Flight 93 makes you think...

[Riot]

Yes, there is a movie out in theaters called "United 93", however due to the rise in gas prices I will not fork over the $7-8 to see it. Call me a cheap ass. However, A&E did show their original movie "Flight 93" on tonight (and it is on for an encore later tonight at midnight central time).

I watched the movie and it got me pretty emotional. It really makes you think back about that day and all the events that unfolded. It truely was a tragic day that I will never forget. Ever. Honest to god, that day still breeds anger in me. I'm still angry, I'm still fuming mad over what happened on that day. When I see the footage or when I watched this movie it just reminded me of that. The general public isn't reminded enough of the events on 9-11.

Anyways, I got off topic there for a second. This movie shows the courage, the bravery and the heart of those on board Flight United 93. Once they found the terrorists were bluffing about the bomb and they were going on a suicide mission, they decided to act and take over the cockpit. Those guys saved hundreds of lives by making that unselfish move. The fact that they can't get funding for a memorial makes me angry, as well. The crew and the passengers fought the terrorists and saved many, many lives. What do they need to do to be remembered? They are heros and they show us that everyday people can be heros. They were husbands, fathers and sons and those son of bitches took them away. What the hell more do you have to do for a memorial?

I suggest you guys either check out United 93 in theaters (with your family, not your friends) or watch the encore of Flight 93 on A&E tonight.

RIP Flight United 93 and all of those innocent who died on that day

i dunno man, i am scared to see that movie. its fuckin crazy bold of them to make a movie like that, we watched the previews are were like.. holy shit

That is also part of the reason why I will not see the hollywood movie in theaters. However, both of them say they will give part of the money they earn to the Flight 93 Memorial Fund which is nice but it is still all about money. I am not watching it for entertainment though.

yeah, totally agree. seriously doubt anyone will come out of that movie laughing or whatnot. kinda weird cause they put that preview right before the Benchwarmers movie, so there we like total opposites and took the crowd a while to get from the sense of that preview to the movie. but it will probably sell out fast, espically in a liberal place like where i live

[Donatello]

The film in theatres.... It's just capitalizing on tragedy. How disrespectful can you get?

I've heard nothing but goos things about the movie in theaters. It got 5 stars in a few local papers, and taht rating is reserved for the very best of them.

Personally I don't think there's a problem with the movie being made. What's the difference between this and any war movie?

[Mazzocchi]

It's on again at 1:00AM EST, I'm gonan watch it.

I thought there was a movie coming out called WTC?
I thought I saw a poster for it when I went to see a movie a few weeks ago.

(lol I accidently wrote WTF when trying to write WTC, haha instinct I guess)

Edit:
It's on now, watching it

Edit Edit:

This review from imdb pretty much summarizes how I felt about the movie after seeing it

When this film was over a silence hung over the theater unlike any I had ever heard. My eyes watered as I left the hall, and I said a quick prayer as I exited; simply in honor of all the people who died on September 11th.

There is a sequence in this film where the passengers are portrayed praying, as are the terrorists. The languages and prayers are spliced together through a series of short scenes that depict the emotional impact that everyone was feeling.

That is what this movie is about. It does not deal with conspiracy theories. In fact, to do so would more untrue than any other lie that the film-makers have been accused telling. This movie is about what the people around the country were feeling as the tragedy of that day unfolded. No one was sitting there thinking, 'I wonder if our government was in on this?' All the people on that plane were thinking of only one thing: survival. That is what this movie portrays, and it addresses several themes in doing so, such as god, faith, unity, and the will to survive. These are not 'American' themes. They are human themes. The terrorists in the film are not portrayed in a horrible, demonizing light. In fact, the audience is ushered to feel sympathy for them in certain scenes. This movie was not made as propaganda, or as a means to make money. If one simply views the film, this becomes apparent. If any 9/11 movie is an attempt to make money, I would say it is Stone's 'World Trade Center.' This film was a prayer, not propaganda, and not propagating falsities. It was something that came from the heart, and after viewing the intense performances and believably real reactions, that also becomes apparent.

I should go see this. Riot is so right about those gas prices though, my tank is barely above E.

[Riot]

Fuck man, I have to fill up soon too, dada. It seems like I just filled up.

I filled the tank on Tuesday or Wednesday. I think I might have to go buy a bicycle.
I remember when 20$ could fill my tank. Now its almost double that.

Lucky for you, it takes over $60 to fill up my truck's tank.
