I don't know if I'm really ready to see a 9/11 movie myself yet.

However, this good review is a sign that the movie is not exploitive and makes a very accurate and detailed reenactment of the movie. I'm not against the movie personally and anyone who does decide to see it will not receive any protest from me.

I think about 9-11 everyday but I just can't go to see this happen again. I was at home recovering from hip replacement surgery and happened to turn on FNC, having never watched it, but started to watch as everyone was speculating about what appeared to be a small plane having crashed into the first tower. I watched awhile and saw the second plane bank hard and hit the second tower. Too much for me to see it again.

I later saw the documentary by a French film crew that just happened to be following a firehouse in New York when the planes hit. In one scene in one of the still-standing towers, you kept on hearing loud bangs in the atrium. Someone explained that it was the sound of bodies crashing from above.

But if this movie can get those Americans who have forgotten what happened that day and what the War on Terrorism is all about, I'm all for it.

I think the MSM is really pushing this whole "too soon" argument (it's been four years; that's like saying no WWII movies could be made until after the war ended) because movies like this remind people of what we're actually fighting about. They've spent all the time since 9/11 burying the footage of the Towers falling and trying to convince us that America is the villain, Bush is the world's biggest terrorist, we're the consciousless animals who torture people, etc, etc, ad nauseum. A movie like this might slap people back to reality and bring them out of their media-created fog of propaganda, which would undo all their ceaseless work to undermine our defenses and get liberals elected back into power. So they must discourage people from seeing it at all costs.

Just stay in the Matrix and pay no attention to little glitches like this movie!

Bump.

I'll be there on Friday to see this movie and pay my respects and get mad at the terrorists again. I have not forgotten, but I have become less angry about 9-11 as the shock has worn off. I want to remember how that day felt and I think America needs to remember as well.

But then, I think the planes flying into the towers should be shown on news stations at least once a week until the war is over, maybe during the opening credits.

I am amazed that the terrorists have not been transformed into right wing industrialist Christians.

If not for the actions of the doomed passengers of United Flight 93, the United States might not have a Capitol Building.

We must never forget? OK. Have we forgotten Pearl Harbor, the Alamo, Normandy? Did we need an 'entertainment vehicle', a 'star studded blockbuster' to remember any of those? Gina Lolobrigida and Fabian with walk-in roles, and of course Telly Sevalas? What would a historical melodrama be without Telly Sevalas? To borrow a line from the DaVinci Code threads: it's fiction, people!

I will go see it. If it will make me angry again, hell yeah.

Have you forgotten?

I'll probably see United 93, but theres no freaking way I'll sit through an Oliver Stone history re-write.
