gawd i am so sick of that term overused term “anti-semite”.

From Wikipedia:

The term Semite means a member of any of various ancient and modern Semitic-speaking peoples originating in southwestern Asia, including Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, Arabs, and Ethiopian Semites.

The following is a list of ancient Semitic peoples.

* Akkadians — migrated into Mesopotamia in the late 4th millennium BC and amalgamate with non-Semitic Mesopotamian (Sumerian) populations into the Assyrians and Babylonians of the Late Bronze Age.
* Eblaites — 23rd century BC
* Aramaeans — 16th to 8th century BC / Akhlames (Ahlamu) 14th century BC
* Ugarites, 14th to 12th centuries BC
* Canaanite language speaking nations of the early Iron Age:
o Amorites
o Ammonites
o Edomites
o Hebrews/Israelites — founded the nation of Israel which later split into the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. The remnants of these people became the Jews and Samaritans.
o Moabites
o Phoenicians — founded Mediterranean colonies including Carthage
* Old South Arabian speaking peoples
o Sabaeans of Yemen — 9th to 1st c. BC
* Ethio-Semitic speaking peoples
o Aksumites — 4th c. BC to 7th c. AD
* Arabs, Old North Arabian speaking Bedouins
o Gindibu's Arabs 9th c. BC
o Lihyanites — 6th to 1st c. BC
o Thamud people — 2nd to 5th c. AD
o Ghassanids — 3rd to 7th c. AD
o Nabataeans — adopted Arabic in the 4th century AD

How about we just say anti-J3w?

Starting tomorrow, Mel Gibson fans will get to see the “Lethal Weapon” star act like a cop again in the thriller “Edge of Darkness.” There are no plans for Riggs and Murtaugh to team up anytime soon (as far as we know), but we learn today that Gibson will soon pal around in a gun-toting, crime-fighting duo again. That's a good thing, right?

While we won't be seeing Danny Glover forming the other half of that duo — remember… he's too old for this s–t — the classic action/comedy cop series will still get a reunion of sorts. “Lethal Weapon” writer Shane Black will direct Gibson in “Cold Warrior,” Variety reports. This will be Black's sophomore effort as a director, following up 2005's “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.”

The story, from a script by newcomer Chuck Mondry, follows a retired Cold War-era spy who answers the call once again, in the name of disrupting Russian plans to commit terrorist acts on American soil. If that sounds familiar, it's because “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2″ served up a similar storyline. Hopefully the U.S. spies in “Cold Warrior” won't meet the same fate as the CIA agent in that game. Gibson will play the called-out-of-retirement spy and an unnamed younger actor will play his partner.

This is good news, I think. I'm sort of looking forward to “Edge of Darkness” this weekend, seeing Gibson step in front of the camera as a do-gooder once again. And him teaming with Black for what amounts to some buddy cop action — buddy agent action, if you want to be a jerk about it — is great. Here's hoping that Mondry's script captures the same sense of fun that marks Black's other films, particular the “Lethal Weapon” series and “The Last Boy Scout.”

Also, it's a great day when a “Last Boy Scout” reference can make its way onto the blog. That is all.

Are you seeing “Edge of Darkness” this weekend? Are you a bigger fan of Gibson the actor or Gibson the filmmaker? What do you make of “Cold Warrior”?
