Does anyone plan to see "Flight93" ?

[redwitch]

I don't plan to see it, it still seems like it just happened and I would find it far too upsetting. If I never see the footage of the planes hitting the towers it would be too soon. Jesus what a nightmare this new millenium has been so far.

[Chimichurri]

1. i've no interest in seeing it.

[sam sarrha]

2. no.. not when it can be considered propaganda to justify invading Iraq

[GregD]

3. nope - don't need no mo propoganda

[Vinnie From Indy]

4. No!

The movie appears to be a continuation of the propaganda that has empowered BushCo to shred the Constitution and embark on perpetual war.

[hatrack]

5. All things considered, no, thanks, but no.

I've had the bloody shirt waved for going on five years now, and that's about enough, to say nothing of how the family and friends of those who were on board must feel about it.

Feh.

[madeline_con]

6. Is it going ot be an opportunity for the Repugs to exploit the

victims to drum up support for more war by scaring everybody?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. No.

Doesn't matter if it was well-done, or if the families are OK with it. It's just too disturbing.

[Obamarama]

8. Not just no, but HELL NO.

My partner died in a commercial plane crash 19 years ago, so no...I'm not going to see a movie about a plane crashing into the ground, even of the circumstances were vastly different.

If I were a family member of a flight 93 passenger, I would be livid that this movie was being made. It's nothing but exploitation.

[cynatnite]

9. Yes

I think it's an important story that needs told about the people involved.

[maddiejoan]

10. I would --

--if it was a comedy starring Leslie Nielsen.

[bluerum]

11. No.

[cboy4]

12. Nope. Just like I'd have no interest in seeing a movie about the

space shuttle exploding or Scott Peterson killing Laci.

It's not like you could even learn anything watching Flight 93, because I've said this already:

Nobody knows EXACTLY what happened aboard that plane.

[datadiva]

13. No,

I can't watch that. We've got enough crap to deal with without going over that. Way too soon for me. :cry:

[zulchzulu]

14. I'll probably see it knowing what REALLY happened...see crowd reaction...

...maybe hand out some fliers or leave within reach of viewers...

[onehandle]

15. No. nt

[Maraya1969]

16. NO eom

[hopeisaplace]

17. no.

[hlthe2b]

18. no!

[DIKB]

19. A good idea would be

to go to the theater as the movie is letting out, and hand out fliers telling people to google and watch "911 Loose Change"

It plays for free in the google video player, and critical thinking is a lot better than some emotional appeal to nationalism.

[EOTE]

57. Wow...

I'm watching this Loose Change documentary as I type this. I'm aware of much of what it's saying, but it's shocking to see it in documentary format, and so easy to see too. Amazing.

[EOTE]

59. Thank you for that recommendation...

Everyone, I can't recommend this "9/11 Loose Change" documentary enough. You can see it for free, so there's nothing to lose. I've always been a strong supporter of MIHOP/LIHOP, but this documentary is just fascinating, and extremely creepy and scary. Please check it out.

[Glorfindel]

20. No way...

It would be too painful.

[nonconformist]

21. Yes, but probably not until it's out on DVD

I had mixed feelings on if it was too soon for this, but if the family members are okay with it, I should be too.

[bahrbearian]

22. Ya why not?

[Digit]

23. Triple hell no

[soothsayer]

26. same here!

[Chipper Chat]

24. No - no - no - nyet - nay - Ney - nix(on)

I will not rush to the theatre to see an exploitation of death & destruction ("damn those dirty arabs") - a cheap shot which is the result of producers salivating over profits from the murcan proclivity for this kind of garbage. and No Blockbuster - I wont buy the video either.

[redwitch]

27. well said.

n/t

[Longhorn]

54. No. n/t

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

25. Sure... on DVD n/t

[RagAss]

28. hell no - morbid obsession......

[serryjw]

29. NO...Why should I pay to hear MORE lies?

n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

30. Absolutely not.

I went thru all that the emotions when it happened. Why would I want to subject myself to all that agony again?
It would seem one would be either somewhat masochistic or sadistic to want to see it all again.

[lostexpectation]

31. Paul Greengrass is a socialist afaik, its not just propaganda.

look at eh films he's done... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339030/

look at who the director is try to get beyond the title...

[lostexpectation]

43. do you ppl f'ing read the replies^^^

dont' be so quick to to dismiss it

[Media_Lies_Daily]

32. No, thanks.

[Broken_Hero]

33. No, not really...

What I would rather see is a 3hour documentary on what lead up to it, and what happened after the incident, with real facts, real footage, and real input from people who were there...a hollywood adaptation?? Naw, not really...I am saving my nickels and dimes for Superman Returns...

[Art_from_Ark]

35. When Hollywood makes a "historical" movie,

you can be sure they will fark it up. I'm still smouldering about what they did with "The Last Samurai", which would be akin to making a movie about Robert E. Lee, but changing his name to Bernard Smithfield, and having his army based in the state of Springland.
:banghead:

[DianaForRussFeingold]

36. NO! If Michael More did a Documentary on 911 I would pay to see it.

If Michael moore did a Documentary,I would pay to see it. When I first saw Fahenheit 911 I thought it was a farce. A year later,I ended up buying the video and joining the Dems.Al Gore has a movie coming out,May 24thAn Inconvenient Truth
Copyright © 2006 Paramount Classics http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount_classics/aninconvenienttruth/

Eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore’s personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. The film is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry.

