Thumbs up World Trade Centre. Consider this....

Instead of going to the cinema to watch it, buy it on pirate from a chinky guy in the pub. By doing so, you are indirectly funding terrorism and, with that, the circle of irony is complete.

Am I the only one who feels uneasy about the ethics over the sensationalisation of such a grossly evil act of terrorism?

Although, I suppose it sums up the "American way" to a Tee; Big Bangs, lots of deaths, mass destruction, and uncle sam getting the better of the baddies.

I'd rather have my gums sliced with a tramps rusty razor than watch that yanky 'triumph over adversity' pile of plop

more like he uses the cash in the pub on pints which are heavily taxed and the government wisely spend this money on, amongst other things, fighting terrorism. so do the right thing and buy your DVDs from the chinky guy and do your bit!

Cant see the difference between this and Schindlers List, Titanic, Saving Private Ryan etc. WTC concentrates on those who survived a man made tragedy. The other 3 do the same.

Different themes though. Ethnic clensing, Accident, War. All of which are over and done with and well into the past.

A film based on a terrorist act wherby the situation of the terrorism threat from Al-qaeda still exists. They'll probably show extracts in their training camps and say proudly "look, our Martyrs did this, look how great our destruction is to the American pigs".

Fair comment mate. Never thought to look at it that way.

I'm starting to see some people on here for who they really are. Racist bigots have no place on this forum and many will take great offence at some the remarks made on this thread.
