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.

I do believe that is also a huge part of the American way.

True, but I meant that it was odd to see it from folks who normally seem to
be a vigorously patriotic, capitalist bunch. ****, I'm merely the biggest
capitalist in the world, and I've never understood the general reluctance to
exploit 9/11 for financial gain. We should have been selling T-shirts 15
minutes after it happened, and telling the rest of the world to **** off if
they didn't like it.
