Title: 9/11
Post by: (e) on September 11, 2005, 11:13:59 AM: It\'s amazing too look back and see how many years its been, yet it still seems like yesterday.

Has anyone heard about the videogame/movie they are making on the attacks?

:mad: Idiots.

Post by: Living-In-Clip on September 11, 2005, 11:37:16 AM: Yeah - it\'s been four years. I remember it was the day I started my current job. Weird.

Oh well.

Post by: Knotter8 on September 11, 2005, 11:41:29 AM: Why are you curious about possible productions of games / movies related to the 9/11 event while your against it ?

WW2 happened, yet, to this day the media industries churn out massive WW2 movies and games.

Post by: Luke on September 11, 2005, 12:12:02 PM: I think it\'s a little too soon for a 9/11 movie.

WW2 was like 50 years ago. Thats a big difference from 4 years.

Post by: mjps21983 on September 11, 2005, 12:26:45 PM: Yea, Luke\'s right, they need to wait at least a decade or so before they make movies on such events like 9/11 unless your name is Michael Moore.

The other day I and a few people were talking about that it has been four years and somebody brought up if there would be any ceremony or whatnot, so I sarcastically said that they were going to celebrate it with a huge fireworks show......those stupid idiots did not see the irony of that statement and belived me.... I laughed

You can\'t just really move on. It will forever have a social impact on every generation from now on.

easy for you to say, you didn\'t have a loved one involved. You just watched it on the news like everyone else. Now you want to see an action movie or play a videogame about it, what\'s the point?

I can understand that making a movie or game about, or related to, the 9/11 event is going too far (at least, to a lot of ppl) but why then start a thread in which you try to inquire info on supposedly in development 9/11 games / movies ?

:confused:

He wasn\'t. He was just asking if anyone had actually heard of it before.

Post by: Halberto on September 12, 2005, 12:19:10 AM: It was a life changing moment for about everyone in the US. I can still remember what happened when I heard
Title: 9/11
Post by: Living-In-Clip on September 12, 2005, 03:29:41 AM: Let me rephrase - if you did not have a loved one that was struck by it, please move on. I did not have anyone in it - therefor, I can safely move on. Yes, it changed the world we live in, but I honestly have not given 9/11 any thought since four years ago.

I don\'t see the point in constantly looking back at it. We learned from it and now we need to move on.

Post by: Unicron! on September 12, 2005, 08:26:22 AM: Yeah people should forget what happened in the past, be passive about it, and not ponder about what this ment for their country :rolleyes:

People are moving on with their lives anyways.But it doesnt mean they wont talk about it, remember it or seek for answers.

Its ironic that people are being told that, while at the elections, parties were trying to remind people for the great terrorist attack.

Post by: mm on September 12, 2005, 09:15:50 AM: "move on" does not imply that we should forget

anyone forget the oklahoma city bombing?
world war II?
the fall of rome?

9/11 does not need a big theatrical production every year like the rose bowl parade

i remember my school had a "compassion seminar" on the 1 year anniversary of 9/11. i had to attend because i worked for the IT dept and didnt have a choice. they handed out small candles and said the "pledge of allegiance" in a big circle around the room. most surreal moment ever for me. :rofl:

Post by: Unicron! on September 12, 2005, 09:18:41 AM: I dont think anyone here overeacted about the incident. :confused:

Post by: mm on September 12, 2005, 09:31:58 AM: ok, how many more years do i have to see a 9/11 post on the offtopic forum...or hear someone talk about it?

what about 4/19? i dont see someone talk about that date every year.

or 10/24?

or 11/22?

these dates are meaningless to 99.9% of americans
:rolleyes:
Title: 9/11
Post by: Unicron! on September 12, 2005, 09:34:18 AM: 4 years after an attack as huge as the one that happened in 9/11 isnt a long time.

Also you should blame the elections for not letting go since that was a matter being brought up a lot this year

Like MM said, we never see anything about the Okalahoma City bombin\' and it was just as tragic.

Move on, people.

Thats not true. Every year on the bombings anniversary they have memorial services, news tidbits, articles etc.

The thing that makes 9/11 stand out is it was so massive. An airplane, into a building. Thats just fucking crazy.

I think we need to remember, and honor those lost- but we do need to look ahead.

(9/11 sellout example: IN town they are building a memorial - buy a brick with your name, or lost one. Subway bought one saying "Subway sponsors 9/11 tragedy". Terrible, just terrible :laughing: )
