Sigh 'Next' with Nicolas Cage. The terrorists in this movie! They were thrown in just to give him some way to exploit his powers. Did they even have a reason to blow things up.
It's like "Uhh..okay we need some terrorists, uh, you, Frenchy your European right? Yeah we'll just have some eurotash guys blowing stuff up". (Some of us actually have a reason, Chuh!).

I kind of like the stereotypical English megalomaniac or seriel killer, I think they are good in that role. I don't much like the other English sterotypes though; bumbling Hugh Grants, the cockney psychic/photographer/dodgy mechanic thing, the ''thank God it's the Americans come to save our incompetent butts by George'' types.

Oh and just for the record. That bad teeth thing. That's from the good ol' days of the empire. We don't have bad teeth anymore. Honest. They consumed something like one third of the worlds sugar. I saw in The Simpsons when the dentist tries to scare Lisa he shows her 'The Big Book of British Teeth'.

How much has Hollywood influenced our opinions of countries do you think? I was quite suprised when my American friend told me a lot of you are quite the shy, retireing types. I only had tv and crazy newspaper stories to judge.

If Hollywood was to be believed, all English people repressed, living in huge 50 bedroomed mansions, speak posh or made up cockney ryming slang
