I'm going tonight right after work.
I encourage everyone who possibly can to do likewise, because:
1) 10% of the gross goes to the families of the victims this weekend.
2) A higher opening weekend gross will generate good press.
3) A higher opening weekend gross will inflate the value of my HSX portfolio, where I'm holding United 93 at 49. I suspect it could be my biggest gain since The Passion of the Christ.
I agree ... I'm planning to see it tomorrow...I feel a responsibility to see it. These heroes deserve nothing less than for us to realize what they did as ordinary passengers on an extraordinary flight. God knows the ultimate repercussions of that flight, had the beasts been successful in their mission.
Roger Ebert gave it 2 thumbs up
"It is not too soon for "United 93," because it is not a film that knows any time has passed since 9/11. The entire story, every detail, is told in the present tense. We know what they know when they know it, and nothing else. Nothing about Al Qaeda, nothing about Osama bin Laden, nothing about Afghanistan or Iraq, only events as they unfold. This is a masterful and heartbreaking film, and it does honor to the memory of the victims." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God bless the heroes and families of United 93 ~~~ "No greater love hath a man than to give his life for his friends."
