Upcoming movies

After 9/11, while George W. Bush was US President, almost no movies were made portraying America and its soldiers in a good light. Almost no movies were made portraying the great dramatic story of the age - the War on Islamism. The Iraq War started in 2003, but not a single pro-Iraq War movie was made before Bush left office in Jan 2009. There was an endless stream of crap anti-war movies.

One of the few benefits of Obama's election in 2008 was that finally Hollywood made some pro-war movies.



Upcoming movies supportive of the war (and some other related movies)




A Hijacking (2012).
Movie about Somali jihad pirates.



Reagan (2024).
It took 36 years, but finally a movie about the greatest American President.





Upcoming movies against the war (and some other related movies)



Camp X-Ray (2014).
About Guantanamo POW camp. Sympathetic to the jihadi prisoners.
More simple-minded Hollywood propaganda for the jihad, from people who don't understand it.





Other upcoming movies

It is unclear what these movies will be like.


  1. The Infidel (2010), written by David Baddiel.

  2. Tere Bin Laden, Indian comedy film about a fake Bin Laden video.

  3. Motorcade, to be directed by Len Wiseman. Terrorists attack the president's motorcade. With Obama now in office, will the Americans be the good guys? Will the terrorists be Islamic?

  4. Nagasaki Deadline, to be directed by Spike Lee, who made a major movie glorifying the Muslim racist fanatic Malcolm X. This is about a race to thwart two terrorist attacks on American soil. Will the terrorists be Islamic?

  5. Hereafter (2010) has a scene featuring (or similar to) the London 7/7 bombings.

  6. Red Dawn (2012). The US is faced with communist invasion from North Korea.
    • The left-wing Irish Times hates it. Which would normally be a good sign, except they make a good point: That the bad guys were meant to be China, but it was changed to avoid offending the Chinese market. Which hardly makes this a proud moment in right-wing movie history!
    • More worringly, they also say of the hero: "Hemsworth, a former marine, draws a moral equivalence between the Wolverines and insurgents in Iraq." Another review says he is inspired by both jihadis and the Vietcong! What kind of right-wing movie is this?

Banned in Iran: This site is banned in Iran.

Blocked on X by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on X.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on X.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on X (formerly Twitter) at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter (renamed to X) seems to be saved.

Campaigns to silence me: I now have no less than two entries on the Banned List at Academics for Academic Freedom. This is a list of "individuals who were banned from speaking at universities in the UK and Ireland, or faced campaigns to silence them, or sack them for their views." The two campaigns to silence me were the BLM protests in 2021 (unsuccessful) and the Israel debate in 2024 (partially successful, in that it drove the debate off campus).
