Jamie Lee Curtis Indirectly Bashes Bush

[Khephra]

True Lies 2: Coming Soon spoke with Jamie Lee Curtis recently who touched upon the possibility of a sequel to the 1994 action/comedy and its not good news - "'True Lies 2' will never get made. Never happen. You know why? I found out why. Because terrorists aren't funny anymore. They never were, but, it was distant enough from our psyche that we could make it funny. It'll never be funny again. I just think that that is over, that kind of humor is over". Curtis went into detail that the project was pretty much all set to go right up till 9-11 happened when it fell apart, so what if they changed the enemy now to something else though as there's hints its still moving forward?

"Unless they come up with some sort of businessman, make it about Republican businessmen who are evil, and then, you know, then we can make it. Maybe they'll make it about...I know, an American presidency, with kind of, I know, and we'll have the guy not be so bright, oh, that's great!...No, instead I think if they do that, then they'll probably call and say they have another idea, but based on the original concede, it'll be that somehow a bad guy group is doing something bad to humanity and the world".

I saw the film when I was 12, and watching Jamie's strip-tease convorting affirmed for me that I was indeed a heterosexual. That little black dress, MY GOD!!!
