Ugh.

Please bear in mind, the above link leads straight into the belly of the beast: the September 11th forum. Abandon all hope, ye who enter there. Or at least wear SCUBA gear. The consensus seems to be that the film is propaganda, because 93 was *actually* shot down by an anti-aircraft missile.

But they liked Sunday Bloody Sunday.

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.

Have not seen it yet but saw David Beamer, Todds Father on FNC being interviewed by Cavuto. Off subject but was amazed at the resemblence to Logan on 24. I am talking facial expressions only, not to the character himself.

Medved thought it should be a PG-13. He said the violence was less than Lord of the Rings. No close-ups or anything like that. A few curse words as you mention. Medved could only think that the main reason it got an R is because the movie is so intense. I'll try to see it next weekend.

I'm going to take him, if he wants to see it- I think it's something he needs to understand - exactly what happened that day.

Had about 25 here at the 12:30pm showing here in Montgomery, TX. The crowd left with out a sound, and about 1/2 stayed and watched the credits all the way to the end. First film I have seen in a theater since the Passion.

This will be the first film I've seen in a theater since December, and that film was, umm... Rocky Horror. Which doesn't exactly count.

Probably the best FReeper review of all is from chris in nj. His father was Joe Driscoll, one of the heroes of Flight 93.

Rob what was the reaction to those viewing it with you?

[oxcart]

Just saw it this afternoon, going to wait on the beverage until 5:00pm here. :)

[Rakkasan1]

sounds like it should be shown in high school history classes .

[saxxa]

P.S...... I puts things very clearly in perspective.

[Paige]

Have they changed the design of the memorial? It isn't still shaped like a crescent moon is it? You know the emblem of Islam?

SEE IT THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE 10% of the GROSS REVENUE WILL GO TO THE MEMEORIAL FUND, as per Neil Cavuto's show with Todd Beamer's father, David Beamer and US Rep. Shuster, (R) PA.

Really? That's interesting... I'll pass that onto FReepers on my ping lists...

[saxxa]

There were several teens there escorted by a parent...I bet they were home schoolers. If it was not for the subject/material covered, it should of been rated PG.
