When our generation ripped off "Seven Samurai", we called it "The Magnificent Seven" and crafted a Western story out of it, changed from Japanese swordmasters. Now, they just re-shoot the same dead horse and fly in some dead horse CGI, call it "Magnificent Seven 2004".

This generation just doesn't know how to steal with integrity. I don't mind a thief, but I detest a thief who can't steal with some moral ingenuity. The kids these days...

I do think this thread has great cinematic potential. It's like the Blair Witch Project only scarier, documenting the chillingly bloody first-hand twists and turns of political upheaval in a dark and surreal landscape of intriguing governmental nuance, over-adjectively replete with more charged buzzwords than a score of dictionaries could hold. In short, "Three Days of the Manchurian Condor Meets The Contender With All The President's Men". But of course, our dully kreative progeny will record it simply as "Politics for Pros — Moderated — 2525".
