I recall reading something about a movie in the works less then six month after the attack. Though not this one. Far as I'm concerned its America getting back to normal, making lots of money off disasters.

Anyone else think they would have been hard pressured to find a worse looking actor for the role of Rudy? The person they have playing him is ugly as shit.

"The First 9-11 Movie" :?:

I thought FX did one on the Flight 93 people? About the morning of, or something, and it ended just as the plane takes off, IIRC.

America is already normal, and has been for over a year.

That's only if they are anti-Rudy and I don't think they are.

Actually it sounds like its about his whole term in office, which brings his screwed up devoice and many other things into, at one point his soon to be ex tried to throw him out of the mayors house...

Well the commercials show him saying things like he is the biggest raciest since whatshisname and somesuch, so I think it will probably end up bring things to light that he'd prefer remain buried.

I read a review that says it glosses over much of the controversy over him and makes him out to be more of a straight hero.

I haven't seen it though.

Oh and there was a play that was made into a movie called The Boys that was about a fire chief having to give the eulogy for about 350 firefighters I think and he doesn't know what to say. The play/movie follows him through the process of him writing it.

I think it was written a little while after 9/11.

Isn''t James Woods playing Rudy in this movie?

To go from banging Heather Graham to playing Rudy Guiliani in a TV movie...

Define "normal." The job market is still in the shitter, and the economy is... well... sickly at best.

Not really, perhaps the only positive affect would be to help consumer confidence, but in everyother way it takes a massive toll on the economy.

The economy has been poor many other times in history. It is not desirable, but it is normal.
