    Default WTC Movie rant....

    *ahem*


    Fuck you WTC movie. Fuck you for thinking we need a movie for such a horrid event. FUck you for cashing in on something that NO ONE will forget even without your movie. Fuck you for thinking actors and directors have ANY idea of what that day was like. Fuck you for trying to sap up and romanticize how we felt that day. Fuck you for trying to fictitously portray us NYers. Fuck you for assuming that your script writers know how we felt and what we thought and fuck your creative liscence.

    So... It fucking sucked is what you're trying to say? Heh.

    I have absolutely no interest in seeing this whatsoever. I won't line Hollywood's pockets, rewarding them for cashing in on one of the most horrific events that I've seen. Fuck them.

    I wouldn't write off all 9-11 movies. I thought BOTH "Flight 93" movies were good.

    The bad thing about these movies I think, is that so many of us are asking "Why?"

    i love nicolas cage as an actor, but i really am disappointed he chose to act in this. it really is too soon. i refuse to watch any of those 9/11 films for that reason.

    I heard that all the pofits are going to a memorial for that day. Maybe it was the new building or something like that.

    They should have left up the twin lights. A new building means a new target.

    Well, movies have been made about the Titanic, the Holocaust, the Vietnam War, the JFK assassination, etc.

    The fact that the movie is being made IMO isn't a big deal, but that fact that it's being made only 5 years after the attacks is what seems extremely distasteful.

    I don't really have an interest in seeing this movie.....but I noticed that Nicholas Cage looked very weird as a cop in the commercials. Spooky creepy weird.

    I wont see the movie because im afriad it would bring back too many emotions and sorrow.

    However, if the profits from this movie., go to the families that still haven't recieved the social security and such funds ( because believe me there are some out there. ) to the children of the victims... in trust funds

    Or to building a memorial.

    im all for it. I'll pay for a ticket., i just wont see it.

    I believe its important that the day is NEVER forgotten that the tragedy and the lossI think we all felt.. should never be looked past.

    I just feel things like this should take the profits and donate towards the people it directly effected. As a NY born girl, a former resident and someone who lost her roommate in the 1st tower., This is what I feel the money should go to.

    Since we all know the goverment was slow to ever pay out.

    Amen to all of this Tart, except two bits.

    Why just the profits from the movie? Why should silly old Nicky Cage and stoned out old Ollie Stone each make whatever it is they made to make this? Seen their houses lately? I'd say all revenue taken in from this movie should go to families and memorials. When my whole ten bucks goes directly to families/memorials of the tragedy, I'll buy us both tickets, Tart. Hell, I'll buy us two each, and skittles.

    What I'm most concerned about giving Oliver Stone license to memorialize what has become the defining tradgedy of our time. He is provocative, yes, and someone you love or hate. This is the dude who did NBK, and he's doing 9/11? Hmm. The man who has already done the defining tragedy of one generation (the death of JFK) on screen and told us it was really cross dressing , gay, anti-Castro Cubans, ("back, and to the right, back and to the right") in what was hardly a memorial, and we're trusting him to do this?

    Raise you hand if you just aren't convinced this is really not the guy.

    It's too bad. I think that, even this early, a good movie could be one, note I say one, strong memorial to a terrible, terrible day, and not just a money making ploy. Tart mentions that the day should never be looked past, and we all agree. Movies become part of our culture. If our 911 movies made us proud/sad/hopeful, that would be be good. If all we get is "back, and to the right," if that's what this tragedy gives us, then hollywood really has learned nothing.

    Ok, stopping now. All worked up.

    Well said Paige. I will not see any of these movies. At least Flight 93 (or whatever it was called) agreed to not use any big Hollywood names, etc, but I do not feel that anyone should be made rich on such tragedy ESPECIALLY while it is still fresh in everyone hearts, minds, what have you. These people, like Oliver Stone, think they are being so 'wonderful' by donating 10% of the first weekend's profits and to me, that is sickening. Why not donate 10% of ALL profits, or 100% of the first weekend's profits? IMO, it is just a marketing ploy to get people to go see the movie that first weekend, so that they can feel as if they are 'helping the cause'.

    As for this movie, it makes me sick to think of how soon after Sept 11th that they started filming. Yeah, it's taken a while to come out, but they started filming a while ago and I don't know how Oliver Stone, Nicholas Cage or anyone else involved can look themselves in the mirror every morning knowing that they are cashing in on such an experience. And beleive me - these pompous assholes are thinking that they are doing this country a favor. UGH.

    let's hope that the movie is a bit more 'objective' than some of Oliver Stone's earlier films ... specifically where the 'Witches of East Brunswick' factor is involved - i.e. that there can be no discussion/portrayal of 9/11 events which deviates from the views of 9/11 survivors and widows.

    I see kids at my blockbuster pick up the Flight 93 B title we have and be all "Lets see this cool" and I want to punch them. Hard. Cool? COOL?

    As for a time limit? I didnt watch Titanic. I think its still tacky. War movies dont do much for me. Movies based on tragedy dont do a damned thing for me. Really? I only watched ONE 9/11 movie. One. It's called The Guys. I liked it. I think it did something good in how and who it portrayed.
