So is anyone going to see United 93 Movie??

Sadly, Osama has won to a large degree, and has gotten what he wanted.

He's instilled undue fear into the American people, and have caused many essential liberties that make our nation so great, to be taken away in the name of "protection" and "terrorism."

Just thought I'd go off on that random rant there fro a second...

You have it way off base, Osama has only caused Bush and the TSA to believe they can only search WHITE LITTLE GIRLS AND OLD WOMAN instead of doing the right thing AND SEARCHING RAGHEADS.

THAT'S THE ONLY FREEDOM THAT HAS been taken away from the free world.


Every citizen of this country cannot watch this movie enough times to forget about the throuts of the pilots those RAGHEADS cut with those boxcutter knives on all four of those planes.

I'm so sick of seeing little 5 year old girls get scared to death from being picked for the 3rd degree security search by the TSA agents thinking they're terrorists.

Keep in mind secondary screening can be based on available intelligene data including the use of children with surgically implanted IEDs. Kinda like smuggling coke in canines, but with a little more zeal.

Although I'm not in the military, those family members of mine who've seen combat have desired nothing more than to forget what they saw and move on. My great-grandfather dropped into Normandy with the 101st and spent time as a POW. He suffered horrific PTSD following the war and became an alcoholic. Couldn't get the images out of his head he used to say. He died of a heart attack in 1980.

In social psych back in college we learned about the "cycle of violence" in that violence leads to frustration, which again leads to violence, which again leads to frustration and so on and so on. I guess this is why I can't watch any of the videos from 9/11 anymore. Just my 2-cents.

I literally just watched the full trailer on iTunes.

Not sure how accurate it all was, but I got cold chills when the pilots got an ACARS message saying "two planes just hit World Trade Center". A good friend's cousin was an FA on one of the American flights. She was picking up a little opentime trying to make some extra cash...I never saw the A & E movie (or whoever made it), so I might go see this one. Its definately not going to be an uplifting film but it will put a personal face on the people who lost their lives.

People have forgotten the WTC bombing in 1991, Khobar Towers, our embassies being blown up in Africa and the USS Cole. We as a society cannot forget what happened that day, simply burying and repressing the feelings of fear, anger and sadness we felt during and afterward and dreaming of a better tomorrow. Am I angry about what happened? You're damn right I am...but that doesn't keep me from living my life normally.

FWIW, I've tried joining the military three times since 9/11. I've been medically hard DQ'd...

plenty of people have forgotten. osama who? Constitution who?

Lets go after Saddam, and libturds! Lets not discuss why the government totally missed the obvious signs of 9-11. Why "illegal immigration" and "civil liberties" being taken away currently all had NOTHING to do with 9-11. The terrorists were here on legal visas (the CIA didnt bother to double check when certifying the visas even though numerous 9-11 attackers were on known terrorists lists) and other countless examples.

But lets just remember the violence and get all upset and worked up and start to hate hate hate again. Its GREAT! But leave it to GWB "Osama is not important anymore"

Universal Studios is probably going to make millions off this movie, which should give any American pause about those eight bucks they are going to slide across the counter.
Universal shouldn't stop with this- they should look into selling Shuttle Columbia charcoal starters, or New Orleans-theme pool toys. Making money off a national tragedy is just simple economics, isn't it?

I won't be seeing this movie. Not because it is too disturbing, but because making this movie a for-profit venture is beyond appalling.

I have no intention of going to see this movie either. I had the pleasure (if you can call it that) of watching the real thing happen live on TV while wearing a pilot's uniform and fearing not only for my own life but for my 7 co-workers who were in flight while it all went down.

In my personal opinion, Osama has indeed won and he's gotten exactly what he wanted. He's made all of us Americans scared to death, he's got us fighting amongst ourselves to the point of absurdity, and he's made us all look like complete idiots to the rest of the world. I'll bet he's sitting in his hidey-hole watching CNN and laughing his arse off.
