Another Movie Review, Another Parable About Republicans
Last week, Land of the Dead exemplified something bad about Republicans. Now, Joe Williams explains how War of the Worlds symbolizes 9/11:
    It's a thrilling ride, but even those viewers who aren't troubled that the most expensive film ever made is a parable of American victimhood may grow weary of the family's close-call heroics.
There you have it, you crude reader of this blog. 9/11 is a parable of American victimhood, not a trespass to which America responded. If you're reading this blog, you wouldn't be troubled to equate something with 9/11, although victimhood would be another matter. But you're not a cognac-swilling intellectual paid to write criticism of cinema in a dwindling major paper in a diminishing city in the middle America.

I didn't catch his review, gentle reader, of Herbie Fully Loaded, but I surmise it was a parable of environmentally-conscious and fuel-efficient small cars fighting pluckily against the Republican Big Oil machine.
