Re: United 93
I hope this movie bombs.
They are probably going to hype up all the people on board to make them out like super-american heros etc. It wouldn't surprise it the government had something to do with putting this out, just to remind the masses why we are fighting the 'war on terror'. And the family member being involved is wack. I am sure he/she got a nice chunk of change for his/her part in it. On another thing... They are changing the name from "Snakes on a Plane" to something else?! I remember last year in Wired, Samuel Jackson said that he was mad when they said that because the cheesey title was one of the main reasons he signed on! |

Re: United 93
I hear you, Paul, but drama does not equal popcorn fest. Those are different things. Or you're saying that every drama about real events trivialized them, which I don't think you'd say.
I should stress: it's entirely possible I'll be revising my opinion once I see the film. But I don't think it's right to make such judgements beforehand. (And I have zero interest in seeing it in the theatre, so it'll be awhile.)

Re: United 93
I find calling a movie you haven't seen an abomination to be pretty objectionable. I understand everything you're saying, but as soon as you use language that strong, I can't agree with you. It could be "an abomination", I suppose, but it isn't by virtue of its subject matter. Your analogy about the sister is totally unfair; making a movie about a tragedy is in no way being over to the extent you're suggesting. You can make a movie about events while in no respect being "over" them. I don't think any subject is "taboo" for a serious discussion, and I think any type of serious artistic effort can qualify as serious discussion. Can we infer from the quality of the preview or the people involved that this likely isn't a "serious artistic effort"? That's a matter of opinion. I would say not, myself; I can see how others could say, "Yes, from the preview it seems clear to me that this a plain attempt at emotional manipulation without any real value. It's a cash in." But I think that's possible, and jumping from that possibility to "abomination" is a nice leap.

Re: United 93
Heh, they arent changing Snakes on a Plane.. I only mentioned it because the film execs polled people on it and they said the title was too corny, so they tried changing it, and Samuel said no. I mentioned it because film titles, like Twin Towers, are usually in a state of flux.
