I did. I was bored. A single guest entry three and a half weeks out isn't exacty a comeback...

Ha ha - welcome back to blogging just the same, Jesse. :) Great review - do you have any thoughts about taking kids to see it (ages 8 and 11 and the 11 yr old especially remembers 9/11)?

hard to say...It was pretty intense, and there was some language and violence...probably around 12ish

I've not seen this movie yet, and have been mulling over whether or not I'm ready to. I don't think it's too soon for the movie to be out -- just maybe too soon for me to see it.
Since I deal with these issues every time I go to work, it's frequently troubling, but we still go out there every day and do the best we can.
One of the things that hasn't seen much reporting is what happened to the flight attendants. We know about the passengers and pilots. But what about the Flight Attendants? Was their "story" told in the movie?
This would probably help me decide if I'm ready to see it.

I saw the same reaction when I went to see "Passion of the Christ". Sounds to me like another great one.

What Sean said.
I went to see "The Passion" with my Dad and sister. I could not for the life of me understand why they had boxes of kleenex spread all over the theatre until I saw the movie.
Yeah, I got it after that.
The only thing about United 93 is "Can I see it?" 9/11 is still fairly raw for me, and I haven't flown on a plane since then.
Time will tell. Perhaps I can go to McDonalds and rent it for $1 ;)

9/11 will be raw to a lot of us for a long time. I mean life as we know has been forever tainted because of it. But once the desire to know first hand or try to get as close to a visual as one possibly can does put a different spin on the emotion. I am sure if you saw the documentary the two french guys did on 9/11 but that to me was riviting.

Actually, I would say it was. About a third of the plane scenes were the terrorists, a third were the passengers, and a third were the crew

I've flown on several planes since 9/11...it was a little creepy the first time, but I didn't find it a huge deal, though I can definitely understand why someone would want to avoid flying. As for it still being raw, I think that's probably true for a lot of people. I still find it haunting every time I see a video clip or picture of one of the planes flying into the buildings. I think I'd still recommend seeing it

"Was it too soon after 9/11? Most people don’t think so"
Wow, who are these 'most people'?
I rarely watch this kind of stuff - what has it added that we didn't know already? What is the point of raking up this tragedy (apart from to make some filmmakers cash - unless that's being donated to some worthy casue? I doubt it)
Oh well, that's "drama"

The families of the victems, for one, and the half of America that loved Fahrenheit 9/11 so much. If they didn't find it too soon after 9/11 for a fictional "documentary" on it, then surely they didn't find it too soon for such a good film.
what has it added that we didn’t know already?
Quite a bit, actually, unless you've read the 9/11 Comission, and just about every other bit of evidence from that day. I learned a lot

Actually, a significant portion of the income is being given, I believe, to a 9/11 memorial or something like that. They aren't pocketing all of it
