Yes Rap, Mars Attacks got just about everything right. Thank you.

SRS, you keep hitting those nails on the head and you will have built a theater! Remember these guys? :) and :( ? That's what movies and the theater are all about. If you want accuracy then watch documentaries and critic the same. Film makers take great liberties at time and accentuate different aspects of their subject for effect. They don't tell the whole story. They don't give every one's point of view. It IS about entertainment and it IS about box office receipts! Big $$$ and if the public WANTS "stupid" and if the public PAYS for "stupid", why it's STUPID they shall have! For my self, I'm not really into STUPID so I spend my entertainment $$$ elsewhere, for the most part.

If you are getting your history from the movies, that just might be STUPID!
