World Trade Center Movie

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Should this movie be put in theatres?

Yes, it needs to be documented for everyone to see.

Also, if you watch the video, there are witnesses who say they heard more than one explosion. The government wouldn't need to pay anybody off...after seeing all the death and destruction of that day, few people would come out and express doubts for fear of being labelled unpatriotic.

I'm just saying it's plausible...


There would have to be literally thousands of people behind 9/11. Are you telling me that nobody out of those thousands would step up and say that this is a little bit fucked up? Are you telling me that this government, who couldn't keep a hunting accident secret, would be able to cover up something on this grand of scale? Do you think President Bush and his administration would risk their careers and lives to do something this stupid? More importantly, are you really that blind to think that they would actually want to do something like that?

People who actually believe in this government conspiracy theory just make me laugh. The fact that people will believe anything makes the world seem stupid. I'm 100% positive someone could make a movie that would make some people believe monkeys control where tornados go if they really tried hard enough. Like I said, it's the stupidity of the people combined with the genius of our marketing that makes our brains full of trash.

Samuel L Jackson has made more crappy movies but nobody calls him a crappy actor.

Samuel L's decent for me and wtf is he thinking of when he decided to agree on Snakes On A Plane. That is quite frankly one of the worst movie ideas I've ever seen, this could be on the level of Gigli and any movie Madonna's been the lead character in.

I think Cage is a type of actor that has a cult style following, he's not a very appealing actor sorta like Woody Allen you either love him or hate him.

Personally I dont mind his stuff, it's entertaining, certainly most of it isnt oscar worthy but I usually feel like it was worth it.

Also to Riot, I'm not sure I think the whole thing (9/11) was foiled, but if somebody came out and said that it was staged by the government, nobody would believe them, its just like if three ex Air Force officials came out and said that the government has covered up alien existance, people have been saying that already and a lot of people dont believe them.

1. Nobody has even tried to do it. If it really happened don't you think someone would atleast try? Especially with the media we have today.

2. They would probably have some kind of documented proof. It would take a HUGE operation to pull something of that magnitude off. They would probably have some kind of evidence against the government.

The bottom line is the government dropped the ball on 9/11. They weren't behind the attacks, but they did have prior knowledge that an attack might happen. Nobody seemed to take the threat seriously and the lack of CIA/FBI communcation ended up hurting us badly. The government wasn't behind the attack. If you honestly believe that they were then god help you.

I never said I believed they were, I'm open to thinking about it, but I'm not going to say that they did it because that would be quite the feat.

But, people have said stuff, these videos are doing exactly that, though this theory is much easier to shoot down that UFO theories. And what sort of proof would it require? A letter from one official to the other talking about the staged attacks that could be analyzed and then called fake like so many documents that have been called fake about government UFO coverups? When evidence comes out, its usually always shot down or looked over.

UFO coverups wont be proven until a flying saucer crashes in the middle of Sunset Blvd, just like the 9/11 "hoax" wont be totally proven false unless the government starts releasing more information, and it wont be totally proven true until well known government officials admit to it, or better tapes are found.

The main problem with 9/11 conspiracy theories is that is never one solid answer. Nobody has given me their opinion of what actually happened on that day. Some people mention missiles being fired at the Pentagon and controlled demolitions near the World Trade Centers. Nobody has given me any kind of example of what happened on that day. Can anyone tell me what happened to the people who died on Flight 93, 11 and the other flights that disappeared? Can anyone tell me why we have recordings from people inside the aircraft that they made to the FAA or to their family members? What happened to those people? Did the government brib them, too?

Nobody has been able to tell me what happened that day excatly. All they tell me is that the government was behind it and that George Bush is an awful man. Believe it or not, I have a very hard time believing their arguments. Loose Change makes "good points" and it sounds like it makes a lot of sense to the un-trained ear. However, most of their "facts" aren't right and they aren't experts on anything involving 9/11. They are just a bunch of guys who decided to make a video on the internet. They did their research but that doesn't mean they know everything. I don't need a bunch of computer geeks telling me what a 737 would do if it ran into a building. They don't know and I don't know. Hundreds of independent researchers have gone to ground zero and to the Pentagon to investigate the crash sites. None of them have come back and said that something was fishy or wrong.

The government has leaks all the time. This administration isn't very good at keeping things under wraps. Being able to keep something like this under cover would be an extremely difficult task. You may think George Bush is an awful person capable of doing something like this, although I do not think that, but you cannot think that he would risk his life (political and otherwise) on something like this. He would be gambling everything and risking his whole life. September 11th happened too early in his term to do something that drastic. I know it's hard to believe but there are people in this world that hate us and want us killed because we are Americans. It's time we stop living in our fantasy world and start opening our eyes. Terrorism is a real and dangerous thing in the world. I would think people would realize by now that terrorism is a serious problem and that it was a terrorist act on 9/11. We were a victim of terror.
