(2,442 posts)1. A trailer of the film was posted on YouTube
They have the internet in Egypt.. someone saw it online. A radical Muslim then stirred up the public over there... they made it seem like it was a blockbuster Hollywood movie that millions of Americans were going to see in the theaters for 911...
smells like Neocon to me.

it won't be seen by many. I guess the guys that attacked were kind of clueless on that aspect of American life. "Blockbuster." I question if that was even real.

I hadn't even heard of the film before. I'll make a point to seek it out now.
