Reply #2: This seems like the worst kind of cultural arrogance [View All]

I mean, the U.S. army turning ancient ruins into a movie based tourist attraction. Think how outrageous the following would seem if treated the same way (note that the article implies a sort of fun-house atmosphere, floodlights, etc.):

The Parthenon - for "Xena, the Warrior Princess" fans
Stonehenge - for "Lord of the Rings" fans, perhaps
The Pyramids - for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" aficionados
The Coliseum - for those who really liked "Gladiator"
The Washington Memorial - for fans of "The Patriot"

And so on.

Just dreaming craziness like this up might be an amusing pub game, though.
