First I hate how americans have to remake EVERYTHING. Do american film producers think that americans are above movies from other places?
They're remaking norwegian movies, korean, japanese, english, EVERYTHING.
My conclusion is that either american producers think americans are too good to view good movies and have to remake the movies with american actors to make it look better for the american master race, or they think americans are to stupid to view the content and have to make it dumber. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO REMAKE, TELL ME YOU YANKEE DOODLES.
( I just found out they're maybe working on an american Battle Royale film, BLERGH). You know what? I'm betting that after J.K Rowling's death, they're gonna make a new Harry Potter series, with an american Harry Potter only to make up for their lack of 500+++ years of culture. Why did they have to remake the BLOODY BRILLIANT series the Office? Were the jokes too complicated?
I also hate that in fantasy movies, everyone are british. They're doing fine, then something ugly and big comes. And in comes the only american in the world and saves them. So in order to compensate for their lack of 500 year old culture, they have to have americans saving us puny europeans from a savage looking pen? GAWD.
Ok, enough about rant on remakes.
WHY DO AMERICAN PRODUCERS NOT CARE ABOUT OTHER CULTURES THAN THEY'RE OWN?! Are they not capable of actually trying to make it look authentic?
It made the headlines in the newspapers here how american directors TRIED to make som american actress talk norwegian, it sounded like crap. And have you guys watched War?( Rogue Assassin in Europe, with Jet Li) You remember the ugly chick who was the daughter of the head yakuza? Even I, who barely watched japanese movies anymore heard instantly that she pronounced the words ALL wrong. And why the blazes make Jet Li use a katana? He doesn't do frikkin kenjutsu, he uses chinese martial arts! Seriously, almost every 8th american movie nowadays has a katana ( and they use it like a frikkin baseball bat).
And why must it always be about an american?
Forbidden Kingdom....I watched 20 minutes and said WTF and walked out. Oh look at me, I'm the frikkin white n american, dawg. Look at me, I go into a chinese store, and I'm sent to frikkin ancient China where people somehow speak english. And he has to save the day for the idiotic chinese. I also once read the back of a dvd: Blablabla, Whitey McAmerican has a son. Son gets kidnapped by evil buddhist monks who makes Whitey McAmerican Jr. the new Dalai Llama.
Fine we get it, you're sad about not having and old culture, don't try to mess up someone elses.
And seriosly, are Americans ( and Norwegians
) analphabets or something? Aren't most americans capable of reading? If you're wondering what I'm talking about, here are some examples:
- IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- KAMEJAMEJAMEJAAAAAAA ( he tried to pronounce kamehameha -_-)

Of course, americans do make good movies. Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima ( not even one american trying to act as a japanese soldier, I'm impressed!), Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean ( ok, number 3 sucked), Disney movies, etc etc. And some of the best actors are from the US; Harrison Ford, Johnny Depp, etc. I'm just irritated about everything has to be americanized -.-
Other things I hate:
Idiots who support Obama only because he's young, black and wants to end the war.
Those who voted for Bush, knowing he would go to war, only to turn against him later. They voted for him, stand by your choice (I bet most of them only turned on him because their children were sent to Iraq).
Those people saying: " Nah, I won't read it. I'll wait till the movie comes out".
People badmouthing boxing ( it rocks, and I'd like to see your 8th dan grand master try to beat Muhammad Ali in his prime) or MMA. ( yes, I was one of those once -.- )
Hippies.
Environmentalists. They say they're for a greener earth, but they're frikkin eating the green.
Vegetarians. They won't be less dead just because you won't eat it. It'll only mean they were killed for nothing, if we eat em, it at least had a purpose.
Feminists. Ok, you want equal rights? Go ahead, but stop thinking you're only gonna get the good bits. My teacher was talking some weeks ago: Oh, women and men are gonna be 100% equal soon!!.
Friend: Does that mean men have to stay at home and watch the kids, wash clothes, make dinner and so on?
T: Yes
F: Does that mean women have to go out in the rain, change the tires, fix the plumbing, etc?
T: Definatly not.
We're would we be without women you ask? Garden of Eden.
People who are white supremasists, but believe in Darwin's teachings.
People saying f*** the troops in Iraq, when most of those who say it sent them there themselves.
I hate how almost every friend is leaving in less than 2 months.
5 or more! And one is moving to Washington ( CURSE YOU USA)
Peopel who talk about things they don't understand. I hate political discussions where theres always an idiot going: Durr, war iz bad. Vote for Obama, he's against the war.
Wiggers.
That's all I can think of for now.
