Daily Double: The answer is ~4 years. What's the question?
Read/Post Comments (1)
The question is:
How long would it take for Hollywood to tap into the September 11th attacks for movie ideas?
About 4 years or so. There are not one, but two individual movies coming out this year that deal directly with stories revolving around the attacks. "Flight 93" is about the heroes aboard flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania, while Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" is about the true story of the last two survivors (both of which are firefighters) pulled from the twin tower wreckage.
The answer (as of now) is:
Probably, but it's a touchy subject.
The question is:
Are people ready to see such movies?
------------------------------------
Just watched the Screen Actor's Guild Awards. I must say that it was the funniest awards show I've ever seen. Not because it was trying to be funny, but more because it was the most self congratulatory awards show I'd ever seen. It was chock full of "Acting is a noble profession" and "The work we do is important" talk. Perhaps the most self-congratulatory part of the show is how the producers of the show had actors introduce and self fellate the jobs they did in movies that were nominated. It was very odd. I think that the SAG awards should be one of those shows that is closed off to the public.
That being said:
Philip Seymour Hoffman is a bad ass and one of the best actors working. His speech was really great.
I fully stand by my, "Disband the Desperate Housewives" comment. They're a 5 headed menace to society.
"Crash" was the most overrated movie of the past year, filled with all kinds of cliches that seem ripped right out of a Sociology textbook. But at least it got the liberals who saw the movie talking, right?
Paul Giamatti was the surprise award of the night, hands down.
The cast of "Lost" won yet another award. I've said it once, I'll say it again, best show on television.
