Kahn Writer Takes on Geoge Washington

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!

Meyer comes off as a bit of an arrogant prick, but he's a pretty talented writer. I'm interested to see what comes of this. I've often wondered why there hasn't been a contemporary major studio production of stories about Washington, Lincoln, etc. (Ok, I guess Spielberg's Lincoln project is finally proceeding.)

The problem is that Fox owns the rights to the distribution of Lincoln, but Universal has the rights to making the actual film. Vice versa with Washington. The two studios can't come to an agreement.

In other news, Viacom just bought the rights to oxygen and they're going to start suing everyone who breathes it in illegally.

Hey, lets have General Washington battle against a Predator during the Revolutionary War!

What? It's not sci-fi? Never mind.

Woah, yeah. How'd I miss that, monkeyfoot?

How the frak is this genre news?

Couldn't agree more nrollins, I guess Washington wasn't popular enough with Hollywood for them to make a movie to bash him...like they are going to do with that Spielberg movie which all the buzz is about how "bad" of a person Lincoln was. Like there was ever any question that the man wasn't perfect, who is? But that's Hollywood lets tear down all the American heroes because they don't follow your far left wing ideals.

Not saying Meyers will bash Washington. In fact I think this is the best chance to get history correct. You really don't need to make anything up with the man, he was an extraordinary individual. Meyers seems to be a history buff so I will look forward to reading more about this.

Who doesn't love George, but they better give Alexander Hamilton his props, since he was the brains behind a lot of the strategy of the war.

Hamilton was the brains behind a lot of the strategy? I don't doubt he helped contribute but he was on Washingtons staff and later commanded at the battle of Yorktown he wasn't behind anything as far as I'm aware. Any kind of brains behind anything you have to give to Washington. It was his strategy that won the war.

I will say Hamilton deserves his own movie because he was an extraordinary person as well and doesn't get the credit he deserves beacuse of the way his life ended. I'm feel confident in saying he would been a President if he had lived.

Where did the "Kahn" misspelling start? I've even seen the tape strip on top of DVD's spell it like that, despite the fact the cover gives the correct spelling of "Khan". I'd make a nasty crack about people not being able to spell a four-letter word but I see this so often I think I must be missing something.

To add doublec: Who is this "Geoge" Washington that MANIA speaks of? Does our spell checker not do article titles?

P.S. Kahn is his Hebrew name.
