Were there snakes on the plane?

My husband won us free tickets from sports radio here. He's still deciding whether to give it to his parents or ask them to babysit, but he really wants to see it.

How does it end?

My question is, does the acting seem real or pushed? I can't comprehend the movie not to have REALLY pushed acting for dramatics.

I do want to see the movie I just don't wanna see 2 hours of Tom Cruise acting.

On that note, I thought Mission Impossible 3 kicked ***.

The acting is very, very good. Some of the air traffic controllers from the actual event are seen in it, I think it's amazing that they're willing to re-enact what must have been something that we can't truly comprehend.

I dunno, I'm really up in the air about this flick. A big part of me thinks it's too soon and an even bigger part of me fears that Hollywood is just exploiting the situation.

I couldn't disagree more. The more we remember to look back, the less chance we have of forgetting what those people did, the good and the bad. Turning your back on a history event because it hurts is the worst thing to do. Look at it, recognize it, give it it's due, and learn from it. Maybe our generation can actually not make the same mistakes again anad again like our government tends to do.

I would love to see this movie. Im not sure if Ill get the time to see it in the theaters but eventually I will make sure I get a chance to watch it

That argument aside, I just think that the film is going to get far too much credit for doing very little, because of the lingering emotions that people have about the events.

It's an easy sell, so it's not going to win any respect from me.

Only a fool thinks they can never be attacked. The best defense IS a good offense.

Regardless of how people feel about the actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, I'm quite confident that we've killed a lot of bastards that needed very badly to die. It's cost lives, as every war does. It's won recruits that would not have otherwise joined the ranks of terrorist organizations and it's changed the world drastically. Those very organizations have changed membership so much that they are now drastically altered in and of themselves. They cannot have the same direction they once had because they are no longer who they were.

No matter how critical one is of the actions Bush initiated in the Middle East, the truth is that hindsight is 20/20 and any action is usually better than no action.

As to the movie: of course Hollywood is cashing in on people's emotions. That's what Hollywood does. That's their job. If they don't cash in, then they go out of business. It's a mistake to believe anything you see on the big screen for any longer than it takes for the credits to roll. If you do, then you're indoctrinating yourself to believe something that not even the person who put the stuff on the screen actually believed. It's a story, told by a story teller.

Reading comrehension is your friend.

But since you dared me:

Every one of those bastards deserved to die.

BTW, what are you linking, an orphanage or a site listing our own dead soldiers? I can't be bothered to check.

Oh like you or anyone else here really cares about those kids. Its just like all those starving children in Ethiopia, noone cares about them..... Except maybe Bono.

Im sorry, but your sarcastic response seemed void of all such logical thought. It seems as if by your reaction that you truely believe every war fought had been void of casualties up until this point. IF YOU ARE IN A WARZONE CHANCES ARE YOU COULD DIE! Man, Woman, Child. It doesnt matter! Noone ever said slaughter and war was clean.
