Whatever they are, this looks like the usual pinko-lefty paranoid propaganda to me.

Reminds me of that movie adaptation of Tom Clancy's novel, the Sum of all Fears. Of course, the terrorists, realistically, even presciently depicted in Clancy's novel, get transmuted in the Hollywood version into the farcical neo-nazi aryan bugaboo -- the nec plus ultra, sum of all make-believe fears of Tinsel Town. To laugh, or to cry? Nahh, pass the ouzo.

You think the market provides any indication of the quality of a movie ?

I want to subsidize what I want to subsidize.

There is much danger in that... particularly that views that disturb the status quo will have a hard time finding an audience.

There is more danger in upsetting the status quo than in leaving things be. Isn't this your Big Idea of the Middle East.
