Re: United 93
What interests me, and what might ultimately fuel my curiosity enough to rent it perhaps, is the way that the whole situation is presented. Who are the leads? It's going to be difficult to suspend disbelief and get the same kind of visceral sympathetic response if the actors are ones that we've seen a thousand times before. How are they going to present the shift from paralyzing fear to determination to take action? How far are they willing to go to show two groups of people, one group determined to die to complete their mission, and another group reconciled to death to stop them? And finally, how will it end? What's the most respectful way to end a movie about people that we know died horribly? It's this presentation which will determine whether or not I fall into the same line of thinking as Paul. To be perfectly honest, I have no emotional reaction to the fact that this movie is being released at all. When it finally comes out, I'll probably start forming an opinion about it, but I think that the movie could swing either way. If presented correctly, this movie could be a rather beautiful memorial about ordinary people who were forced to choose between two horrible destinies.

You got into that divot, and you're still super sized, and you can break blocks with your face. Now get out there and step on some fucking turtles!!
