Just in time for the <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>5th anniversary of 9/11</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, the most basic primal fear we primates carry from our evolutionary heritage --<br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Fear of Reptiles.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><br>And very biblical, too.<br><br>Isn't Samuel Jackson tired of playing the Big Bad Black Man With A Gun yet? Oh, the bread he's taking home.<br><br>Funny, the movie poster for 'The Man' with Jackson and Eugene Levy where Jackson is holding a gun is now hard to find. <br><br>I found a French version but all the American versions now have Jackson holding a tie over Levy's mouth. Where did the other poster go?<br><br>Hmm...cleaning up his image a little post-Katrina?<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.horroria.com/i/nposters/01/98/19880-YW.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.horroria.com/i/nposters/01/98/19880-SD.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>But wait. Here's come a Samuel Jackson film with the word 'SNAKE' that will stir up the old racial agit prop themes of black men and white women for next year.<br><br>And the topic of child sex abuse is included. <br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>'Black Snake Moan'</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->...omfg. <br>Does it get more obvious than this?

Ok.<br><br>What is the image of Women in this film? The Langley-Hollywood rule is strong men and weak or evil women to promote National inSecurity State values which support militarism because, after all, fascism is a male dominance cult.<br><br>So what is Cristina Ricci's role as The Featured Woman?<br><br>This previewer says-<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Ricci's character was so pitiful. At first you hate her, but then you grow to feel bad for her throughout the movie.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> Jackson's character, Lazarus, has got to be my favorite, though. He was a mixture of funny and crazy, and Jackson did an excellent job. <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Yup. Standard social engineering roles. <p></p><i></i>
