OK, so I’m going to be a little biased about this film. I’m a couple of degrees of separation from someone who died on Flight 93. I’m also biased because I met Paul Greengrass after I screened Bloody Sunday back in 2002. He was a very approachable, cool guy and I liked him quite a bit. The thing is, Bourne Supremacy was not that good. Like, it was surprisingly bad, actually.

However, I find myself really thinking this movie will be bad. At the very least I think it will be a bad experience for me. I am concerned it will be shallow, portray only how brave and wonderful the passengers were and not how the terrorists were people, too.

I think it’s still too soon for a big screen 911 movie because we get 911 thrown in our faces every damn time we turn on the news. I’m not kidding, either. Bush mentions 911 every time he needs more money or more of our rights taken away.

I suspect Flight 93 will bomb at the box office because people just don’t want to see a movie about this. In fact, according to this April 24, 2006 article at Variety.Com, most men surveyed are saying they are interested in seeing it above all other films this weekend, but everyone else surveyed say they’re definitely not interested. I’m thinking the guys are talking tough but the film will do nothing at the BO. We’ll see, I suppose…
