To carry the conversation from the other thread back to here, I don't care who misread whose post in this matter. In everything I've read, it's been you, Italiano, not Taki, that has been behaving immaturely and like a child.

Be careful with the interactions...taki15 wrote:I guess it's that time of the month.
Otherwise I recomend Zyprexa 5, along with 3mg of Lexotanil every 12 hours. You will feel a lot better.
Actually thank God Marco is a smart guy (and actually, anybody in this board sufficiently enough) to not consider this as a serious advice. He doesn't need it... and in case you were meaking a "clever" punch-line (which obviously, I hope, it was) this delicate products should never be mentioned in such light manner. People die every day because of misuse of this drugs, not only from overdose but actually from interactions. A benzodiazepine plus an atypical antipsychotic is a delicate combination

Somehow bad timing for this remark, on the year of Bashir.
Speaking of which, this was today in the paper here:
A boycott on Israeli products in Lebanon prevents the screening of Waltz with Bashir
The film Waltz with Bashir, about the massacre in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, wont be screened in Lebanon due to the boycott on Israeli products, said last Thursday the Lebanese minister of culture, Tarek Mitri. He added that "according to the Law, the film mustn't be shown in Lebanon".
Mitri, who objects this censorship, tried to reform this legislation, stating that "the ban on screening the film is absurd since it can be downloaded on the internet".
"This law should be abolished so we could see movies like this and other movies as well. If the Censorship Law is abolished, those who'll be offended will be able to appeal to court" said Mitri.
By the way Uri, I agree 100% with everything you have written. You put my thoughts on paper (or rather pixels) better than I would ever could.

I don't think I ever even said Goodbye Uncle Tom was anti-American. By positing a problem, one would have to presume a belief that it can be fixed.
I'm a fan of P&J, based on what I've seen so far. Given the option between clumsy, blunt but vital filmmaking and tasteful, inert but good-intentioned pap ... well, I guess I don't need to tell anyone what I prefer.

No, really, anti-Americanism doesn't need to be crazy or furious (not to mention, of course, gross or sensationalistic like probably it is in this movie). It can be balanced and very effective.
But I will see this movie. The dynamic duo Jacopetti-Prosperi is (in)famous in Italy as creator of highly profitable, politically-oriented (which back then was good for the box-office), trashy pseudo-documentaries (one was even Oscar-nominated). Seen today, they are still terrible, but in some ways quite interesting.

As this taki person would say: indeed.Uri wrote:It is a trend, a mighty one even, but this is the way Hollywood has been – picking a trend then beating it to death. One is allowed to question this trend, even mock it.
And I'd love to see an Obamaesque new era in Hollywood. It's time for Slavery to be explored. Historical and modern colonialism and imperialism - let these be the new trends indeed.
