They don't hang about, do they, these Hollywood types!

[Sannum]

1. Is he still with Calista Flockhart?

Or did he break her?

As for the movie, :eyes:

[Mira]

3. Will Napalm be featured? n/t

[russian33]

7. she will play one of the starved citizens of fallujah

they're going to have to fatten her up a bit for the part though

;)

[Padme Amidala]

13. Will the Fallujahans be the heroes and the Americans the villians

That would be an accurate movie.

[gordianot]

2. Is it really over? If over who won?

[tridim]

4. Maybe they should wait a few years to get some perspective

(and the truth) before making the inevitable Bush-war movies.

[President Jesus]

5. based on his campaign donations, I would hope this is not some...

...rah rah movie. Harrison is on our side.

[DeaconBlues]

23. Yeah, with a name like "No True Glory" and Harrison's politics,

I don't think the movie will be a modern day "Green Berets."

[autorank]

6. This is just appaling. Change his name to Mr. Hugh Bris.

I used to like this guy, not as an actor, but as a semi-tolerable celebrity. What on earth is he thinking of. Just amazing how stupid some people are. I'm sure this one will play real well overseas, not.

8. TRUST HOLLYWOOD

to whitewash and glamorize American atrocities. Throw up now. Here's one Canadian who won't be seeing it. It's a completely immoral illegal war. Sheesh!

[MileHiStealth]

9. How does it end ...

with the Iraquis taking it back and kicking
the US out ?

[Rapcw]

10. Ugh

:puke: :puke: :puke:

11. Sneak preview of the script.....shhh.....don't tell a soul.

OK, so Ford is driving along an Iraqi highway in a cool Humvee with a really hot Iraqi chick. His car does a Bond thing and turns into this amazing star fighter and the Iraqi chick is all of a sudden covered with fur. He swoops over the desert at amazing speeds and lands in Falluja right in the middle of main street. He hops out, armed to the teeth and announces "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all out of bubble gum. Where are those fucking Saddam droids? Bring 'em on!" Running through the streets of a neon festooned, post modern Falluja, he begins a hunt for the Holy Grail of WMD. There are none to be found but he's on point and finds one of those Falluja hash markets run by Iraqi drug lords. He quickly dispatches all of them with "extreme prejudice"; pausing for a moment to think of all the lives he saved in the Homeland. A little Iraqi boy, one of Wolfie's Marsh Arabs, witnesses the hit and fears for his life. Ford takes him under his arm and hides him away for safe keeping. Ford hauls out his satellite radio and calls the President who is flying overhead in Air Force One. They engage on monosyllabic banter and its back to business. Intent on finding the WMD, Ford's kicking in doors, blowing up homes, and generally flattening the city. All of a sudden he realizes that he's doing this all alone. Well, one riot, one ranger, WTF he says. Bye the time Ford's finished, the regular troops arrive and help him mop up, so to speak. With the city saved for democracy, Ford hustles back to his star fighter, grabs the boy and the furry girl and takes off never to be seen again (until the sequel).

Audiences all of the world greet the film as another example of those gruff but lovable Americans and their wacky entertainment.

12. who plays the love interest?

you've got me on the edge...

[autorank]

14. It's a subtletihng...either the furry Iraqi chick or the kid. Have to

see the movie.

[tanyev]

21. Evan Rachel Hunter

is probably about the right age to play a current love interest for a 60ish male star.

[soup]

22. Author! Author!

(oh, wait, that would be you...)

throwing roses at the screen and nominating for medal of freedom excellence in reality award

[Miami Liberal]

15. WTF?

:shrug:

[bklyncowgirl]

16. Does Ford play some 50 year old reservist called up in a skills draft?

Or does Indiana Jones try to rescue the treasure of Gilgamesh from the evil forces of Al Queda?

[Algorem]

17. Private Oldy Olsen

[tanyev]

19. 50?

He must be pushing 60. Grampa Goes to Iraq. A heartwarming comedy.

[City Lights]

20. LOL.

My thoughts exactly. I mean, just how old is this General Mattis? Sheesh.

[TyeDye75]

18. I wonderd how long we would have to wait for an Iraq film
