

What's the film industry term for a second trimester abortion? Could we do one of those instead?

Does anyone else like me do this thing where you are having a normal conversation with someone, and then they mention they want to see a movie like this, and you just go quiet and stare at them uncomfortably?

They should fire Cruise, Frasier, and the Mummy, and just do a movie with Rachel Weisz.

Not even the tip.

ALL FOUR Baldwins (five counting Adam) are alive and well. It just doesn't seem fair.

Well, better luck next year I guess. *sigh*

I'm not going to click any link with the words "Jimmy Fallon" on it. Whatever else happens this year, at least I'll have that going for me.

Somewhere out there today, the lead singer of Puddle Of Mudd just looked into a mirror and said, "You see? There's still hope."

Damnit monster! We work for our mediocre 90's pop offerings in this house!

"I had it all: a Grand Piano, sugar bowls filled with coke, ghosts, tits on demand. But after that concert, I was finished. I had to live the rest of my life playing 2nd Trumpet in some awful community college band just like every other sucker."

Signed!

On the plus side, we could find out Rey's metichlorian count, see Finn broker a trade deal, and watch Jar Jar's son win a pod race against a suspiciously asain sounding droid!

I don't care what Science says: If there's still garlic butter leftover after I'm done eating the pizza, chunks of the box are getting dipped and eaten just like they always have.

By "The Sting", I assume you refer to that beloved muscian, philosopher, and pop-icon?

I think we've all learned by now that we cannot STOP Michael Bay from making bad movies. Our only hope is to CONTAIN his ruination to 1-2 of our beloved childhood franchises. (And Tora, Tora, Tora)

Sounds like some sucker with no self-esteem.

Actual people applauded in the theater I was in at the END of Phantom Menace. Not saying the hype is wrong this time, but sometimes first impressions aren't the most accurate.
