What'd you think of it? Should I go see it?


Personally, I'm not going to bother. I knew as 9/11 was happening, it
was only a matter of time before Hollywood made a movie about it - but I
did expect them to wait 15 or 20 years. I also predict there will be a
Hollywood movie about Hurricane Katrina.


I'm neither condemning nor defending Hollywood, but I'm pretty sure that
everybody here is aware that it represents American capitalism in its purest
form. Hollywood sees an opportunity to turn a buck, and it takes it, taste
be damned. Simple as that. Is there another way of doing capitalism that I
haven't heard about?

Odd to see so much criticism of the American way. Personally, I would've
liked to have seen a big, dumb, Jerry Bruckheimer version of 9/11 about 6
months after it happened. When you think about it, what better signal to
send to the rest of the world?
