I Am A Delicate Flower

I find that as I get older, I become more sensitive to things. Many movie theaters are pulling the trailer for United 93, the movie about the fourth plane hijaked on Sept. 11th. I do think that pulling the trailer is wrong. Censorship is running rampant throughout the film industry, throughout every where for that matter. I for one am getting a bit sick of how conservative everyone has become.

But I did see the trailer the other day and I had a really, really hard time watching it. It just brought all of the Sept. 11th stuff back. It made me just feel all around bad and I can not even imagine how it makes other people feel. It looks really well made and all of that but I for one think I am just going to skip it. I am intrigued to see what others think of it.

On a random note, I am sort of bored by everything out right now. I don't even want to see Inside Man, if you can believe it. I just sort of feel like I can wait for the DVD.

I completely understand your sentiment about FLight 93. I saw the preview when I went to see FAILURE TO LAUNCH (which kind of feels like my current life but without the friends). I was freaked out by the preview. I also saw it again before INSIDE MAN.

INSIDE MAN WAS VERY GOOD in my opinion. It was a very adult movie. I also plan on seeing Monique's PHAT GIRLZ and possibly ATL since there is a bargain Tuesday at cineplex near my home.

Ok I just watcheed the trailor and you are completely right- when I read your entry I thought- "common...don't you want to see a movie about what happened in your home?" Then I watched the trailor- and I just don't want to watch those people deciding to die so that another plane does not hit another major landmark- I'm totally nausious right now! It does look really well made and it stars all unknown actors- which is really cool and really respectful- then its about the story and not the celebrity.

I think I am going to see Inside Man in the theater. I am feeling like I should. There is a teeny weeny part of me that wants to see Phat Girlz. There I said it.

They made Phat Girlz with Queen Latifah in mind, and then she got to big (figuratively) for the role, right?

Also, The Inside Man is good.

I want you to see Inside Man, because I want to hear what you thought of it. Personally, I thought it was pretty cool - when Spike decides to do a genre film, he usually does it pretty well - and I think it'd be worth your time.

I don't know how I feel about "pulling the film." But, I know, I will definitely not be watching it.

I surprise myself, when I'm unable to read any articles relating to the transcripts of the 911 calls.

Or the documentaries done on A&E.

Just last night at the gym, as I ran on my treadmill, and read the subscript from CNN news -- I found myself in tears as the subscript read one of the survivor's 911 calls, from inside the Towers.

If I can't handle a 1 1/2 minute newscast on the subject -- there's no way I can handle a complete film.

(And, I consider myself, pretty far removed from it. Imagine if I was a step closer to any one of the victims...)
