Hollywood War-time Morale Booster?
I've learned not to expect much from Hollywood in recent years, but I just saw a trailer for a film that debuts Friday called "Reign of Fire" that *could be* a big cinematic metaphor for our War on Islamists.
See for yourself here at the movie's website:
Touchstone Pictures' "Reign of Fire"
Curiously, the nest of the "monsters" is in London, which also is becoming known as a hotbed for Al Queda and other forms of violent IslamoFascism.
[Note: There's a poll at the site with this question:
Which do you think is the better plan for bringing down the beast?
A. Take the fight to the dragon: strike now before it can.
B. Wait it out: the dragons might die or leave anyway.
C. Flee: try and find somewhere secure from the flying scourge.
84% of the respondents have chosen A. Take the fight to the dragon.
If I were President Bush, this movie and this poll's results (can you say "Iraq attack"?) would tell me LOTS.]
