Over at his primary site, Jim mentions that the first trailer is out for Oliver Stone’s 9/11 movie — World Trade Center.

Here’s the bottom line for me:

I tried to watch the trailer for United 93, and couldn’t make it all the way through. It evoked such a strong reaction that I had to turn it off after a minute and a half.

On the other hand, not only did I make it all the way through the Stone trailer, I didn’t feel anything. Nothing. Nada. I might as well have been watching a trailer for Firebirds (the worst movie ever made).

I can’t say I’m surprised. Oliver Stone hasn’t been a very good moviemaker in many, many moons.

Jim: What blew my mind was how… schmaltzy the trailer was. “I’ll follow ya, Sarge!” I remember discussing this movie a long while back on Cam’s program - and Cam feared a typical JFK-style paranoid conspiracy theory docudrama from Oliver Stone. The marginal good news is, we didn’t get a movie insinuating that the Mossad, CIA and Halliburton teamed up to commit the attacks; instead, we got… well, something one step removed from the Michael Bay action thrillers that “Team America: World Police” was mocking.

“I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark… when he made Pearl Harbor… I miss you more than stupid movie missed the point… and that’s an awful lot, girl, and now… all I can think about is your smile… and that sh*tty movie too… Pearl Harbor sucked… and I miss you.”
