The whole point of Hostel was to show the perils of being the Ugly American. It was a specifically political statement about America's arogance toward and disregard for the rest of the world. The leads were assholes who got what they had coming because they view Europe as a place to buy pleasure without repurcussions.

And I've meet Eli, he's really nice and cool and quite goofy. Not a serial rapist.

I am very glad to hear that :)

Isn't that stereotyping Americans? I guess he's fighting what he thinks is fire with his own brand of flames but I know a lot of people who have gone to Europe and I think 99% of them have been nothing but respectful. Ah well, like I said, I'm waiting to see if he really has a good horror in him somewhere. He's had a couple of decent films so far but nothing with real soul.

He's streotyping the "Ugly American"

it's a pretty old concept that still rings true. Not all Americans are the "Ugly American" hell, not even half of them are, but there are a TON of them out there.:mad:

That can be said of many peoples though. Ah well, it really doesn't matter. Has anybody read King's Cell yet? Is it viable source material for Eli? I'd hate to see him direct a movie based on a bad book, not so soon in his career. At least he'll have time to bounce back if it's not good though.

didn't care for hostel much

but I very much enjoyed Cabin Fever.... I loved the dark feel to it, the comedy, and most of all it is realistic!

I pretty much will not drink water from a cabin as long as I live
