Wars Yet another Phantom Menace review I'm afraid, this time from '24framespersecond'. But the title, The Return of the Sambo, explains why I'm posting: "I was completely taken aback by the pageantry of racial burlesques that was paraded on the screen in front of me. Had I not been treated to the movie by a friend, I would have surely walked out in disgust. Why are we allowing Hollywood to thrust upon us portrayals so stereotyped and humiliating that ?Amos and Andy? would seem Shakespearean in comparison? In light of the World Trade Center disaster, I shutter to think of how Arabs will now be portrayed."
