9. This has NOTHING to do with the movie.

Did you see Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close?
It's about a kid whose dad dies in the WTC and then finds some personal effects and goes on a scavenger hunt.
9/11 is only in it because that's how his dad dies. In fact, even the advertising went to great lengths saying "this is not a movie about 9/11".
So, how on earth is it pathetic coverage when the movie has NOTHING to do with how or why it happened?
