A f[Darkblue][/Darkblue]ucking amazing movie.

Never has a film given me such a sobering feeling. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.

The face that it unfolds in real time, that none of the actors are well known big name people, and that a good amount of emphasis was placed on the terrorists, reminding you that yes, they were people, too... it all adds up to an experience that is unmatched.

It's not the sort of thing that you want to think about. You know what's going to happen, history doesn't re-write itself in this film. It's really depressing when it's all over, and it makes you start to think. Thinking is never good.

This is the train wreck that you can't look away from.

Anyone else see it? Planning to see it? It's really worth it, just expect to be depressed for the rest of the day.


I went to see it Sat night. You summed it up very well indeed.

Yes, because god forbid that the Asylumites post in, you know, the Asylum.

I'll be the first to admit I suck at flaming - but you, my sad (yet highly idiotic) failure, make me look positively Joph-like in comparison.

When I saw commercials for this movie, the first thing I said wait "Jesus christ, another 9/11 movie. Boohoo" and quite frankly, I still stand in this position. I'm not going to go watch any 9/11 movies, and I never will, quite simply because it's redundant. I know what happened, ok? I did care, but that was years ago, I pretty much moved on a couple months after it happened. I didn't mourn or cry, because to be brutally honest, none of my friends died in that building, only people I didn't know, so I don't give a ****.

I'm getting sick of seeing movies about 9/11, it's getting repetitive. OH GOD. This is the movie of the summer! Check out these brave fighters against the 9/11 tragedy for the fifth ******* time! And they'll make more....and more....and more... to the point where when people hear the phrase "Nine Eleven" they'll want to slap a jew, punch a lawyer, and rape a movie director.

It's not cool, it's not touching, it's not anything but annoying. They'll make more, and you suckers will buy into it and think about how touching it was and how it opens up your eyes, and as you continue to do so Hollywood will be in production of more 9/11 movies. It's kinda like taking a movie, wrapping it up in new shiny paper, and presenting it as something new. Sorry guys, 9/11 movies are far from new. It's nothing but total ******** now.

I'm probably not going to see it in the theater, and even from when I first saw the production info on IMDB.com, I really didn't like the idea of this movie. While it -should- be a somber film, it urked me a little to see someone capitalize an event like this and put it into the entertainment/movie biz. While I'm sure it wasn't made to be the blockbuster event of 2006 (although who knows...). Not only did(do) I think it's too soon for such a film (I know, I know...we should move on and all), but I feel it to be "inadequate" to even try to explain or re-enact what happened on that plane. No one knows what really happened (to a "T" anyway...I know we know "some" of what happened), I seriously doubt they lent the blackbox information to the creators of the film.

I'll probably view it when it comes out on video. I know my wife wants to see it, but I'll wait til then. I'm certainly not in any rush to see this one. I'm glad to hear at least that they didn't cast big names to draw a crowd, and that the acting was good. Of course like said above, it's kinda easy to draw on the emotion of the actual event to get a reaction from viewers.

I don't plan on seeing this until it comes out on video and I can have a night of tequila and reciprocal oral sex precede it. I don't need to be any more depressed than necessary.

I never said I was attempting to flame you with the above. Nor was it even in the slightest ment to be interpreted that way. Unlike you I dont have any such ego I care to flaunt by showing off with some useless witty comment to a bunch of MMO elitist Jocks. You can have your forums, they mean nothing to me nor does anyone else here. The only reason I ever post here is I feel I have something to add, regardless of how useful or relevant.

I notice that most Asylum posters appear to not have recieved enough action/attention in highschool (or even generally in society) and feel the need to throw their weight(over weight/obese even?) wit all over the place in some sort of unorganized worthless pissfest-esque manner. You guys can have eachother and I will have my life.

EonsdarkCaitsith, I can't afford to invest 1 billion dollars of my money to help rebuild countries. Sorry, but I'd rather fly my three private jets OVER Iraq and drop merely the day old bagels. Just because I can't afford to spend 250% of my earnings on starving and inslaved kids, does NOT mean I don't care about them. When the Tsunami hit, from my bank account which holds nearly five thousand dollars, I donated 1.5K. That's 1500. That's over 1/5th of my bank account. So please, do NOT get off telling me about who I do (or don't) care about.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Emoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootion.

Ok, someone has taken my initial statement a bit too literally. I just think its funny that people come off as sympathizers for any and every cause in the world. It is almost ridiculous to sympathize, or to be under the impression that there will never be pointless innocent deaths in a warzone. Think about the innocent reporters and journalist captured and slain in Iraq, and you will see that both side has casualties. Its inevitable, and it would be worthless to debate otherwise. War isnt a clean precise process. To say you care about them in the manner you did, in a sarcastic manner implied that you have complete disregard for the innocent lives lost on the american/european side.

The get a life, you were bullied and/or ignored in highschool, social rejects, and obesity are all as much internet cliches as living in a parent's basement. You lose, like it or not. It's as bad as an arguement rebutal attacking one's spelling and grammatical errors. It's the copy & paste cop out.

