A Day Off
I took a day off from things today. Unintentional, but probably overdue. I haven't actually watched an entire tv show in over three months, not that I've missed much. I wanted to see the local candidates for sheriff talk on News Channel 15 at 7pm. My thoughts on the best performances: Griffith for the GOP, and Taviano for the Dems.
After that, CSI came on. There was a time,not long ago, when I never missed an episode of this, regular or syndication. Anyways, I got sucked in, and enjoyed the story. I checked the tv guide (I actually FOUND it), and noted that A&E had a 2006 movie entitled "Flight 93". Had to check that out. Very powerful, still a little shaken from it as I type this. I could type a long rant about how we took our eye off of the ball, and why are we in Iraq instead of chasing the perps behind this, but. . . .we all know everything there is to say on this subject. I hope you caught this film as well.
Human, I know your 10-40, but am curious as to how close that was to this event. Pretty damned close from what I have gathered, at least on the flight path. Please share with us if you have such to share.

The movie? It was difficult to watch in several places.
The day? Didn't do much at all, some shopping, that's about it.
LAST weekend. . .carnival at Sam's school fri. nite, zoo on Sat., and the circus on Sunday. Whew.
I know what you mean about tv watching. Except for the news shows, I couldn't tell you about any show on tv.
Just got back from watching Flight 93 at the theater (12:05 showing) at the Rave. It was a matinee of course, but the attendance was very poor. I would say 6% capaticy. My guess is the afternoon and evening shows are more busy.
When I returned this afternoon, I caught the end of the A&E version (which I saw in entirity before).
My wife and I agree that the A&E version is just about as good at the movie version. The movie version does show more blood and uses the "F" word a few times. I was a little worried about how I would feel seeing the movie, but now that I did, I can't say I feel much different than I did before. The only difference is a stronger hatred towards the monsters that did this to us. The ending of the movie version was not as good as the A&E version. Not that it matters much, but if you don't want to know, then don't read on.
The movie version just shows a black screen as the plane is going down - the end.
I think the movie was done with the proper respect. No big name actors, no loud drama music and no added action. I would recommend the movie, but not for young kids, unless you feel like talking about everying to them later.
When I said I didn't feel much different, it's probably because I have already felt the pain, emotion and hatred, and I am already scarred, so seeing it again didn't set off any unknown feelings, but it did heighten the hatred feelings that had subsided a bit over the years.
"TV Guide" was the family bible.
Not much time for tv for me. I got some "News" playing when I blog. Its fun and infuriating. To listen to the lies while reading about them and other not mentioned stuff on the net.
Unless a film about 911 that attempts yo uncover the truth don't have any interest in it.
On my Loc and perception on that day I will e-mail you about it. Personal OPSEC in the game of the day.
Peace.
