Lately, it seems that asking for unabashedly pro-American movie these days is like asking for the moon. I’m not sure if it’s because Hollywood is a bunch of weirdos who need to be slapped around a bit or unpatriotic capitalists worried about how movies will do overseas (are there any good examples of movies that did well here but bombed internationally?), but I want more “America is awesome!” movies.
Here’s my idea: They should make a Nuke the Moon movie. It would be a movie about the president finally getting fed up that countries don’t fear us and thus applying the principles from my Nuke the Moon essay. I think it would play really well with everyone, because to the unsophisticated it would seem like a parody of America’s warmongering nature, but the sophisticated like us would know it was actually about how insanely awesome America and explosions are.
This is an awesome idea. If you know someone in Hollywood who makes movies, have him give me a call. Or e-mail me; I don’t like getting phone calls.
This is what they should do as a sequel to Team America: World Police. They could call it Team America: Warmongers for Peace. The only thing cooler than American explosions are American puppet explosions.
Hey… there’s an idea. I think I’m with Phelps, too. Write Matt & Trey (guys who made Team America) and order them to make it. Make sure to have a little note at the end with something like, “You never know what we crazy Americans will do if we don’t get us a movie about nuking the moon!”
Nuke Uranus.
It’s hard to believe that nobody picked up on this one, Frank.
I don’t know Frank, I think “300” did it for me. I realize they were Spartans, not Americans, but a gal can only handle so much hot buff gorgeous male in her movie going experience.
However, if you must do a Nuke the Moon movie, make them cast Dean Cain, Brendan Fraser, Adam Baldwin(of Jayne Cobb fame), and Casper Van Dien for a full helping of manly goodness….heh…
It’s got to be a Stallone…Rocky VII Nuke The Moon… Rocky’s finally retired from boxing but has come out of retirement and has just been elected President after 4 years of a liberal female president who has been held hostage by a weak foreign policy which has led to our nation being bombed and terrorized around the world. Rocky takes over and implements Frank’s full plan…including a tax on all nations that aren’t us! Beautiful!
I totally agree. The Kingdom was actually fairly good until the ending line (they tried to draw some sort of equivalence between us and terrorists. So stupid. I mean, we have F16s, for God’s sake.).
