Hmmm? Isn't it? Banana?

Fucking america

I am truly torn between being utterly incredulous at the arrogance, and not being at all surprised:

They've made The War of the Worlds into a film.

For those that have no concept of literature, it is an HG Wells Novel, first published (I believe) in 1896. It tells the story of an alien invasion of, initally Horsell common, and is based entirely in England. It was also famously broadcast on radio in New York in 1938 as a mock-documentary that resulted in panic in the New Jersey area as many mistook it for a bona fide news report and believed the invasion to be genuine.

So the americans touch it, and guess what? It's set in america, and is all about americans overcoming the aliens. What the fuck is that all about? I imagine that Tom Cruise will save the day as well. All on his own, nothing at all in keeping with the original novel, where a viral infection allowed mankind a lucky escape.

What a waste of fucking time and money allowing that country to have a film industry. Hollywood consists entirely of sycophantic, self-centred wankers that continually attempt to perpetuate the myth that all things good, heroic or clever are in america, happened in america, or was done by americans. No wonder the majority of their population has no concept of culture or world history or events. As far as they are indoctrinated, everything happened over there anyway.

Fuckers. Bomb them. Blow Hollywood and all the stupid cunts that live there into oblivion.
