I mean come on. Terrorists don't even have subs. How the hell can you make a modern submarine movie when your principal enemy is Islamic millitants? The Hunt for Red Dinghy? You don't need sonar to track that, and you sure as hell don't need to blow it out of the water with a torpedo.....

Or DO YOU?!?!? Maybe life without the Cold War ain't so bad after all!
 
Don't forget, you actually had to worry about the end of civilization during the Cold War. The mid west actually had things to worry about with being next to military bases and all.

And even when they have good material for an Islamic terrorist movie, they f*&^ it up. I'm looking at you, Sum of All Fears, and your damn neo-Nazis. :p

Yeah that was stupid. However the studios didn't like the idea of showing terrorists successfully popping a nuke off in the US. Thought it wouldn't sit well with the audience :)

Ah, but it would do well with the terrorist demographic.
