"Angry and depressed over losing his job, accountant Terry Allen begins to suspect his new neighbor, a single Islamic grad student with a penchant for unexplained late night activities, is at the center of a terrorist conspiracy. Although both Terry’s wife and the FBI agent to whom he reports his suspicions are skeptical about his fears, Terry becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the man’s true identity."

I don't know if you can call it fear mongering, without seeing it.

It could easily turn out that the white guy is nuts (which is probably what it's going to be).

You can't judge a movie by its trailer.

5/24/2007 2:27:34 AM

its probably paid for by karl rove

5/24/2007 3:14:02 AM

They probably just copied fight club and he doesn't actually have a neighbor.

5/24/2007 3:39:32 AM

yeah HE is the Islamic terrorist

all those times he was blacking out... he was at the mosque or praying

he blacks out at least 5 times a day, ya know

5/24/2007 10:38:55 AM

So they turned that Southpark episode into a movie?

5/24/2007 11:25:00 AM

sounds like it might be decent

5/24/2007 12:13:11 PM

I liked this movie better when it was called Arlington Road

5/24/2007 12:26:13 PM

Isn't this just Rear Window with terrorism instead of murder?

I'm dissapointed this thread isn't about An Inconvenient Truth.

zoom zoom zoom

5/24/2007 1:33:21 PM

Arlington Road

5/24/2007 1:45:21 PM

Except in Arlington road the guy wasn't Islamic.

I mean, the description even specficially says "Islamic grad student"

Fuck that bigotry shit. Oh noes Islams is terrorists!

5/24/2007 2:02:49 PM

Wait, what?

Casting an islamic grad student as a terror suspect is bigoted?

Are you just trolling?

5/24/2007 2:06:29 PM

ok so minus the guy being islamic, its the same ass plot as arlington road.

5/24/2007 2:09:06 PM

^except he may not actually be a terrorist. I think that will be the shocking plot twist because everyone who goes to see this movie will automatically assume this kid is a terrorist because he's Muslim. So the moral of the story here, 'folks' is that not all Muslims are terrorists.

It's not the same plot, it's the same premise.

I have a new idea for a movie

a guy suspects his Black neighbor of stealing his fried chicken

5/24/2007 2:42:29 PM

but he left the watermellon

WHY?!?!

5/24/2007 2:45:57 PM

^^You sound like those bitches in the NAACP complaining whenever a black man is cast as a bad guy in movies. Only you're not muslim so you sound even more retarded.

sounds like Season 6 of 24. Ahmad, the kid in the beginning of the movie show.

and the season with the turks too....

My point is that it's such an obviously offensive cliche to have the bad guy be a young Muslim suicide bomber. It's fear-mongering at its finest.

Why?

5/24/2007 7:05:52 PM

Because times are hard enough for the religion that was "blamed" for killing people in NYC.


Timothy McVeigh was a devout Roman Catholic, but you don't see movies with terrorists that say, "He suspects his neighbor, a devout Roman Catholic, of being a terrorist..."

[Edited on May 24, 2007 at 7:11 PM. Reason : ]

5/24/2007 7:10:11 PM

thats prolly because there are a lot more Muslim terrorists than roman catholic terrorists

5/24/2007 7:19:02 PM

NO, its because Muslim terrorists is whats selling these days. People just want to make money and they'll make up any crap to do it.

5/24/2007 7:34:00 PM

^^^wait, you're bitching about being PC when you were the asshat that caused all that racist drama with WRAL?

^really? hmm...never heard that before.

and whats this racist drama with WRAL anyway?

5/24/2007 11:16:13 PM

Wait, we were actually on WRAL for some racist stuff? I thought that was a joke...

5/24/2007 11:36:58 PM

yeah, it was the UNC game thread, when Lawson dunked it in the last seconds (while they were ahead)

Some racial slurs were thrown his way, and God called for a rope.

WRAL blew it way out of proportion.

It should be a 76 year old white nun. Or a toddler. That would be a much better movie. ITS A MOVIE, GET A LIFE.
