Apologies Peter, not swallowed, moderated. You should be free to comment at will from here onwards.

Oh, and I’ve written not one but two fairly thoughtful (ie non-silly) comments on the miniblog this evening, and both seem to be swallowed. Rather vexing. One on colour and one on text editors.

The thought of that film makes me really uncomfortable; I still can’t bring myself to watch it.

Did they mention that one of the leading fight-backers was gay?

I actually held off for a long time from watching this movie. I felt that it was unwise to go about creating a movie based around the events it depicts and that there stood a large chance it would either ‘Hollywoodise’ the situation(s) that took place, or show them in a tasteless manner.

Fortunately, in watching a short time before Christmas, I was pleasantly surprised. It focused in equal measure on the inefficiencies in the security system and communication networks, as well as the sheer heroism and trials of the passengers and crew on UA93.

Thumbs up from me. Still unsure whether to see ‘World Trade Centre’ as yet.
