I can't believe they let these guys have another movie after the "League of Extraordinary (boring) Gentlemen"

I guess we will never see a Hollywood film where a right wing super hero starts cutting the tongues off of "fictional" equivalents of George Clooney and Michael Moore for lying to the American public.

He could also castrate each Hollywood producer that is affiliated with the Democrat's pedophile group, NAMBLA.

Hell, the hero could target the Hollywood sign, the Hollywood Bowl, and the climax could be that all the exits to the Oscars are blocked and a bomb detonates during the Academy award killing all those evil Hollywood propagandists.

Now, I would pay to see that film.

>Terrorists and terrorism are the heroes, the government fighting them and trying to keep us safe are the enemy

Producing a film
like this and releasing it
at a time like this

should be something like
a crime. You'd think film makers
would have common sense

and choose on their own
not to do it. Doing it
is more than "bad taste!"

I was sent from planet Xiron to conquer the earth
I had a terrific plan -- I thought it would work
Tried to get the Earthlings all to kill each other you see
But it all went wrong and now I must decree...

You are worthless Alec Baldwin, you are worthless Alec Baldwin
You failed in every way and now my stock in you has fallen
Your career is stallin' and you're worthless Alec Baldwin
That's why I blew your head off and your children are all bawlin'


Planet Xiron is inhabited with Xipods like me
But also with Balmacs who are giant bees
The Xipods and Balmacs are at constant war
So we wanted a new home and that's what Earth was for

But you are worthless Alec Baldwin, you are worthless Alec Baldwin
You f#ck#d up my whole plan and now Xiron is smeared with Balmac pollen
Your garbage needs some haulin' and you're worthless Alec Baldwin


Now I must return home a failure -- I'm afraid the pit of Kryrok is callin'...

"Darn shame to see Portman (who is a very talented actress) turning into just another left-wing moonbat. The irony is, she was born in Jerusalem...you'd think if ANYBODY would understand the evils of Muslim terrorism, it'd be somebody who was born at one of the epicenters of"

Natalie Portman is Exhibit A of the Jewish 5th column against Israel. Just as America has citizens working to destroy Her, Israel and Judaism have traitors in the flock working to destroy the Jewish state and make the Hebrew faith all but meaningless. People like Steven Spielberg say they'd "die for Israel" while making pro-terrorist propoganda for Israel's enemines. Noam Chomsky throws off his Jewish identity completely (like Leon Trotsky before him), and dedicates his life to destroying the US and Israel. Natalie has plenty of company in the club.

I took my daughter to see the Shaggy Dog, totally left-wing crap.

Really? I never took Tim Allen for the type.

This movie is adapted from a comic book published in 1988, it is set in england and it's general theme is that society must control government, not vice versa. It's not about Bush, it's not about the war in Iraq, and if you can't agree with it's general theme, how can you consider yourself a conservative? Not everything is a liberal conspiracy against Bush and when we constantly claim everything is, all it does is weaken our voice when they do do something bad. Conservatives have to stop crying wolf.

Thanks, that seals it...no V for Vendetta.
I am considering checking out "Thank You for Smoking" as it looks funny. Also, I am looking forward to the movie starring Sascha Cohen playing Borat. It is due out this summer.

I really don't know much about Tim Allen's politics, but "Shaggy Dog" is definitely a left wing pos. My honest opinion is that this movie might even do some damage to Allen's career. In addition to being in a left wing pos, he is made to look totally ridiculous at times.

Um, that's what the sociopathic Left is doing. They should oppose actual totalitarianism, not their propaganda creation.

From review....".......including a giant poster of "the Coalition of the Willing," depicting the American and British flags surrounding a swastika."



Sounds like the Matrix Bros put an anti-Iraq war, anti-war on terror spin on this though if there are scenes of "coalition of the willing" showing NAZI flags along with American and British. Something stinks bad. I am a comic fan, I did not read the comic. But it sure sounds to me like its been warped and twisted to fit the leftists politics of today.

Was the koran scene in the comic too? Anyone recall from reading the original?

Tim Allen wasn't really left-wing in the movie, but his daughter was in this "noble cause" of protesting because her teacher was thrown in jail for setting fire to a lab that was involved in animal testing. She was even laying down in the street with a bunch of her hippie-scum friends in a protest for her eco-terrorist teacher. Of course Tim Allen eventually comes around and joins her cause. Puke.....

Damage to Allen's career? This is his first non-Christmas movie since Big Trouble (huge bomb) in 2002. And he's going back to Christmas movies later this year. Allen's career is beyond damage, now he's just scrambling for paychecks.

How come evil America hasn't nuked anyone in this 'film'. I go see it if we got to nuke some one. "Blowed up real good" (farm film report)

In the original comic, the USA and USSR supposedly nuked each other into oblivion. Great Britain, which had moved to a leftist stance, then had a reactionary move to the right, and a fascist regime took over.

Maybe the author thought this would eventually happen, but there is little doubt in my mind that the movie is going to take the gist of the novel and turn it into an anti-Coalition of the Willing statement. Otherwise, the comic book would have been filmed before now.

Remember, these days, Fascism=Hitler=Bush. Anybody who takes a geography class in Colorado knows that.
