The people filed out of this movie and I observed exactly the same look on every face – grim, sorrowful, and determned. No clowns in sight. They didn’t dare. Go see the movie. It will invigorate you.

But me and my wife were watching a tv movie of United 93. In my opinion, the Islamist hijackers looked like Indian Hindus too me wearing red bandanas. Hollyweird was very careful not to indicate clearly what language they were speaking.

Your posting are very well written. What the NYT used to be.

Thankfully I had some Ambien to sleep.

Here are some great reads for consideration:

“It’s impossible not to think of the image of George W. Bush reading the pet goat story in Michael Moore’s ‘Farenheit 9/11.”

Envy is their world! Spoiling is their game!

Not just a telling of what the LEFT is saying but a true insight into what drives their ideology, policies and behavior.

United 93: No Heroic Deed Goes Unspoiled by the Left

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I know how to completely eliminate the left. Well, maybe not completely. But at least 75% of them.

If we could somehow eliminate envy from the human genome, there would be almost no reason for the left to exist. They would instantly lose that which animates them, for example, envy masquerading as justice or economic theory.

Even the liberal movie reviewer cannot help himself from getting envious little digs into almost all of his reviews, including today’s for United 93. Although he liked the movie, in seeing it, “It’s impossible not to think of the image of George W. Bush reading the pet goat story in Michael Moore’s ‘Farenheit 9/11.” This same idiot would never review Farenheit 9/11 and write, “it’s impossible to look at this shrill leftist propaganda without thinking of the image of a stewardess having her throat slashed with a box cutter by a Muslim barbarian that Moore would call a freedom fighter.”

In fact, be on the lookout for envious attacks on United 93, that is, “spoiling.” The envy campaign started early, with the “too soon” meme, but that is simply a case of disguised spoiling.

…. But to use one of Freud’s most famous phrases, when it comes to the projection of envy and greed, “the one who smelt it, dealt it.”

Varifrank has great post. He lost coworkers on flights on 911:

If United 93 fails at the box office, the war on terror will be re-written in our popular culture the way that returning Vietnam vets were re-written from normal people into murdering psychopaths let loose on the general population. Like it or not, what passes for popular culture very often serves as the basis of history. Popular culture is often the lens by which historical events are later interpreted.

Hollywood knows nothing and cares not what tale is that is actually being told on the screen, but it does respect what happens at the box office. It will notice either a success or a failure and will react accordingly.

Gerard & the NYT’s Dargis: “Reviewer Without a Clue”

“MANOHLA DARGIS is predictably and dependably on top of the current blather points in her New York Times’ review of “United 93.” 1) Exploitation! 2) Why was it made? ”

But that narrow focus, along with the lack of fully realized characters, and the absence of any historical or political context, raises the question of why, notwithstanding the usual (if shaky) commercial imperative, this particular movie was made. To jolt us out of complacency? Remind us of those who died? Unite us, as even the film’s title seems to urge? Entertain us?To be honest, I haven’t a clue. I didn’t need a studio movie to remind me of the humanity of the thousands who were murdered that day or the thousands who have died in the wars waged in their name.

“Well, at least she’s being “honest” about her needs. Proof again, if more proof was needed, that you don’t have to be a clueless moron to work for the New York Times but, since you will mirror the Publisher, it certainly can’t hurt your career path. Here’s hoping the next time a mass murder goes down in New York that Ms. Dargis and her collegues at the paper have the aisle seats.”….Vanderleun April 29, 2006
