I really , when I his outrageous sympathetic homicide bomber movie, “.” (Cuban financed it, produced it, distributed it, showed it in his theaters, etc. We will publish some of Cuban’s insulting, juvenile responses to you, my readers, later this week–as Thanksgiving that this movie bombed, despite all the hype.)
Now, I’ve struck a nerve with “The War Within’s” Director/Writer Joseph Castelo, who–in an e-mail to me–is apparently miffed that I don’t agree with Roger Ebert’s and yes-man Roeper’s “Two Thumbs Up” to this terrorist-sympathizing, baselessly anti-American movie (and an anti-Semitic, Palestinian version, “Paradise Now.”)
Its no surprise that Ebert would like these horrible–horribly sickening in their sympathy to terrorists–wastes of celluloid. After all, as we pointed out here, Roger Ebert (PKK is tied to Al-Qaeda) who is Ebert’s friend. As for Roeper, well, as I wrote, he is a yes-man to Ebert, and even when they “disagree,” they’re not really disagreeing.
Here’s the abbreviated version of “The War Within’s” e-mail (I need not repeat Ebert’s and yes-man Roeper’s sickening gushing in its saliva-filled entirety):

[DEBBIE: YES, THERE IS, ROGER. DESTROY THEM. KILL THEM. DEFEAT THEM. DON’T MAKE ABSURD MOVIES SYMPATHIZING WITH THEM AND LYING THAT WE TORTURED THEM.]

[DEBBIE: YES, BOTH HOMICIDE BOMBERS BLOW THEMSELVES UP. GEE, I’D NEVER HAVE PREDICTED THAT.]

[DEBBIE: NO, “WAR WITHIN” ISN’T PLAYING IN MY AREA ANYMORE B/C, NO PUN, INTENDED, IT WAS A HUGE BOMB–THANKFULLY.]

[DEBBIE: ACCURATE? REALLY? DID WE TORTURE THE 9/11 HIJACKERS BEFORE THEY BLEW UP 3,000 AMERICANS? “WAR WITHIN” SAYS YES, THAT THEY COMMIT TERROR BECAUSE WE TORTURED THEM FIRST. DO JEWS POISON PALESTINIAN WATER TO DESTROY PALESTINIAN SPERM? THAT’S WHAT “PARADISE NOW” SAYS–AS ONE OF ITS JUSTIFICATIONS FOR HOMICIDE BOMBINGS. DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE WORKED, SINCE THERE ARE NOW 5 MILLION PLUS PALESTINIANS ENCROACHING UPON ISRAEL.]

[DEBBIE: AND THAT’S A BAD THING? AS OPPOSED TO THINKING, HOW NICE AND PERSECUTED THESE POOR TERRORISTS ARE, AND HOW WE SHOULD BEND OVER BACKWARD (OR FORWARD) FOR THEM AS THESE MOVIES PRESCRIBE? YEAH, THAT’LL STOP TERRORISM, ROGER.]

[DEBBIE: NOTE TO RICHARD, RE-CHECK YOUR HISTORY. WE DEFEATED HITLER AND THE NAZIS BECAUSE WE DEMONIZED THEM. WE DIDN’T MAKE MOVIES TO “UNDERSTAND” OR SYMPATHIZE WITH THEM. DUDE, GET A CLUE. NOTHING “SMART” ABOUT THESE MOVIES, UNLESS YOU’RE AN ISLAMO-FASCIST PROPAGANDIST AND GOT A JEWISH CAPITALIST LIKE MARK CUBAN TO FINANCE THE TRASH, TO BOOT.]
