What an ass. I was turned off by the trailers when they showed not only Christ the Redeemer breaking apart but the fracturing of the Creation of Adam. I suspected it was a swipe, but now he comes out and admits it. And, he's too cowardly to take on the Kaaba (as a result, the trailer only shows Muslims worshipping, free of destruction).
This is the same ass who said, while promoting his Day After Tomorrow, that if he had a billboard he would say something like, "Imagine a world without George Bush."
He doesn't want Christians at his film, so let's do him a favor.

What a pussy. I thought artistes were supposed to be all brave and suffer for their art.
Instead he's just another mealy mouthed linquini spined yellow bellied coward.

I guess destruction of Christian symbols (not very important really) is just the burden of the Christians since we do not practice the killing of our opposition. Turning a cheek has its cost. Nevertheless we should just be obedient and let God repay if or when He wants.
To: Rastus
true artists never fear for their lives. you’re a coward... and a pacifist.

I understand the point that we shouldn’t worship the symbols of Christ the Redeemer or the Sistine Chapel, but besides being exquisitely beautiful works of art, their destruction is not aimed at the art itself but at our beliefs. Emmerich can believe what he wants, but it’s amazing to basically piss on a good majority of his target American audience and then hope we’ll turn out anyway.

To: Rastus
Emmerich, you mentioned that you planned on doing it. That earns you a fatwa for your thoughts.

"You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [a]
Arab muslim symbol, you would have a fatwa..."
Corrected.

Shh. You aren’t supposed to remember that one time arabs were Christian as were Spaniards. Such as it is with Islamic imperialism.

I liked Stargate, but prefer the show. Independence Day was a “saw it, enjoyed it, don’t need to see it again” affair. I actually liked the Patriot quite a bit. The rest of his work wasn’t worth even watching for free on cable.

He’s a coward because he doesn’t want to get him and others killed over a movie scene? I suppose if you folks had been in his place, you would have shot the scene. Yeah. Right.

Emmerich is a hack who makes noisy junk. Stargate started well but quickly ran out of ideas. Independence Day was pure excrement.
