Your American Love of Violence is once again nnoted.

Do you think that violence is the only way to 'win an argument' ?

Isn't it the message of almost all US made movies?

Don't even get me started on US movies !!! What's the emoticon for steam
coming out of your ears ?

I don't know, but I'd be willing to bet you first saw the "steam
coming out of your ears" bit in an American movie,

I thought a new thread might be a good idea, so...

Graham, what's your problem with American movies?

Have you seen "Faces", "The Magus", "To Kill a Mockingbird", the
original "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", "The Day the Earth Stood
Still", "Bambi", "High Noon", "Dial 'M' for Murder", the deeply
troubling "I Want to Live" starring Susan Hayward, "Easy Rider",
Mr.888,

I could go on and on, but why don't you tell us what you don't like
about our movies, OK?

Eeyore does have a point. A lot of French movies are being remade in
Hollywood... Unfortunately, the originals are infinitely better
'Nikita' versus 'The Assasin' (with Bridget Fonda) for instance.

And how about Dutch movies. Naked chicks in any movie for no good
reason at all. Remember Showgirls from Paul Verhoeven en you know what
I mean :-)
