WTC movie review: "Ann Coulter...an unconscionable pig."

[im10ashus]

It would be my great pleasure to arrange for a screening of Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" for Ann Coulter and some of the families whose loved ones were killed or seriously injured on 9/11. It could take place in New York, New Jersey, any place, any time, all expenses on me. All I ask is, after the screening is over and the lights go up, that Coulter should stand and face these families and explain to them why she believes they experienced anything but the most profound emotional pain on that day and on all the days that have followed.

Of course, Coulter will never go for something like that. That would take character and humanity, and she's an unconscionable pig.

However, a number of conservatives whose hearts aren't rotted black have seen advance screenings of "World Trade Center," and from conservative watchdog Brent Bozell to longtime right-wing columnist Cal Thomas, they are singing its praises. Oliver Stone has created one of the most patriotic, pro-American films in recent years -- a movie that avoids Bush bashing and doesn't offer so much of a whisper of a conspiracy theory. It's not about politics -- it's about family, friendship and heroes who love their country.

1. Whoa, those are some strong words. True, but I'm surprised

anyone really put it that way. Finally she just might become known for the pathetic hag that she really is.

2. Its about turning a national tragedy...

...into a feel good box office hit. No lessons. No further understand of what happened to the US and the rest of the world on that day. Just cookie cutter fun. :puke:

3. Sanitized tragedy, very lucrative. n/t

4. I'll see this movie but what I've read and from the previews I've seen

it appears to be a by-the-numbers-made-for-tv type movie. Not what I expect from Stone.

5. Is that movie any good?

I'm not a huge fan of Oliver Stone, so I haven't decided if I should go see it.

6. It just came out today.

Not sure I am ready to relive that day again. I work in One World Financial Center and look down into that space every day. That's enough for me right now. But I love that he took Coulter to task in the review.
