*Drum roll *

And now ... Episode 234,394,044 in the continuing human saga ...

Religionists are F'in Narrow-Minded Mental Midgets Who Can't Tell The Difference Between Fantasy and Reality!

*Cue Star Wars theme (or should that be the Matrix theme?)*

Have to agree... I was so disappointed. Seems like they just decided to have a lot of action and not much plot in this one. I got especially bored with the whole neo vs. multiple agent smiths in the park thing. I mean come on... it was old after 5 min.

I'm hoping that the plot will be more obvious when the next part comes out.

Knowing almost nothing about Egypt (beyond ancient history), I was fairly impartial to it, but after this, my opinion-meter-of-doom or whatever is now down a notch.

Egypt is really only good for two things:
Beggars and beggars.

Not like anyone could have gone to see the movie anyway.

Heheh. I couldn't decide whether this story went here or in CSS&SA so I put it there yesterday.

Probably a mod should nix my thread there, because two of the four posts there pertain to the media aspects of the movie, rather than the Separation/Political aspects of Egypt's ban.

PROTIP: ALLCAPS and deliberate mispelling tend to correlate with sarcasm. For good reason.

I'm told the movie is confusing.
Apparently Egyptian reviewers are much smarter than Americans, if they can see through all this confusion to catch these undertones that American viewers are missing....

I'm sure there are a lot of movies that Ashcroft would ban if he only had the chance...
