New Benghazi film looks to provide even more confusion as to what happened the day 4 Americans died in Libya.

The film is directed by the guy who brought us the Transformer movies and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which probably tells you all you need to know about the accuracy of this film.

Here Vox has more: 

Based on the trailer, it appears that Bay's movie will attempt to squeeze and contort the painful events of Benghazi into a neat and emotionally satisfying narrative: Brave American military heroes must overcome cowardly suits and shoot a bunch of bad guys so that they may save the day. That should sound familiar; it's one of Hollywood's half-dozen or so standard cookie-cutter action movie plot lines. 

The plot sketched out in the trailer is a reassuring and simple checklist of action movie tropes, like a security blanket for the audience, protecting them from the scary complexities of the real world. Tough, bearded American men must survive in a hostile land, which fortunately is easy because they are tough and bearded and willing to "die for your country." 

Then a bad thing happens — brown people! explosions! — and the heroes fly into action. Shooting bad guys is no problem for these heroes, so surely victory is imminent. 

But wait: A bureaucrat, played by an actor known for portraying weak, feckless men on various TV shows, tells the brave bearded men that they're not allowed to go bravely shoot the bad guys. The audience cannot help but hate the cowardly bureaucrat, and be happy when the bearded man shouts him down. The brave bearded heroes, the trailer suggests, will Do the Right Thing, even if that means defying orders. But will the heroes be heroic in time? Or will the bad orders from the cowardly bureaucrat ruin everything?

So as even the casual, non-Fox viewing, person probably knows, that is NOT an accurate depiction of what happened that day in Benghazi.

But hell it makes an exciting movie so who cares if it helps to perpetuate a lie or negatively impacts a presidential campaign?

This film will undoubtedly rally the conservatives who want desperately to believe in its red, white, and blue rah rah message that we could totally have killed all of those brown people and rescued our precious white brothers if only the sniveling Obama appointed bureaucrats had not interfered.

And much the same way that the movie "Zero Dark Thirty" forever reinforced the idea that we killed Osama Bin Laden based on intelligence that we tortured out of another brown person, this will now serve as the contemporary wisdom for the low information crowd.

In fact the conservative media is already salivating over the potential impact this film might have in undermining the truth. 

Egypt bans movie "Exodus." Gee I wonder what they found offensive?

Courtesy of the BBC:  

Egypt has banned a Hollywood film based on the Biblical book of Exodus because of what censors described as "historical inaccuracies". 

The head of the censorship board said these included the film's depiction of Jews as having built the Pyramids, and that an earthquake, not a miracle by Moses, caused the Red Sea to part. 

According to the book of Exodus, Jewish slaves were led to freedom by Moses after God inflicted a series of plagues on Egypt. 

The Pyramids are believed to have been built about 1,000 years before the story of the Exodus. 

The Biblical story tells how the Red Sea was parted by a miracle performed by God through Moses, allowing the Jewish people to escape from the pursuing Egyptian army.

So being accused of enslaving the Jewish people, having a god drop toads on the heads of your people, and having many of your forefathers drowned in the Red Sea for trying to murder a religious icon. all of which is completely false, apparently rubs some people the wrong way.

Go figure.
