The only people likely to object to this film are those who don't want Americans to become aware of just how conscienceless, cruel and depraved our enemy is, or those who think that our enemies can always be negotiated with and therefore object to depicting Americans actually fighting back.

That describes the MSM, and just about every movie critic.

My dentist told me that just yesterday...

"I agree with your assessment of Americans being treated like babies. I have mixed feelings in some ways because I don't want the victims' families to see their family and friends death be sensationalized or exploited."

In other words, treat them like babies?

"IN MEMORIAM"....a DVD depicting events in NYC on 9/11/01.
.. made and produced by OF ALL PEOPLE "HBO"...I strongly recommend the DVD..it's about the attack...not politics..not back biting, it's about the response and how America works. It's about what America's about...it's people.
I watch it every anniversary, or when ever ...I need to.
It has the very same results every time too....anger,sorrow,
amazement,and pride. It really places "todays" headlines where they belong, in the comics section. The political bickering is just politics, all fighting for their nonproductive lives, making the most of what common sense should clearly show the answer to be...but alas, it's politics......get the documentary movie, watch it , and yes relive it,don't ever forget.

Damn! How did you know? About the flossing, I mean?

Yeah, having done my little autonomy thing, I think that the anti-American media and kulchur (or should that be "Kulchah"?) don't want us to see what the islamofascists have actually done because it justifies Guantanamo and interferes with their campaign to portray Dubya as a vengeful idiot instead of someone steadfastly defending us.

Going to New York May. I want to see the crash site. I hope I can keep my temper

...it may not be your temper that you will find needs controlling

You need to be beaten more frequently.

Wow! I feel better already! I think. No, wait, I'm SURE!

"Does anyone know what "politically inspired words" appear at the end?"


No muslims were hurt in the making of this film ;)

Oh, someone here on FR was insisting everyone see it in a thread last week, and pretty much said that if you didn't, you were a Michael Moore fan, a bad American, a dog-licker, and someone who didn't like apple pie.

[RushLake]

If there aren't any queers or pro-abortion activists prominently highlighted, preferrably portrayed as victims of the VRWC, this movie will not get a mention at the Oskars. "Its just too soon"!

[JZelle]

4 out of 5 dentists recommend seeing this film!

[linda_22003]

Well, you got me pegged.

The hygienist is ALWAYS nagging me about flossing more.

"If this is so, it is an ode to the weakening of the American people."

That was one of my first reactions about hearing people complain about it. The most annoying one was in Hollywood with the pre-screening crowd saying "Too soon." Well, excuse me, but f*** Hollywood's opinion. If left up to them, we'd never have a movie about this, just more apologism for terror from Clooney and his ilk.

"A movie about the heroes of flight 93? Nah, that's too controversial. Let's do a movie about the abuses we insinuate are happening in Gitmo."

[armymarinemom]

Liberals make me want to puke. They say it is too soon for a movie but we have been at war too long. Translation: I just want to see what makes me happy! Self centered pukes.

[RushLake]

I knew when I wrote that that I risked having some hyper-sensitive liberal wannabe strike back. Congratulations, you struck.

I knew that Mark Bingham was openly gay. I watched the TV program about flight 93 about 9 months ago wherein his mother made sure that all viewers knew that. I hardly think it is germane to the events of flight 93. There were many heros on that flight, and if some of them were "gay", so what? My point was in reference to the fact that Hollywierd seems only to honor films that put people's homosexuality front and center (Most recently Brokeback Mountain and Capote). If the movie does not in some way dwell upon and highlight Mark Bingham's homosexuality and make it a central theme of the movie, the chances of an Oscar for the movie are very slim.

Feel free to report me to the diversity committee.

My comment didn't pertain to this film in any way, so it might help to actually read the comment I was responding to as well as what I actually stated in my post rather than taking one line out of context. I was referring to the news showing more violent footage of actual terrorist acts such as beheadings and the real films from 9/11 that showed burning bodies falling hundreds of feet onto pavement. I believe that is what the other poster was referring to when they stated "and I resent to this day the decision to treat American citizens as children --- while the rest of the world, including our enemy -- islam -- was able to see all the unedited images.

[Naptowne]

If you actually took the effort to read my post you would see that I think the US media should show more images of terrorist violence. The comment you took out of the context of my actual statement pertained to the fact that despite my beliefs I can sympathize with victims' families who might be arguing against CBS showing their loved ones have their heads cut off on national television. People on this forum should take the effort to read any post to which they decide to respond.
