World Trade Center

Back in May there was a fairly negative and short thread about the trailer for this Oliver Stone flick and basically ragging on the idea that someone might be profitting on a tragedy. OK. I won't disagree with anyone on that, but I don't think anyone can complain when the officers the movie tells the story of are allowing (better yet, allowed; the movie is out in theatres today and I will probably go see it with Sass) Stone to make a movie. That's a different part of the issue: when people are trying to tell a story, they can't just make a movie themselves. They have to go to someone else and do it, or someone else comes up to them to help them tell it. That is where, I think, the issue of "profitting" from a tragedy falls apart. And that's why I'll be seeing this movie.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
