"You kept me alive!"
I wasn't skeptical when I was invited to a private screening of Oliver Stone's upcoming "World Trade Center" movie. I was downright cynical. As a conservative I've long considered so much of his work the bane of my existence. From "Platoon" to "Salvador" to "Born on the Fourth of July" to "JFK," and let's not forget last year's ghastly "Alexander," Stone has delivered one left-wing screed after another, specifically intended, I'm convinced, to bring my blood to the boiling point. When I learned a few months ago that he was working on a project about 9/11, I fully expected another tiresome, loathsome Bush-lied-thousands-died production designed to titillate the Michael Moore left-wing fringe.

From the previews I've seen, it looks pretty good. Hmmmmm.....
Wow. That was quite an endorsement!
It stands to reason that this film will not be getting good reviews from the liberal press.
So far, I've heard nothing but good things about this.
I don't understand why anyone wants to go to a 9/11 film. I'd rather stay home and stick pins in my arm than re-live that.
Were you paid for that review?
And pigs fly.
Oliver Stoned delivers a good one?
Let me get back up to my chair...
Bozell has pretty high stock in my book, so if he says it's that good, I might just actually pay to see it. :)
I'm going to see it because of this recommendation.
Movie Ping
Holy crap, could that web site cram in any more annoying advertising along with the story?
Ya. Frankly, I had about all of that day I ever wanted, on that day.
If I have kids, maybe I'll show them a 9/11 movie or two. But me? I was "there".
With all the flashy graphics we see during the intros on a lot of newcasts, I wonder what would be the result (beyond the initial liberal outcry) if a newscast had the testicular fortitude to have a brief image from 9/11 in their opening every night.
Food for thought........
Fer cryin' out loud!!! Could those vibrating banner ads be just a little more annoying?!?!?
Looks like hyperdrama.
Wow.
Democrats write letters to the editor for my local newspaper every single day trashing Bush and the war. I'd like them to see this movie.
