Anyone see the trailers for the soon to be box office hit? Flight 93, is

[mrcheerful]

coming to a theater near you. This should get out the puke votes. Call me tin hat wearer, but get ready for more pro shrub movies. 9/11 when real american hero's were made. Yep stuff like this plays to both base and fence sitters.

1. America has always loved legends more than truth.

[nashville_brook]

3. yeah, but documentaries are a whole other thing

this looks like a total yawning festival regardless of your fence-sitting orientation.

the part that kills me in the trailer is having the director SELL the concept. 'i had to make this movie because... blah blah... " it doen't bode well.

[mrcheerful]

4. Yeah, George Washington vs cherry tree, honest Abe, I'm not a crook,

when truth vs myth always print the myth. Like the founding fathers were nothing but poor farmers trying to avoid King Georges taxes. Or the mid night ride of Paul Revere, who never warned one colonist because he was stopped and held on the out skirts of Boston. American history is filled with myth that never happened, Custers last stand didn't happen the way history books claim.

2. It just seems sort of grotesque to me.

I figured they'd make a movie about 9/11 sooner or later. Maybe once history puts some real distance between 9/11 and me I'll change my opinion, but the premise doesn't appeal to me, and it's not really something that I'd want to watch.

10. Its not reality.Not one of us knows what happened on that plane

and a movie about it will just be entertainment piece.

Not watching "Flight 93".

14. Were there SNAKES ON THE PLANE?

Could have been! You never know.

5. Let's see the movie before we beat up on it

I still remember all of the conservatives trashing F. 9/11 before they had ever seen it. That's not right.

I will see the movie, and form an opinion about it afterward.

7. Ding, ding, ding.

6. Paul Greengrass is a socialist from the UK , its not just propaganda.

ths is really a tireless task :P but i must continue

he has done many straigthforward but gritty films on similar tragedies. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339030/

nobody knows what really happened.

Read about him.

Im trying to tell you but ppl are jumping the gun.

8. I checked his imdb page that you linked to. I like the title of this movie

"When the Lies Run Out"

[mrcheerful]

9. Remember the Titanic? They made all the men sound like hero's for giving

up their seats in life boats, but truth was just as many were trying to get into life boats as those that decided to stay with the ship. BTW, those men, women and children in steerage class were never given that decision, it was only first and second class that made it to the life boats. Yet to this day the myth is still there.

13. I'm not going to see it!!!

its a lie...
