Keeping 9/11 Images Hidden

April 2nd, 2006 at 12:29 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

Movie-going pussies (yeah, I said pussies) have reacted strongly to trailers for the upcoming film “United 93″ – so much so, that the previews have been pulled in some locations.

Watch the “controversial” trailer here.

April 10, 2006 issue – If movie trailers are supposed to cause a reaction, the preview for “United 93″ more than succeeds. Featuring no voice-over and no famous actors, it begins with images of a beautiful morning and passengers boarding an airplane. It takes you a minute to realize what the movie’s even about. That’s when a plane hits the World Trade Center. The effect is visceral. When the trailer played before “Inside Man” last week at the famed Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, audience members began calling out, “Too soon!” In New York City, where 9/11 remains an open wound, the response was even more dramatic. The AMC Loews theater on Manhattan’s Upper West Side took the rare step of pulling the trailer from its screens after several complaints. “One lady was crying,” says one of the theater’s managers, Kevin Adjodha. “She was saying we shouldn’t have [played the trailer]. That this was wrong … I don’t think people are ready for this.”

One lady was crying. She probably cried during the trailer for “The Bridges of Madison County” when she first saw it as well.

I’m glad this trailer is getting some attention and I hope they keep playing it across the country. I hope it is featured prominently on screens in NYC, where the Old Media has done its best to whitewash the events of 9/11 so that we’ll all forget about that unfortunate tragedy and get back to celebrating the tolerance and diversity that brought us 3,000+ steaming deaths on 9/11.

Without the proper diversity training undergone by the crack security staff at Boston’s Logan International Airport, some of those young middle-eastern men may have been inconvenienced that day. The intolerance and bigotry of a security staff that uses racial-profiling is a more horrific crime than the actual hijackings – on that we can all agree.

The Old Media has done an excellent job in colluding to suppress the videos of the planes flying into the World Trade Center and in keeping the images from that day hidden. Is it too soon to make movies about the events of 9/11? (I mean, real movies, not that celluloid shit that flew out of Michael Moore’s diseased ass) I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know people need to be reminded about what happened that day on a regular basis so that the War on Terror has some perspective unmolested by the pants-shitters who run the Old Media.

    Wow, just saw the trailer. Incredible. I don’t like however, how it portrays Muslims or plays on our fears.

    Do you suppose it could be re-written to feature Russian terrorists?

    First off, a non-funny…we are soooo sorry we missed our blogbuddy Rick at Rightwing Nuthouse on C-Span this morning. We intended on making sure to watch it, and…

  3. Sarah Says:

    hmmm, unfortunately the murderers were muslim,and muredered in the name of their faith. so, why would we make them russian? I hate how everyone like you wants to sugar coat things. There are large percentages of certain ethnic groups that give their ethnicity a bad name. We cannot change facts. Glossing over the facts does not help!

  4. Duncan Avatar Says:

    Hmm. Cranky. Good idea. Or perhaps we could make them just NEO-NAZIS!!!
    Can’t have everybody becoming islamophobes. Ignore the Arab cutting your throat. Just a figment of your imagination!

  5. chip Says:

    Why not use Pat Robertson and his merry band of Fundies?

  6. Smantix Says:

    The uproar won’t come until the Oliver Stone movie about these guys get his trademark revisionist treatment and hackneyed black-and-white footage letting you know what the Real Truth(tm) is.

    Sayeth the Stoned about it’s upcoming release:
    “Is America ready for 9/11? Is America ready for gay sex? I don’t know.”

    Whatever that means.

  7. SinCerely Says:

    The Russians are just as bad as the muslims. Trying to muster up the courage to spit on one of them, one of these days. Azzholes are azzholes……….no sugar coating needed. This is not about ethnicity but it is about arrogance. This is America. Come humble or don’t f*cking come here at all.

  8. Feisty Says:

    Hate-mongering racist.

  9. The Unabrewer Says:

    For extra fun, visit the IMDB page for the movie, and check out the message boards. Mohammed! What a bunch of Allah-damned morons.

  10. Gordon Says:

    Well said, Avatar. The only thing safer than Neo-Nazis however, would be a computer-controlled aircraft gone berserk.

    Sarah you need to lighten up. Please don’t be too quick to condemn an entire people based on the greivances of a few.

  11. Garfield Ridge Says:

    9/11: Suck. It. Up….

    Folks, we are a nation at war. We are also a nation that produces art, some of it good, some of it bad. One of our most important art forms is the movie, and thus it should come as no…

  12. Doug Says:

    I cried for the Perfect Storm. It’s still too soon, much too soon.

    Do you suppose it could be re-written to feature Russian terrorists?

    Surely you mean Russian victims of Anglo-saxon economic liberalism? One man’s terrorist is another man’s anti-globalization activist.

  13. SinCerely Says:

    Americans never fell for the idea of neo-nazies. So whats up with americans falling for the peace of islam bullshit? If just a small percentage of believers follow the likes of the terrorist in their religious beliefs, you have to be blind to see what that could mean. These pigs are not the Jehova Witness door knockers. They want you dead because you are not one of them.
