Any chance you have watched the Transporter movies (as in Transporter and Transporter 2)?
We have a huge tv here supplied by the university which, being huge, dominates half of the living room. Usually, at home back in Norfolk, I self-righteously (albeit very wisely) keep my tv on a wheeled cart parked in a corner behind a door. When you can't see the TV you are never tempted to watch it. And I never do (though I do wheel the A.V. cart, which it essentially is, out and watch movies.)
But, as I was saying, here the huge f'ing TV demands to be turned on, not onlike the tv in a hotel room.
Helpfully, we get a Korean movie channel called OCN that also plays American movies, albeit odd choices. Last month it was all Keanu Reeves films for some reason. This month it is all the Transporter. And Transporter 2, which is better. It doesn't take much to be better, but at least the film basically knows that it is stupid and doesn't take itself seriously.
My question is if you have found the films to be racist. All of the black characters seem to be caricatures of the most extreme variety. All get their asses kicked rather thoroughly and rapidly, and all receive this ass kicking with wide eyes and unseemly lavishing from the camera. Or maybe I am just imagining it.
