Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

Nah, I would not be a love story. Any 9/11 movie would be like those 60's and 70's war movies, with huge assemble casts that try to recreate the whole event. Most liekly the Hijackers would be namesless, probably not big starts at all, and Osama would only be seen either int eh beginning of the movie (building up), and at the end. I also think moving beyond the first few days afterwards would be very unlikely.If you don't like reality, change it! me

They are making two (!) films about the President's actions and whereabouts on the day. Both even have the same guy as GWB, Timothy Bottoms from the comedy series "That's my Bush!". Both are written by the same guy though, so it's not that strange...Weren't they already making a TV movie of 9/11?

Pearl Harbor sucked, yes.
I can understand people not liking Saving Private Ryan, but I enjoyed it.
But Schindler's List? Crap? Wtf?

i think we'll see a movie (or miniseries) devoted to the brave passangers of the one that went down in PA."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

I have a film documentary by 2 French Filmmakers (they were actually brothers!, which led to a lot of emotional outpourings as they had gotten seperated during the blasts) whom were filming the life of a NYC Probationary Firefighter, coincidentally, at the Engine Company that covered the WTC area. They were actually in the tower next door when the first collapsed then on street when the second collapsed. Very stunning footage and real-time emotional outpourings. It shows the first plane hitting the tower.
Just wanted to share this, it was aired a few months after the fact, makes you really stop and think.
Peace

9-11!
The untold story of Bill and Jeff, from the 87th floor
(Open, two men in WTC sipping coffee and looking out the windows. After a beat, JEFF speaks)
J: Nice day, eh Bill?
B: Yeah. I've seen better, though.
J: (sips coffee) I guess. Traffic was pretty bad, wasn't it?
B: Yup. (Sip)
J: Hey, where is everybody?
B: It's break time. They probably all went to get a snack, or something.
J: Everyone? That's a little odd...
B: (sip) You're telling me--wait, is that a plane?
J: Are you kidding? It's Tuesday.
B: What does that matter?
J: It doesn't. Oh look, a plane...
B: That's what I just said! It's getting kinda close, isn't it?
J: Nah. They're just messin' with us. Hold on, I need more coffee.(Exit Jeff)
B: You're probably right. He's gonna turn, for sure.(sips)mmm...nope. Oops.
J
enters) What's this?
B: Oh, the plane didn't turn, that's all.
J: Well, darn. At least it was the other tower, eh?
B: You said it. Should we tell someone?
J: Nah, I'm sure someone's already phoned it in. Besides, I'm on break -- I don't want to do any more work than I have to.
B: Point taken.(sips)
J: (sips)I know I've said it before, but this is damn good coffee.
B: You better believe it.
J: Say, is that another plane?
B: I hope not. That last one was strange enough, thank you.
J: No, I think it is.
B: Alright, alright. Five bucks says this one's turning, though.
J: You're on.(sips)
B: (sips)
J: Doesn't look like it...
B: Don't jinx it. He's still got time.
J: Ah...nope. I win.
B: Damn. Well, a bet's a bet.(gives Jeff $5)
J: So, where'd it hit this time?
B: Looks like a few floors down...ah, Marketing, I think.
J: Really? Dang, I was gonna have lunch with Stacy today, and that's where she works...
B: No foolin'? Stacy?
J: Yeah. I'm a real ladies man, that's for sure.
B: Lucky bastard. She shut me down at last year's christmas party.
J: That happens.
B: Say, it's getting kind of smoky...should we leave?
J: Nah. Break lasts for five more minutes.
B: Good point.(sips)

To be continued...
God, I'm a bastard.

There'll probably be an epilogue with the invasion of Afghanistan and/or the death of OBL (if he's actually known to be dead at the time).DULCE BELLUM INEXPERTISComment
