"China Earthquake was Karma" - Sharon Stone

Nothing to do with tectonic plates then, Shaz? You fucking cunt. Stick to opening and closing your legs, because when you attempt the same principle with your mouth you fuck up.

I heard what she said on the news the other day. What an idiot. I hate people who say natural disasters are karma and shit like that. I tell you, those giant dragonflies must have been some evil bastards when they were flying around and the earth was covered by volcanoes and earthquakes.

She's a piece of work that Sharon Stone. I say, if there's any such thing as Karma, she'll be getting some payback from making some pretty bad movies!

Hollywood is becoming a very bad ambassador for the US. Recent examples include :

The Russians trying to ban the new Indiana Jones Movie.

The new Iron Man movie seems to insult Arabs, Pakistanis and Indians.

Granted there has always been stereotypes (especially anti-Muslim ones), but it seems a number of recent movies seem to carry the neo-con agenda (including the films which try to gloss over the anomalies in the 911 official story).

That's always been the case with Hollywood, though. Cowboys and Indians movies always had the Indians as the bad guys, and all disaster movies like Independence Day and that one with the big comet headed for Earth have "The Americans" saving the world, as though no other country could do anything except them. And wasn't their recent Pearl Harbour movie a complete bastardisation of historical fact?

It's symptomatic of the fact a lot of Americans are brought up to truly believe that they're the greatest nation on Earth and as such there's no need to learn much about any other countries. That sort of thing becomes an apparently self-fulfilling prophecy, too, when even their movie houses seem to confirm it for them.

[faceless]

If anyone goes to the movies to find out about history then they're mental.

But to be fair, if there was a movie industry in Britain that was big enough I reckon we'd get stacks of the pro-British bullshit that goes on in Dr Who. It's patriotism that's the problem. Also, if people tried not being total idiots like Sharon Stone, that would help!

to be fair to her she did say 'maybe' ... shes probably just watched too much my name is earl and lives in a crazy world detached from reality - she might have thought the same sort of thing when hurricane katrina hit new orleans for example, like skylace says ... what an idiot

i agree with whats been said about films and history

skylace, you've taught in america, whats the history stuff like in the curriculum? i think what i got taught here was crap, very limited
