It’s bad enough Hollywood lefties have to make a point of slamming a Republican in their movies. They seem to forget who actually buys their DVDs while liberal kids rip them off the Internet. But that didn’t stop one from using the progressive code word “jingoistic” and “Captain America” in the same interview.
We’re sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers. He’s a guy that wants to serve his country but he’s not a flag-waver. We’re reinterpretating sort of what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was.
“reinterpretating”…
He wants to serve his country, but he’s not this sort of jingoistic American flag-waver. He’s just a good person.
— Joe Johnson, director
And so we don’t offend the rest of the world, “Captain America: The First Avenger” will be presented as “The First Avenger” in “certain” countries. But who are we to criticize a Hollywood intellectual heavyweight whose prior credits include “Jurassic Park III” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”….
As I recall, Steve Rogers volunteered for the Super Soldier program because he was frail and unable to be drafted during WW2. I’m willing to bet in this rewrite he’s subjected to the program by a shadowy cabal who wants Captain America to work for them and he rebels.
Captain America not a flag waiver? What is his suoer costume then? Or am I seeing things?
What country was that? With the new World Order, there isn’t any need for flags, because we’ll be all one world. Turn him loose on all the Carbon Dioxide emitting villainous sources, until not a molecule of carbon dioxide is released.
Tallyman, don’t hold your breath!

Why not just complete the twisted liberal cycle and make him a muslim.
yes, “Captain America” wearing his red, white and blue costume, with stars on it. That suspiciously looks like an American flag. Is not a flag waver.
Thanks for posting this, you just saved me 20-40 dollars off of a wasted movie.
Reinterpretating? I’m with ya on that one, Bob. It seems the guy’s been reading too many comic books and not enough regular ones. Does he think he’s being articulate by using a word that’s not even a word? Where is the liberal media to chastise this comic-booker like they did Palin for ‘refudiate’? Where? Where? Where?????
I actually got a kick out of “Jurassic Park 3″ and “Honey I shrunk the kids”.
Cap NOT a flag waver? please..

First, in the movie, “GI Joe”, Joe was not “a real American hero”, now Captain America can’t wave flags. Hollywood is sinking in excrement. I don’t believe I will watch.
The Declaration Entertainment project is very interesting to me, I like the idea of making movies outside the Hollywood mainstream. Check it out:

It;s a Bill Whittle project, and I’m a fan of his, as I am of Bob’s. Both have prominent roles in the Conservative’s efforts to communicate conservative views. To each other, and everyone else. If anyone is interested, give this a look!
