RUSH: Tomorrow, the movie United 93 opens, and I have seen the movie. I saw a screening a couple weeks ago, and I asked for an interview with the writer and the director, Paul Greengrass, and conducted that interview last week. It's for the upcoming issue of The Limbaugh Letter, and I want you to know how rare this is, folks. I can count on one hand the number of times over the course of many years that we have actually played audio excerpts of an interview in the Limbaugh Letter, and done so in advance of the issue coming...

When previews for "United 93" were shown in New York City moviehouses, the crowd whined, "Too soon!" But "United 93" is not arriving in theaters too soon. If anything, it is arriving too late. It has been almost five years since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and most Americans have fallen back to sleep. They've forgotten who our enemy is: extremist Islam. They've forgotten why the Patriot Act was enacted. They've forgotten why it was necessary to listen in on phone calls of Muslims in America to their friends overseas. They've forgotten why it is necessary that many Islamic charities...

Universal's new movie, "United 93," is about United Airlines Flight 93, hijacked on 9-11 by Islamic terrorists shortly after leaving Newark, N.J., for San Francisco. The terrorists intended to fly the plane to Washington, D.C., and crash it into the Capitol. Instead, the passengers fought back and forced the plane down in Pennsylvania, thereby saving the lives of any number of people on the ground in Washington and saving America from a devastating blow to its image. Incredibly there is some controversy about this film. Apparently many Americans are not "ready" to see a film about 9-11 "so soon" after...

RUSH: Yesterday afternoon at the conclusion of yesterday's program, I went over to a local theater to watch a private screening of United 93. I invited some people to go with me, and a number of them didn't want to go because they were just afraid it would knock 'em out, and you've heard some of the complaints from the theaters that have shown the trailer to this movie, the Upper West Side of New York and other places around the country. "No, no! It's too soon! It's too soon! I can't bear it!" It's not "too soon." If anything,...

On April 28, Universal is set to release "United 93," a full-length feature film about the events surrounding the fateful flight crashed by passengers in a field in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001. Previews in Los Angeles and New York have already drawn intense scrutiny and emotional reaction. Time reported that audience members in Hollywood shouted "Too soon!" as the trailer was screened; a New York theater actually pulled the trailer after audience complaints. The preview itself is straightforward. The first minute or so consists of typical flight commuting talk as passengers board flight 93 -- "unfortunately, it looks like...

The drumbeat continues from certain sectors of this country to make sure that the preview, the trailer for United 93, the new movie that opens on April 28th about the fourth hijacked airplane that did not hit its target, doesn't get shown. People are saying, "It's too soon. It's too soon, it offends me! It offends some people. It's too soon!" These are the same people that can't get enough of the Abu Ghraib photos, same people that can't get enough of the supposed torture and terror that was being committed at Club Gitmo. For all of you people out...

They showed a trailer of the upcoming movie about United 93, about 9/11. The AMC Loews theater in Manhattan's Upper West Side took the rare step of pulling the trailer for the upcoming movie "United 93" about 9/11 from its screens after several complaints, reports senior writer Sean Smith and reporter Jac Chebatoris in the April 10th issue of Newsweek, which is on the stands today. "'One lady was crying,' says one of the theater's managers, Kevin Adjodha. 'She was saying we shouldn't have [played the trailer]. That this was wrong ... I don't think people are ready for this.'"...
