Cinescape isn’t that bad

At least they don’t censor Steven Spielberg’s name because he’s Jewish. That’s what they’re doing in Lebanon! [Link]

If you don’t want to support him for being a zionist maybe you shouldn’t watch his movies instead of watching them then pretending he didn’t make them lol. It’s hypocrisy.

Sick of those who keep twisting things around! Once should always watch what others are doing in order to learn & understand & come-up with conclusions! This has nothing to do with hypocrisy! I respect his work but I don’t respect his Zionism & twisting facts around! Hope what I said will fit in your narrow mind!

I did not support… Read clearly, I UNDERSTAND! I know the difference between a Jew & an atheist Zionist! You always have to think “WHY” the other party did so, not “WHAT” the other party did! When you understand the “WHY” you wont ask the “WHAT”! There is a reaction to each and every action! Action first, reaction second!

No worries NJ… I am not a hostile person! I am just sick of all the ignorance! When are we gonna learn how to read, think, observe & understand independently!!!???

there are barely any lines to read between, munich clearly and accurately portrays what happened after the israeli athletes were murdered by that Palestinian terrorist group……it might skew to show jews as victims (which they were)……but the same would happen if a kuwaiti made a film about the iraqi invasion…..or if a new yorker made a movie about 9/11…..you just subscribe to what most people here are conditioned to believe and that is hate all jews

Goddammit… where is Lebanon going?

Next thing they should ban Facebook… cuz you know; how can us Lebanese use a site owned by a Jew? Or how about Starbucks?! Maybe we should close that too.

Jews are all over the place and they own many of the huge businesses, and own Hollywood.

So this is beyond ridiculous.

They should ban all websites using PHP because the company that develops it is Jewish!

/sarcasm

At least its not as bad as when they used to magic marker out Israel in geography books in Saudi (as if that would make it magically disappear).

The govt here also censored James Joyce’s Dubliners for our AS level exams. We had to censor words like “kiss” “church” etc

I was surprised that here they didn’t even bother censoring the scenes with alcohol bottles/consumption in Tintin. But then again, one character is supposed to be intoxicated the whole time.

Not hating on Jews… just the illuminati. If they respected that here we wouldn’t have starbucks or pinkberry springing up and feeding it and feeding off the ‘mainstream zombies’ that fill the country… and the world.
Poor, sad little things.

Hm, great idea… lol, and you must be a sad sorry consumer of starbucks unnecessarily just to look like those celebs holding their caramel machiattos.
Come on don’t you and the clown who supported you know non-mainstream stuff? Oh right, how would you know? You’re just so cool for that.

Ok here are a few examples, I bet you 1 in 30 people would go hey let’s have coffee at Second Cup instead of Starbucks. Or maybe buy a cute bag from any normal store instead of a prada because talylor shwit carries one?

Second cup is a large multinational coffee chain and is therefore mainstream. If you want non mainstream you should be buying coffee from small local coffee shops that are not chains. The fact that you think that doesn’t count as mainstream is what’s hilarious about most people who complain about THE MAINSTREAM SHEEP

I don’t buy bags. Taylor swift wouldn’t influence me because I don’t listen to the radio or watch MTV. You think you aren’t mainstream but you are. What are your favorite movies and music? Probably something you think isn’t mainstream that is.

Ok music, heard of Luke Pickett? Brooke Fraser? BarlowGirl?… movies, haven’t watched any for a long while. Haven’t found anything that interests me.
Honey, you’re confusing mainstream with trends… everything is a trend, but when there’s so much of it everywhere that cities could throw it up that’s called maintream.

Yes mediocre Christian rock that was popular with my Christian friends in Chicago, gj you avoided having mainstream tastes but they’re not any good

FYI you actually got mainstream and trend mixed up

It doesn’t make any sense to censor the producers name yet not the movie. If you’re taking a stand against a product, you have to ban the product. I don’t see how covering the name achieves anything other than looking ridiculous. If they’re serious about this stuff, then they need to stop showing all hollywood stuff and only allow Al-Limbee and bollywood movies shown in their cinemas. Of course they would never do it because they would go bankrupt the first day.

They probably don’t want any trouble, Lebanon is a fragile society, one crazy man can wreck havoc that will last for years. Lebanon is still full of war hungry monkeys.

Lebanon is such a backward and third world country, people there seem very elitist and racist, thank God i don’t live there.
***Please understand why i wrote this***

TO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE… Are you being serious??!!! For Lebanon to do so you called that, ignorance, hypocrisy,stupidity,… etc BUT for the USA “which is fully controlled by Israel” to stop everyone whose name is Osama & Mohammad for strep-searching, monitoring,questioning and that’s in case they granted him a visa bcs of his SCAREY name to be of COMMON SENSE to all of you!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK!

