This is not a review, just an observation on the director's inability to create an artistic vision.
So I sat down to watch, but I can't seem to watch for more than 15 minutes at a time. The director did handheld camera-extreme-shakey shots for every shot in the movie. WTF? Why did he do this? To create a massive headache in all viewers? This technique was fine 25 years ago with "Hill Street Blues" when it was new and done to show intensity or confusion in a scene. But to do it all the time throughout a movie shows a complete lack of ability. It seems to scream "Look at me I can shake a camera so you have to think I am edgey!" No, no I don't.

Wow. People like you who show so little sympathy for the victims of 9/11 make me sick. I mean, seriously, if you didn't like that movie, the terrorists have won. You are probably one of those people who thinks we shouldn't be in Iraq (aka, you are on the side of the terrorists). Oh sorry. Just being a Bush supporter. Can't believe I voted for that guy. :duh:

WTF are you talking about? I wasn't talking about the subject matter, I was talking about the efing director and his handheld camera technique!!! Because he wanted to get all artsy I was unable to watch the movie without getting a headache.
Please reread my initial post because what you just accused me of are fighting words. *Malechi pulls happyjosiah's teeth chips from his knuckles*
I am off to watch United 93. I haven't seen it yet, I've been saving it to watch today as my own personal memorial of the 9/11 victims. Because I do indeed care!

Um, I think HJ had his tongue in his cheek.
But, yeah, sensitive issues at hand...

That is a great way to remember today Malechi. Man every time 9/11 rolls around it is like fresh salt in my wound. I wonder if I will ever be quite the same again as I was before that day. I don't think so. It stilll wrenches me every time I see something about it. I broke out my Life book today with the story and pics of the whole thing. Like I said it stlll burns.
