James, in my opinion, there has been no greater movement in popular culture in the past 50 years than to paint America as the scum of the earth. South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, all wildly popular, make Americans look bad in every episode. Married With Children did nothing but that.
Even worse, Hollywood is the greatest culprit because they SHOW how stupid they are by giving hundreds of millions of dollars to people like Michael Bay who make the most unartistic, processed shit products ever made and everybody eats it with a spoon and wants more.
Is United 93 a good film? YES! It is both tense, horrifying and delightfully unpatriotic. But for every great film like that there's 2 dozen Pearl Harbors, World Trade Centers and Transformers. Hollywood's been shoveling shit for so long now I'm happy to see something like Postal be released.
Ugh...I cried in the shower writing the review and now I've got to go do it again...
