 		She's the self-appointed official spokeswoman for the entire population of New York City. She also possesses a superpower that allows her to hear the sound of clenching teeth.

 		can someone please drag her out in the street and beat her with a rolled up cloverfield poster?

all I read is, "BS. BS. BS. Love your show. Hate your show. Like this. Hate that. Blah blah. Thank you for Lost. Don't pick on NYC. I think your movie is Godzilla. Love your glasses."

ugh.

I think its seeing peeps enveloped in smoke, that seems to snag a nerve...
But then it would be a lame monster movie without destruction.

She links a book of hers on that page, not much info on amazon.

 		Geez, 2 weeks before the movie comes out & all the nuts are running loose.

The LAST thing this movie made me think about was 9/11. Believe me, with all the media coverage it had, NONE of us is gonna forget that day, but we are gonna get OVER IT.

I read it. This woman is a nut, and probably agrees with things that someone like Ann Coulter would say. I didn't see anything in that made me think feminism though. But she could possibly be a radical feminist. They irk me and ruin it for everyone.

But to be honest, except for the first 2 seasons of "Felicity" (until the episode where she did it with Simon Rex)

Doesn't this tell you this woman is a bit of a prude and a flake?
Someone having sex 'ruined the show' for her, and she apparently stopped watching.

Think she's a little uptight and flakey?

Oh, there's plenty of imagery that's suggestive of 9/11. When they posted photo #4 (12:48 AM) on 1-18-08.com with the people moving through the smoke it definitely reminded one of the people fleeing the collapse of the WTC. And I'm sure if any of these "politically correct for fame and profit" people who are attempting to create some kind of backlash actually saw the scene in the five minute preview clip showing the collapse of the Woolworth Building they'd have a cow. It pancakes down just like the twin towers did. They'd be raising hell if any of them actually saw that.

But having said all that, this is clearly a work of fiction, depicting the surreal mayhem associated with a monster of some kind. Yes, it plays upon our modern fears in the same way that Godzilla played on the fears associated with nuclear weapons and testing in the 1950's. Does that make it tasteless or inappropriate? No, it makes it fascinating. In the aftermath of 9/11, one of the most common descriptions of eyewitnesses was that it all seemed like a disaster movie. People used that metaphor to try to come with grips with what they experienced. It doesn't seem inappropriate, then, that we come full circle and incorporate some of that imagery in a film.

 		An awesome article on why we love to destroy NYC is here from 2005:
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/12/15/welcome_back_king_kong/

My favorite quote to all those people whining about the destruction of NYC from the article above is here:

Quote:
Rather than bemoan the degradation of our insensitive culture, we should celebrate these fantasies.

New York has been destroyed for so long -- since the early 19th century when it came to be America's first city -- that it is somehow reassuring to see the tradition continue. When New York is no longer destroyed, on film, in flight simulator software, video games and paintings -- that will be a sign that the city no longer dominates America's, and the world's, imagination. And if New York is no longer the setting of our worst fears, then it may also no longer be the home of our greatest hopes.

And that would be the beginning of the city's end.
