For surely “we the people” are able (but are we willing?) to recapture the bridge of the ship of state, and seize the helm from postmodernist hijackers.

After many attempts to leave a comment (confound you, pesky Firefox ad), I hope this works. I saw the <a href="http://www.sineadgleeson.com/blog/2006/05/19/a-quick-word-on-united-93/" rel="nofollow">Greengrass version</a> last week and it's pretty terrifying. I felt a bit queasy for a good while afterwards. Is the TV version any good? Hurrah! After many attempts to leave a comment (confound you, pesky Firefox ad), I hope this works.

Is the TV version any good?

However, I [personally] do not believe such films glorify the acts of a few radical Muslims. Perhaps they glorify the victims and the uncanny courage they demonstrated under unfathomable conditions … no one will ever know how many thousands of our fellow humans were saved due to their actions. And, I do believe their actions went beyond trying to save their own lives. Religion had nothing to do with the events of 911. Perhaps a rather abstract interpretation of what under normal circumstances is a very peaceful religion played apart … but that is not the fault of that religion, or the vast majority of those who practice it.

Another flick glorifying death by muslim. Yes it gives a big helping of HERO to those who tried to stop what was happening (i.e. save their lives) what it does not address is the fact that we in the so called civilised world will not be free of fear until the radical fundamentalists within islam are either brought to book or eliminated. Yes it is an historic fact. Yes a lot of innocent people died. Yes america was and is pissed off. Yes I am pissed off…….I am white european, non religious and left wing but I am a bit scared, in fact I am very scared for me and my Children. I know that these mindless bastards will hit my city again. I just hope that my Family is not caught up in it next time. Surely it’s time to examine ALL religion, for this is the cause of the vast majority of all our problems. [CAPITALS LEFT OUT] Yeah brilliant. Another flick glorifying death by muslim.

That's not available in Xtravision. The film you can get in Xtravision, which is directed by someone called Peter Markle, is called Flight 93, and is different. As simon said, it's a TV movie which is probably being released to coincide with the bigger one. Okay, to clear this up:

All of the 'Flight 93' movies thus far have been executed with phenominal taste. A&E ran 'Heros of Flight 93' a few months back, a docu drama which included interviews with family members. If you have the 'on demand' feature on your cable, you can rerun it. It will be worth the watch.
