It’s just like American culture and Hollywood to bring historic events to film.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it’s just a flat-out bad idea.  United 93 is just that…a bad idea.  Beyond the fact that the “ending” is predictable and that we already know many of the facts surrounding the taking down of flight United 93, it’s perhaps one of the worst film ideas I’ve seen yet.  I don’t mean it to be a disservice to the memory of those that went down in that flight, but what I see is a film company [Universal Studios] capitalizing off the tragedy of thirty-some passengers and staffers and all of their family members.

I for one, will NOT see this movie.  I suggest the same for the rest of my fellow Americans.  We need not encourage Hollywood to profit off recent tragedies.  That’s just plain tacky.