Well many people (including yourself apparently) hate America, so they are responding to such people’s threats (including terrorist attacks).

However to remove someone’s name off a poster but allow the movie to be aired is simply retarded and it shames me as a Lebanese citizen to see such nonsense.

And whether you like it or not America and the West control the media and all the cool stuff you buy (iPhones etc).

So to the hipsters who are too cool for mainstream, give us a break. No one cares.

I don’t hate America! I am sick of this… Why do ppl try to be sooo smart & come-up with their own FAULTY conclusions!! Where in the hell did you read that “I hate America”!!!?? bcs I read my post again and did not read that in my post!!! Gasssh!!! FYI, I don’t hate America, I hate its policies which happens to be something we share with the rest of the world!

Here is a suggestion to you… Why don’t you go for a visit to the Holy Land.. & see how the Israelis are CENSORING signs to all holy sites by not allowing a single Arabic letter appear in them… How they forbidden any restaurant to include “Falafel” under their “oriental dishes” yet serve it in Jews restaurants as part of their culture. Hope I was really able to show you the real meaning of dumbness!Amazing how we turned to be a bunch of quitters turning only against each other! Sad

At least we keep the movie intact… not cut every word, kiss and short skirt scene…

And Mark, I wish you post something about Jeita and to vote for it.

@QTB … Glad to know that Israelis are victims… But killing Palestinians/Lebanese for the past 60 yrs is completely justified!!!! Thanks for the addition, I did not know that, neither does the rest of the world!

I’m assuming that they paid to air the movie. So now unknowingly they are enjoying and promoting another persons work with their money.

Also he is not a politician and he is a celebrity who is put in a situation to say and do the right thing. As an American Jew that means he supports Israel unless he wants a troubled career with no/limited connections or help.

So it’s a personal act. Still they should not censor somerhingbthat follows the format of other movies despite who made it. In fact if they don’t like who made it, then let that be inspiration for them to also create their own media/technology instead of blacklisting everything and resorting to buying things second hand anyways.

Also it can help to make people more open minded that people of different religions are making great contributions and this regional conflict should be approached differently instead of creating more gaps.

It’s not 1950, we are passed that point and things should be considered more realistically to find the best solution for the goals in mind. Realistic goals in mind which are still good goals to live by. I do not support violence, especially when creates more victims for the future.

So sick of all the HATE! What has it accomplished? Nothing but more hate and bloodshed. Children growing up in fear learning to hate.

Two wrongs don’t make a right and they (Palestinians and Israelis) are both equally wrong.

@ expatandthecity…May I ask you a question pls? What will you do when someone lets say a relative comes and all of the sudden steal your car??!! Will tell him, no problem or you will go & give him a hell of a time?? Well think of that and imagine how a whole country has been stolen, a history to be wiped-out, a people to massacre and holy sights to be destroyed & internationally forbidden weapons to be used against people who have nothing to fight with but stones!!! Put ur self in that exact position & look ur self in the mirror & say out & loud how wrong Palestinians are!!!!

I don’t want to take a side since the Palestinians are suffering, but the Israelis have established themselves. How much longer are the Arabs or Palestinians going to hang onto a dream they can not accomplish?

I have heard many times if they do not get want they want they will have an all out war. I am not against them getting what they want but how is fighting someone in power going to accomplish their goals when that power will neutralize their military pressure?

Eventually Israel will just drive out all the Palestinians and by that point it will be too late.

Kicking out Israelis from Israel is not going to happen. So Palestinians should get past that point which I am sure is not a fair thing to do considering what they have been through. But what are their choices?

I hope the best for them and a solution soon. Iran is turning up the heat on the situation and it’s looking very dangerous.

Btw there are Arab Jews living in Israel if that makes the situation more acceptable to see the Israelis as a neighbor with the Palestinians.

Yes, there are so many Jew Palestinians who live there & lived there for thousands of years along with the Muslims & Christians, guess what??? The Israelis are treating them as a “second class” citizens.. this is the problem with Zionist, they don’t want peace, they respect no other religion… and “YES” until the very last Palestinian soul, they will fight & “YES” Zionists will be kicked out… They may be well equipped with cutting edge machine guns but they r empty from the inside & will always live in fear bcs they are WRONG , it is not their land & they don’t have that bond with it nor the faith… After all, who said that a single soul of a poor roaming vegetable seller move nations? wait & see buddy, wait & see…

They have been waiting for decades. How much longer do people have to wait for the same result of just completing the peace process. There is nothing more than the peace process. All these little skirmishes just cause suffering and realease prisoners to cause more problems.

What plan should they wait for? For Gods punishment? Or for you to take control of your own destiny and apply it realistically and logically as God would want humans to do with the mind that he created for them to use.
