Busey And Zane Go Over The Top

This is outrageous, as well as revolting. In WWI parlance, going over the top had noble meaning:

Today we use the expression 'over the top' to mean something that is extreme, outrageous or inappropriate. Most soldiers in the Great War must have felt the same way about orders to go 'over the top'. For them it meant leaving the safety of their trenches and attacking the enemy.

Now, C-list, if they're actually on any list, actors Gary Busey and Billy Zane go over the top to attack, not simply the United States, but both Christians and Jews, as well.

A Turkish movie featuring American actor Gary Busey as a Jewish U.S. army doctor who cuts out the organs of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib and sells them to wealthy foreign clients is breaking all box office records in Turkey.

Even worse is the depiction of Zane's character, Sam William Marshall, as a psychopathic Christian fundamentalist, who can be kind to an Iraqi one moment and then kill him instantly.

Poetic or dramatic license my butt. These two has been clowns are a disgrace. Apparently there simply aren't enough network trash shows allowing washed up actors to live in a group home setting, or otherwise embarrass themselves in some gawking pretense to still having a career. Be sure and read it all via The Moderate Voice. h/t Dean Esmay.

Correction made - should have been WWI, obviously. I inadvertantly refered to WWII.

Busey tried the realty route a few years ago, I forget the name of the show but it was bad.

You know, if I hadn't watched dozens of Hollywood movies over the years that portray foreigners such as Arabs as cartoonish bad-guys, you might have a point.

It's a blatant double standard to suggest that Busey and Zane have done anything that hasn't been done countless times in Hollywood. Too bad the shoe is on the other foot this time, but let's not pretend that the two actors have done anything that hasn't been done year after year by other actors stereotyping Non-Americans with cartoonish portrayals.

By the time of World War II, "going over the top" had a decidedly negative connotation. It comes from the trench warfare of The Great War (i.e. what people in the United States know as World War I). Yeah, I know its a nit, but I have an aversion to bad history.

Your right, my bad Ill fix it, Bill. Damn. lol You remind me of an old conservative history prof I had.

Yes sure, because you know, Jew doctors cut out organs for sale all the time and there is not one documented incident of Arabs blowing up innocents.

None, what so ever.

BTW..what ARE all these "dozens".... name any 12, random order will do.

Billy Zane used to be hot. I haven't seen him in anything in awhile, but he had the best body on an actor I had ever seen. Nice butt and arms.
