Think this deserves its own thread in Politics.
Tao, are you referring to Transformers or Sicko?
Transformers I don't really have any desire to see, as it seems like some kind of black and white good vs evil military propaganda film. If you go to the official web site, you will be encouraged immediately to choose sides--protect or destroy. Kind of reminds me of election time with sound-bite signs that read: "Vote YES for schools!!" You don't want to vote AGAINST schools do you? You don't HATE CHILDREN, do you?
Yuck. Just watched the trailer again. "We are facing war against an advanced technological enemy" or some such crap. I find it extremely cynical that this film was released on July 4th and marketed to kids. It seems like I read somewhere that in this movie it is also said, "There can be no victory without sacrifice," which echoes a lot of the crap our nation was fed by Dubya's administration in the days following 9/11. Hell, they are still trying to sell that line. Look, we have movies like Transformers.
It especially sucks because I used to like some of the toys as a kid.
