"Neo-Nazis" are now the villains in the film version of Tom Clancy's THE SUM OF ALL FEARS

Yet more proof that the "View From Sunset Boulevard" gang members are agenda-driven "social terrorists." They're not just greedy for bucks - they want to inoculate as many people as possible with their wacky leftism. Shameful. "To Live And Die in L.A." had a Muslim homicide bomber - but they're rare in Hollywood productions.

Not on MY list of films to see... now if you talk about We Were Soldiers, that is on my BUY list, especially after seeing Mel Gibson in it!

I love Mel Gibson.

I love this quote by him (and it ain't no "Urban Legend"):

"Feminists don't like me and I don't like them... I don't know why feminists have it out for me, but that's their problem, not mine." —
Mel Gibson (star of The Road Warrior, Braveheart, The Patriot, Ransom; 100% Pro-Life)

Good thing Mel directed Braveheart himself. Had he "sold the rights" to the same clowns who did The Sum of All Fears, they would have:

1. Changed the villain from Edward the Longshanks to Fred, the white Republican voter in Florida who sent Katherine Harris a Christmas card.

2. Altered the script so the Prince and Phillip, his homosexual lover, celebrate "Diversity Day" in the city of York.

[N. Theknow]

His work has gone down hill in his last couple of books (The Bear & the Dragon" and "Rainbow 6").

Clancy fell off my "must read" list even before he came out with these two books. (When superhuman Dr. Ryan "dove" five times in three pages it was all I could take, before he could have "diven" any more) Unfortunately, someone still gave me these and all I could stomach of either one was about the first 200 pages. I gave both of them to the church book fair as I didn't even want them on my bookshelf.

Sum of all Fears was, in my estimation the beginning fo the end for Clancy as an author of any significance.

To see that even this drivel is altered and starring Ben Epicac Affleck is a further testament that no one is taking Clancy seriously anymore.

Wonder if it will outdraw that box office smash "Pearl Harbor" which also starred hasBen.

Do you honestly expect a movie to be an accurate reflection of anything?

I did not think the book wou;d have been so tampered with. What makes it worse, is that the producer, Mace Neufeld was approached by CAIR to tone down the Arab terrorism(they were not exclusively Arab), and having no backbone or cojones, decided to change the plot altogether.

Maybe one day they'll grow a spine.

"Ben Afleck is enough incentive to make me stay away....

I don't even know who the hell Afleck is, but I swore off spending money on Clancey movies after Hollywierd butcherd the last one I paid to see --- "Clear & Present Danger."

[Ditto]

Seriously, are there any actual Neo-Nazi terrorist organizations which are a credible threat to anyone?

Ya. Pick just about any Arab country. They were all helping Hitler during WWII, they all have socialist economies like Hitler's, and they all hate Jews.

...We Were Soldiers, that is on my BUY list, especially after seeing Mel Gibson in it!

Dittos...I just saw that movie about 2 weeks ago and it is a must buy.

The whole time I was saying to myself...."Holy crap! That's how America used to be."

Kudos to Mel.

In any case, remember that his character, the CIA director, dies of cancer in Clear and Present Danger. Kinda weird to have him popping up again.

No more weird than having Jack Ryan get 25 years younger.

[Green Knight]

Point taken. But what I meant was are there any Neo-Nazi terrorist organizations out there whose membership consists of the "classic" Neo-Nazi. (I.E. Aryan skinhead, mostly Germans) I'd be seriously surprised if any such organization which posed a credible threat existed. As far as I know, street gangs and loudmouth protesters is as far up as Neo-Nazis go. Certainly nowhere near the level of "International Terrorism" which Al-Qaeda's at.

Soon to be one more Hollywood flop...