Watch Airplane I think this came out in 78'funny clip'; http://www.movie-list.net/classics/airplane.mov

[Broken_Hero]

69. So would I...and i have...

I like MM, he uses a lot of real footage, and what not...if the flight 93 was a movie of that ilk, i would go see it, but its not...if it was a three hour documentary about pre 9/11 and post 9/11 i would go see it, but not this one...from what i have seen, a bunch of actors playing the roles...:)

[moobu2]

34. No

[Hissyspit]

37. Didn't they already make a TV movie out of this story? n/t

[Dem2theMax]

38. No. We all lived through 9-11, one way or another.

I don't think anyone wants to re-live any part of it and can't understand why anyone would make the film.

I saw the movie trailer while at the theater to see another film. The theater was packed. At the end of the trailer, you could have heard a pin drop. No one was expecting it, just like no one was expecting 9-11 (well, * and company were,) and it felt like a wave of shock had gone through the theater. My guess? This film will bomb.

[lovuian]

39. Nope not me... I don't pay for propoganda

the timing is so suspicious and so obvious!!!

[HuffleClaw]

40. i'm waiting for lisa beamer to DEMAND her cut !

after all she OWNS 'lets roll!' or so she thinks.

[Golden Raisin]

41. Emphatically No. Despite the best efforts of BushCo

this is still a free country and movies can be made about any topic. However, I'm a Manhattanite and think its WAY too soon and in really poor taste. Personally, if I never see the footage of the planes crashing into the WTC Towers again it will be too soon, nor do I want to see a movie about Flight #93. Someone is just trying to make a quick, sensationalistic buck, or worse, propagandizing and drumming up red-state "patriotic" fervor for a war against Iran.

[Peter Frank]

42. No Interest - I Can See State Sponsored Propaganda Every Day For Free...

eom

[RebelOne]

44. Why bother? I already know how it ended. n/t

[ChazII]

45. Apparently some Shia

do not plan to see it either.

http://www.shiachat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81353

[aikoaiko]

46. sure why not?

[qanda]

47. I'm not exactly sure why anyone would want to see that

It seems like it just happened. And I could see if it were a made for tv movie, but for someone to ask people to pay money to relive it is just crazy!

[DS1]

48. If there was a movie about how Bush let 911 happen, along with his

band of idiots, so they could march on and do whatever the hell they wanted, I'd watch it.

Oh, I already did. F911

[Ganja Ninja]

49. Absolutely not! It's nothing but a right wing wet dream.

Do you suppose they'll have a split screen with the hijack on one side and Bush reading My Pet Goat on the other?

That's what I want to see. I want them to include all the events prior to the hijacking where Bush and the rest of his gang fucked up and allowed it to happen. Then show us what he did while it all went on. And at the end during the credits show him giving his "trifecta" speech.

[supernova]

50. I'll wait for the DVD

I'm not convinced the film maker wanted to make a piece of propaganda. There are plenty of people around for that. So as long as his motive was wanting to illustrate what happened from what he was able to learn, then I don't have a problem with it.

But for me, I think it's just a little too soon and seeing it in the theatre would be too intense for me. I'd rather wait and see it on my much smaller TV so that I can deal with it.

[clarknyc]

51. Sure, I'll see it.

Crazy as this might sound, it might be healthy for this country to see not just one movie about 9/11, but a whole bunch of them. Fictionalized accounts and documentaries alike. It could be cathartic. Something needs to loosen the stranglehold of institutionalized victimhood that has this country in it's death grip. Too soon? I don't think so. Not soon enough, in my opinion.

[SaveElmer]

52. It's not propaganda as far as I can see...but no I won't see it...

Paul Greengrass is a very good director, with no axe to grind that I can see. But I agree this just seems too soon. I saw the preview at the theater last week, and there was alot of rumbling in the audience when it came on. I think it will bomb

[jmowreader]

53. Its release title is "United 93" and no, I'm not going

I keep seein' all this "Never Forget" shit, man, like I'm gonna forget THAT!

Every time Bush decides to do something unspeakable, like starting a war that will kill half a million Iraqis or nuking Iran, he goes on a sustained 9/11 blitz. "Al-Qaeda did this abominable thing to us on 9/11...so in retaliation we're going to run out and kill a LOT of people who had nothing to do with al-Qaeda."

I have a better idea for a movie about 9/11. In most of the screen, you've got footage of an actor playing Bunnypants getting out of bed, putting on his ill-fitting suit, getting into his limo, going to the classroom, reading the goat book, then flying all over the country and finally winding up in Nebraska. In the upper-right corner, you've got footage of the planes hitting the towers, of them hitting the Pentagon, of 93 crashing in Pennsylvania, of the towers collapsing, of people plunging to their deaths...all synchronized to Bush's actions at the time.

[seabeyond]

55. no. jsut doesnt feel right to profit from others death and pain n/t

[leftchick]

56. no, it is fantasyland

:eyes:

[mtnsnake]

58. All of this, including the release of the tragic 911 tapes, is coming

out at an opportune time to get the blood stirring in support of the war and future wars...and to get the sheeple out to vote for the repukian war machine come November.

[TheLeftyMom]

60. Nope

Let them rest in peace. Besides, I haven't gotten over being traumatized by the actual event!

[Lost4words]

61. NO fing way

[crispini]

62. No.

I don't need anything to make me stop and think about how awful it all is. I have the news for that.

[AngryOldDem]

63. One more person saying....no n/t

[Vidar]

64. No

[Saphire]

65. no, i don't believe so.

[Change has come]

66. Absolutely not n/t

[AngryAmish]

67. Pay to see Right wing fiction?

You are kidding me, right?

[lostexpectation]

72. right wing fiction by a left wing director?

[Strangefire]

68. No.

I don't want to relive that day through a movie.

[phylny]

70. Absolutely not. n/t

[xultar]

71. Nope.

[robcon]

73. Definitely

It seems like a gripping movie.

[0007]

74. No way shape way or form

But I bet every fucking freeper from Jim Robb's tribe will be there, to watch and listen to the bullshit "Let's Roll"
