I kn0w my limits.

#2 We must go see this one in the theater, folks.

We owe it to the heros of Flight 93.

And we owe it to the filmmaker, who appears to have gotten it right.

As opposed to the majority of Hollyweird and their hate-America, ain't-I-wonderful crap.

I'll plunk down my money - and stock up on kleenex.

#3 My neighbor's brother was the pilot of that airliner. I have some angst about viewing it. I'll bet he will too.

#4 I agree with Barbara S. We owe it them.

I've tried to steel myself to going by watching the trailers and backgrgound story -- and they rip me up every time. I can't even sit still watching them. But I'm going anyway, dammit.

#5 Any patriotic citizen should see this movie. American begins to fight back, by God, "Let's Roll"

#6 I'll buy a ticket, or maybe more, for support, I doubt that I'll see it though. Like Mr. 6, I know my limits and living in the PRM my opportunities to play the beserker are way too frequent.

#7 my luck, the guy next to me will mutter "Allahu Akhbar" and it'll be the end of several lives as we/they knew it

#9 We owe it to the heros of Flight 93.

Ummm, no this is not going to do anything for those folks, it only enriches Hollyweird, there are other, better ways to honor them than flocking to make Producer/Directors wealthy.

#10 Whether you go or not, buy a few tickets. As far as I know, they only count ticket sales, not actual bodies in seats. We were in Germany when Schindler's List came out. I did the same thing back then.

#11 #9 RJ - The point is, this director apparently (at least for this film) is NOT like the rest of Hollyweird.

Let's encourage him.

For those who don't think they can take it - and I do understand - TW has the right idea.

I knew there was no way I could sit through a public showing of Schindler's List - though I have seen it several times on tape/TV. I had too, even though I knew how painful it would be. (I used to live in Germany.)

It's important we support good films, even as we condemn the standard crap they spew out of the Left Coast.

Never Forget, Never Forgive.
