In Poor Taste

Have you heard of this new movie United 93 which has previews showing in most theaters across the U.S.? You guessed it; it’s about the plane bound for D.C. on 9/11 that crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. To me, this is really sick. Not only is it in poor taste to create a film about that tragedy in an entertainment medium such as mainstream film, but some greedy bastards are using this horrific memory to make money for themselves. I know, I know. You’ll say “Well, they’ve made tons of movies about tragedies and no one’s complained before.” That’s true but it’s a bullshit argument in this case. You know and I know that 9/11 is a different ball of wax. It did and still does incite a new, profound and inexplicable reaction in all of us that’s simply too sacred to be f---ed with by Hollywood sleazebags for profit. In my opinion, you have to be sick to pay money to see this movie in a theater and even sicker to be responsible for its existence.