Oh and before you claim you have a life you might want to get a name that doesn't include some lameass character or creature from the MMO you play, *****.

Posting on a forum sucks less of your life than playing an MMO does.

(I'm amazed I have time for much of anything outside of those two, work, and sleep. I think I shortchange myself on time spent eating, as the last few days I've had off from work, I've forgotten to eat until about 8-12 hours after I woke up.)

Simple, if America was not in Iraq and had followed the UN's decision there would not be all these innocent kids dying. I'm not about to argue that there isn't casualties in War, that would be stupid.

And you're cliche, from your name to your comment, even your style of posting reminds me of every other ignorant ****-waffle that comes from the forum=10. Like Feba, I'd suggest asking to get yourself banned to avoid any further embarrasment.

True, it wouldn't be these innocent kids dying - it'd be different ones. Maybe in the same quantities, maybe not. Alternative-history stories aren't something I'm particularly good at even setting up, let alone telling.

Speaking as a semi-regular poster over there (=10), I'd just like to say that we'd prefer to disown him as well.

Wouldn't you say he reminds you of someone who's tried to hack it in =6969, and failed at that?

(Agreed with the "request for self-ban", though.)

Ah. If it were only that simple...

It was following the UN's decision that caused 9/11 in the first place. There is an absolute and direct cause and effect relationship between the two. Bin Laden transformed Al-queda from a list of Freedom Fighters he'd trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan into a terrorist network aimed at attacking the US for one reason and one reason only: Because we had forces stationed in Saudi Arabia enforcing the UN resolutions on Iraq, and he didn't like our military in his country. Period.

It's quite arguable that back in 93/94, when it became obvious that Saddam wasn't going to just comply with the terms of the cease fire from the 91 gulf war, if we'd simply invaded instead of settling on the UN "solution" of containment, the 9/11 attacks would not have occured. Oh. We'd have had the same problems in Iraq that we're having now. But we'd have saved a few thousand US lives...

Arguing *after* 9/11 occured that we should have continued to allow the conditions that ultimately cause the attacks to continue it just plain silly. As much as people want to imply that there's no connection, or we should not have gone into Iraq, the fact is that we largely had no choice. Given Saddam's position on the terms of the cease fire, there were three alternatives: Give up and let Saddam win (and virtually guarantee resumptions of WMD production). Continue the UN policy of eternal inspections and resolutions (which brought us 9/11). Or invade and remove Saddam from power.

The choice was *really* obvious and we didn't have nearly as much choice as some might argue. You have to ignore huge portions of fact regarding the situation in the middle east to come to any other conclusions.

Yeah, and less of your life than work does. However how does one go about discovering these forums without even playing a MMO? Now that is a time waster.

I for one agree with soldiers being in Iraq, for multiple reasons. That aside however let me make my valid arguments.

Iraqi life under Saddam's rule was not even a remotely safe place to be, regardless of relation to him. Social standing, Occupation. Anything! I believe you are unaware of the countless torture chambers US soldiers discovered durring the length of the war. It has been documented that he has time and time again repeatedly given orders for his soldiers and cronnies to torture and beat many innocent civilians that may have not abided by his every ideal. Not to mention the countless deaths he was responsible for carrying out on his own people. You must be misinformed if you think previous to US soldiers stepping foot on Iraqi soil that innocent lives werent lost.

Secondly, if you are implying that the US soldiers are "innocent kids" dying, than you are even more of a idiot that I have initially thought. Lots of people seem to follow the popular trendy belief that US soldiers are getting slaughtered without just cause. That it is GWB's fault for those Americans that had died durring the war. This belief is fueled by a rise in nonpatriotic pop culture. Its not a thing to be the angsty teen against your parents, but rather the angsty teen against your government. Its just like durring the punk rock era when underground crowds were banning together bashing Ronald Reagan, however on more of a grand scale. Its on your TV, in the music you listen too, poll results, Its splattered all over the media. Greenday is writing horrible songs about it, without having the slightest inkling of the inner workings of politics. Its the trendy cool thing to hate the government, and be against the Iraqi war. When you say I am cliche maybe you should take this into consideration. Maybe its you who is entirely cliche and completely unclever with every argument you have presented thus far. When someone enlist in any branch of our armed forces, they are well aware that there is always that chance of war. Noone, and I mean noone enlist without having this in the back of their minds. They werent just shipped off, dropped in a foreign land and told to fend for themselves. Many who have served believe they are doing the right thing. They are seeing the country and the cause firsthand, where we sit behind our PC and only speculate and force opinions on half truths and distorted knowledge. We only know what we are told, we only know the media. Wether it be the internet, your TV screen, or music.

Point being, noone is forcing anyone into Iraq (if you were refering to american loss) and that it is a bit hypocritical to call me cliche with the above stated.

Bashing someone's name is clearly elementary, reminiscent of/along the same lines of "Michael Michael Motorcycle...." I think its funny that out of desperation you must resort to a argument based off of my alla name. Point it out for me again, as your name is much much more clever than mine, and I was unaware I had named myself that... Bell~end.

and Feba has nothing on me just for the record. That guy is borderline retarded.
