You single-minded idiots know damn well that comparing shindlers list and WWII movies to 9/11 are comparing apples to oranges. Terrorism and statements like "support the troops" "you're helping the terrorists if you don't lick Bush's ass" and "support the war" were NOT popular culture during any other time in this country's history, as we did not have the problem of terrorists on our doorstep until 2001. I'm sick of the right using 9/11 to promote this bullshit war and promote idiotic policies but when someone says something contrary to popular belief, they're ridiculed. (as always)

First off, Universal donated 10% of the opening weekend's take - when the average film takes in about half its total income - to victims of 9/11.

That's just dandy. Why didn't they donate every single fucking dime they made if they truly gave a fuck??? I didn't know Universal was hurting for cash.

I'm fully against Bush, big business yadda yadda. And I have to say, this happened. It's real. The paranoia within these events practiced by Americans is revolting. That's more about what I would be up in arms about.

The paranoia that's been going on for the last 4 and a half years is what gets me.

These attacks were a huge blow to several large industries and have made air travel unprofitable and nearly untenable.

Really? Yes, 9/11 was a shock but here's a bigger shocker for ya. The airline I work for has been making money all along. And it ain't Southwest either so don’t believe everything they tell you….

I have to agree. To allow your searing hatred of Bush to blind yourself to the bravery of your countrymen is outrageous.

Don't believe what you see on the big screen as absolute truth....
No one will even know with 100% certainty what happened. I see no sense in believing whatever Universal puts together with all the hollywood pizzaz added to it.

Um.... historical movies/books/paintings/etc. make ALL their money off of people who died. Showing them in a manner of standing up and fighting back does them justice IMO.

Even when the truth is sacrificed just so hollywood can make a few bucks??
