<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#009999">I saw a preview for this the other day with Nicolas Cage. While it looks good from the point of a movie I am a little upset that thay are making this movie at this current time. The event is still too fresh in my mind and actually made me feel a little sick watching the preview. It is like hollywood is insulting my intelligence by thinking we need to be reminded so soon. That or they are trying to make a quick buck, either way it makes me sick and I will not be going to see or support this movie.</font>

I saw that it was an Oliver Stone movie and felt ill, Flight 93 while visually brutal made no statements, and merely retold as much of the story as was ever known, and filling in probable events as they likely would have occured.
I dunno, I guess I know Stone and it sickens me that he's most likely going to use this as a chance to tout his politics. Is it too soon? perhaps, but they've been very careful to not show the footage from that September day, sometimes a reminder is needed...

Ya, personally i'd prefer it if hollywood stayed well away from major events in world history until it actually becomes history.

I think some things do not need to be sensationalized in movies. It is one thing to have a well researched documentary on a tradagy but to make it into a movie for entertainment, does not sit well with me.

<font color=skyblue>I agree with all the above statements...I see this as a guy trying to make money off of a dark day and probably push some anti-Bush statement.
I do not go to movies for such things. To me, movies are for entertainment, not messages.</font>

I think its totally f*cking ridiculous. I just saw the preview on TV and it irked me. Especially when your mother watched the towers collapse and know people that died. Especially when thousands, if not millions of people were affected by this.
Shame on Hollywood, and on whatever company signed on to produce this. |

All money should be going to the families that lost loved ones.
This guy sucks at making movies anyways.

Too Soon?
WTF, Is there ever a good time to exploit and make money of the death of thousands of people, I hate this stupid "Lets pretend wee are righteous and oh so civilized"-itiotic phrase, I mean is there some sort of a statute of limitation here or? An hey people have been making money and fame out of these tragic events since the week it happened, hexk you even used it to justify a invasion, so why suddenly get upset when the degenerates in hollywood start doing their thing...? |
