Little known is a gross understatement.

Assassinate Tom Cruise ? Or the character he was playing ?

Forgive an ignorant Brit who never watches films, but it is all beyond me !

I think he's referring to the new Cruise movie about the plot to assassinate Hitler. Can't remember what it's called right now.

Oh, now I get it!

Gotta love these Brits read some idiotic Movie promo blurb and take it as gospel. There was a movie about this years ago.

don't get touchy FF; just because some-pseudo Brit rattled your cage

It is only worth getting annoyed if the person attempting it is worth your while, old bean

Von Staffenburg planted a briefcase at the conference table.
Someone moved it so that it was behind a table leg thus deflecting the blast so that Hitler survived.
All the conspirators were rounded up and hung with piano wire.

Not exactly "little known".

Not only that but, Hollywood also made a movie about a couple of dudes trying to fly an airplane at Kittyhawk way back when, How bout the one about the Battle of the Bulge?
Thought I would die laughing at that scheme, funny what they will make movies about,,should stick to Star trek/ Star wars shit..

SB, didn't they force Rommel to shoot himself, I forgot it happen so long ago..

I would have you know, us Yanks would never do anything underhanded...

Loopy on a Sunday afternoon. Maybe not so bad afterall.

Wow

Wow

It must be nice to be able to judge the intelligence and knowledge of an entire nation by the ad for a single film.

Recently I was looking at some statistics and saw despite having only four percent of the world’s population, over 50% of the scientific patents come from America. In my field, the vast majority of the top academic Journals are published in the USA and most of the top scholars are Americans. Also, the percent of the population that attends undergraduate and graduate programs is much higher in the US than just about any other country. Sure we got our share of thickies (what nation doesn’t), but I was under the impression it would have been really hard to become the world’s only military, economic, and scientific superpower with a population full of idiots.

But I now I know I was wrong. becasue of this impressive bit of research posted here.

Yeah, we is smart. No brag, just fact.

Accidental Ajarn,

Brace yourself for the wrath of Lilly.
Americans are not allowed to defend being berated. We're just here to provide targets for those that view slagging the US as sport. Any retort or comeback -- witty, clever or otherwise -- is viewed as chest-beating and arrogant. Strictly prohibited.

^^
And we makes good movies too...or is it to? or maybe two? Maybe a native Engrish speaker can help out here?

I really hope the US won't adopt the UK's immigration policies.Is it true that in the UK you can no longer display the British flag?
