Red Dawn remake?

Seriously why does this exist?

These fantasies always strike me as a little gross. ( cut for pinko ranting )

Also goddammit Hollywood, can we get some new stories?


PS. Red Dawn is apparently #15 in a list of Best Conservative Movies. Ha ha ha.

lol 300

Ok, also from this list of Best Conservative Movies, is this gem about 300:

During the Bush years, Hollywood neglected the heroism of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan — but it did release this action film about martial honor, unflinching courage, and the oft-ignored truth that freedom isn’t free. Beneath a layer of egregious non-history — including goblin-like creatures that belong in a fantasy epic — is a stylized story about the ancient battle of Thermopylae and the Spartan defense of the West’s fledgling institutions. It contrasts a small band of Spartans, motivated by their convictions and a commitment to the law, with a Persian horde that is driven forward by whips. In the words recorded by the real-life Herodotus: "Law is their master, which they fear more than your men[, Xerxes,] fear you."

I want to fucking roll around in the silliness and savour it. THE WEST'S FLEDGLING INSTITUTIONS, YOU GUYS. Did we see the same movie? (I suspect not).
