Filipinos and Filipino culture were in the country long before WW2.

You have misunderstood my point. American Imperialism is a fact of life. Like it or not.

You are the one who wrote:"If the US had imperialistic designs, the world would have been ours for the taking after WWII...."

I was simply pointing out that your statement is not relevant.

Your attempt to put words in my mouth about American Cultural Imperialism is not valid. I'm not talking about US cultural imperialism(which competes with many other cultures) but military and business imperialism(which is overwhelming).

As for having anything for sale, you have the wrong number.

I have a brilliant idea! :))

Re:And what about folks like Jackie Chan, who's movies I LOVE?? (Hawkmoon)

Oh, now I see :)

I propose we all post a list of our top five favorite movies of all time :) Think about it. Wouldn't it be good to be able to understand each other on a more personal level, to see some extent where we are coming from?

OK, here I go:
eXistenZ (David Cronenberg)
Memento (Christopher Nolan)
2001 - A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick)
Fight Club (David Fincher)
Dark City (Alex Proyas)

I may have missed a few favorites but they can always be in the first ten list, I guess :)
