This list has been understandably quiet about Tuesday's carnage, but I just wondered if people had some reactions relevant to our topic. I think of such things as that common comment, "It looked like something out of a movie!" or "It looked like special effects!" Even Philip Noyce, who directed several of the Tom Clancy movies with Harrison Ford and who was near the World Trade Center, remarked that the crash looked "unrealistic." There are other ramifications, dealing with film marketing. For example, the trailer for the forthcoming SPIDER-MAN movie that featured a giant web slung between the two towers, has been pulled. And of course there are all the implications of how "terrorists" and terrorism, not to mention Muslims and Arabs in general, are and will be depicted. Thoughts?
