I had the same thought, only here I am without that power... :D

All over it baby.

I happened to see Munch, er Munich last night ... and I thought it was a very good film. It's nice to see Spielberg do something worthy rather than pap like War of the Worlds or The Terminal.

I've heard complaints that the film is wishy washy for tackling both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian terrorism issue ... but what kind of crap would it be if it didn't? It's not supposed to be a gung-ho revenge movie (though it smartly plays like a caper flick to keep up the excitement level), but is rather - at its heart - an indictment of eye-for-an-eye justice, extra-legal assasination justice, and of the level good people are often forced to stoop to in order to do battle with bad people ... and the toll that takes on the human soul.

Great performances, action a'plenty, human drama and a timely moral ... all packaged by one of the world's foremost film directors. Not a bad recipe for a movie.

I, too, saw 'Munich'. I saw it on Sunday and still feel like I'm recovering from it. I liked it. It is shot very well. It's paced well. Like iSm says it does not take sides. But what it does instead of sway you is it makes you feel very frustrated that the problems between the two sides will never, ever end. It made me frustrated.

Oh, and I'm moving this to Beatnik, cause I (and others) may enjoy discussing the film now that we're done dissing the idiots who are too young and stupid to know either the title, significant 20th Century history, or basic geography.

Heh, welcome to the world of the Arabs and Jews. I've been frustrated my whole life.

Frankly, I wish the Israeli's would wise up, forget about Jerusalem and their homeland of 2,000 freaking years ago, and seek out what I thought was an unwittingly wise suggestion by an Iranian Imam ... namely, see if some small European country - - say, for example, Lichtenstein - - would like to become the new Israel.
