Wow.

Wow.

Watch this. And tell me it isn't the biggest, steamingest pile of dog crap you've ever seen.

I'm not even making a comment about the sanctity of that day and blah blah blah. No, that's just an ass-bad trailer. And it must be mocked.

Yet again, I can't see it at work. I'll check it out when I get home.

But I take it from the title and background image and tagline that it's a craptastic movie about September 11, yes?

Saw parts of it on tv last night...

It kinda makes me wanna throw up.

And biting my tongue on further comment, I will just say that sometimes the most touching and sincere tribute is a silent one.

word. it offends pretty much every sensibility I have.

Rach, you're correct. It's a really sappy trailer to what looks like the most hackneyed movie ever.

Also, interesting point...

the widow of one of the men portrayed in the movie has asked the producers to change the name of her husband in the film. She doesn't want her children (who are now just 12 and 8) to see it and know exactly how their father died. Producers have refused to comply.

okay that was horrible. and even worse because nic cage is the king of hideous accents and i couldn't help cracking up at him every time he opened his mouth. (plus it reminded me of this other movie i saw a trailer for a billion times where he has the most outrageous IT-SA ME, MARIO!!! italian accent, and how i couldn't stop imagining him saying shit like, "thassa spicy meat-a-ball.")

also, i loved how they juxtaposed the dramatic image of a airplane shadow moving over the city with a big ZOOLANDER billboard.

i KNOW! he was the absolute worst part!

-Hey guys, how do we get Nic Cage to look like a middle class New York cop?

-Uhhh....MUSTACHE! Yea, mustache. And ridiculous paisan accent. Yep, that's it.

Why any of them? Money to be made, and filmmakers looking to stroke themselves over how they tackled material when it was still edgy. Eat me, filmmakers. All of you.

WHY DID MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL AGREE TO PARTICIPATE IN TRIPE!!!????

Monica, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but Maggie Gyllenhaal IS complete tripe.

I used to think she was cool, because she had the good fortune of being in some cool indie flicks. But then I went to see her do a talk after a screening of this movie Happy Endings, which was total swill, by the way. And she was really, disappointingly dumb. She was unable to comment on anything that wasn't the literal content of her movies. Really, really dumb. And it's too bad. Because I used to think she was very sexy. Plus I believe she's about to create spawn.

Pardon my french...but this is complete bullshit.....I hate Nicholas Cage, I hate Oliver Stone and I fucking hate that they had to make a movie out of this.

sorry for my rant but this really does piss me off to no end. Now I know what Penn and Teller were talking about on their show about 9/11.

and you know the worst part? This will probably get nominated for an Oscar and get critical acclaim...because you know only two people will get shown out of the THOUSANDS that died that day. That makes ALL the difference

grrrrrrrrrrr rrrr rrr rrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
