Tower Power?

World Trade Center.jpg
So, call me the eternal pessimist (lord knows I have my moments) but is anyone else just completely apathetic towards this new Oliver Stone World Trade Center movie? After the quasi-neo-realist United 93 proved relatively ineffectual (which, granted, I also did not see) I cannot imagine the need for a patriotic Nicholas Cage movie about the twin towers. Press so far has been all but insipid. What's more, it's supposed to be desparately safe! Oliver Stone?! And at least I haven't been hearing this, "if you don't see it, you're not American," bullshit that made that drug crazed anti-semite all of that money a couple years back with that whole S/M Jesus movie. I guess it's just Hollywood cashing in on all of that pain. I mean, really.

About

Film @ Flukiest is devoted to the analysis of contemporary film and to observing how the oldies might hold up, years after their execution. There is a certain tendency to focus on those films that lie at the fringes of respectability. But that's probably why you're here instead of at RogerEbert.com.
