I know. On the other hand, as movies become more global they should improve on that. Tom Send a noteboard - 08/05/2010 04:32:09 AM
It's not like it was back in, say, 1965, when Doctor Zhivago was released. Then, most of the people who watched the movie had never been to Russia, many of them had never even met Russians and the world was divided along political lines. Now these movies broadcast worldwide, simultaneously. Regardless of what culture is being stereotyped, it's safe to say people in the country are watching the movie and shaking their heads, saying, "damn they're stupid" or something like that (possible exception: North Korea if you're not in the Kim family).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!
