If the Oscars had to happen today, it would look like this. (Forecasting Thread)

Much like American democracy, historical weight carries it more than overall importance.

You support it for what it was and now what it has become.

a sham?

[B_Metal]

Haven't watched a 9/11 movie yet, doubt this one will change that.

[PHEDG]

Pleasantly surprised about Rooney Mara and Gary Oldman.

[Matt]

Albert Brooks and SENNA are the big misses for me.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Never thought Brooks or anything from Drive in general was getting in. So that wasn't a surprise.

[Abraham Smashington]

still don't get why everyone loves Moneyball. It was a decent movie but nothing special at all.

[Anderson]

a sham?

A sham with a legacy.

[Abraham Smashington]

I just don't get it.

*High Five!*

Me neither! Don't plan to, for that matter. Because, quite simply, the one thing that we NYers can lay claim to that other people can't (unless you had someone traveling on those planes) is this: people outside of NY can't understand 9/11 the same way, simply because we were here and other folks weren't. I'm not saying it makes us better or smarter or more sensitive - I'm just saying, there's a difference between seeing the attacks on CNN and seeing them out your window. So yeah, not to stir up a whole 9/11 debate, but it'll probably be a cold day in hell before I'll bother seeing a 9/11 movie.

The only 9/11 movie that matters is Postal.

[Matt]

UNITED 93 was a damned good movie. Have zero intention of watching any other 911 films.

I like Pitt's work in it and like you said it's decent but I'm not sure why it's given the attention it has.

Not to start a debate but everybody experienced 9/11 and yes you guys experienced it up front and personal but that whole "we own 9/11" attitude is pretty redonk. What about all of the volunteers at ground zero? People came from all over the country to help in those efforts, were they not effected in the same way?

I'm not saying that being there wasn't more terrifying than watching on TV or anything like that. I'm just saying that NY'ers weren't the only people affected by 9/11.

What I do agree with is when you guys get hostile over the gawkers and "hey honey let's get a family photo ground zero." That shit is disgusting and demeaning to the events magnitude and any one doing that is lower than dog shit.

T.H.I.S!

[PHEDG]

Seriously though, this is the only 9/11 doc worth seeing.
