i think its a stupid idea to make a movie about it, that is so typical of americans!

If they can make money about something, they wil. Even if the movie is useless, everyone will go see it as it's patriotic.

Besides, making a movie allows them to write history in their own way, and people tend to believe and remember movies more than real facts.

There was that documentary about one of the firestations that really brought home what happened. I think that was better than a movie.

Two movies on the event have been made already about it, one was your classic romance story to do with it. They were both shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

I wouldn't object to them making a movie about it, id find it interesting to see the events from different perspectives.

i think an american movie about 9-11 will be predictable and ultimately a feel good joke. it's just to show the american sadness and market it. i don't think americans have learned ANYTHING since the attacks. if anything they use it to justifying international bullying (which provoked the whole thing in the first place!)

as for the date, i write dd/mm/yy. i'm not alone here too. it's a total affectation.

It doesn't make sense to write it mm/dd/yy because days are shorter than months, and that's the whole point.
