<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Ooooooh yeah. And I dunno, I just hope that folks don't pull a Columbine in the movie/tv bizz. This is indeed the Pearl Harbor of our generation (and far worse in some ways) yet I'd hope we can stop the damage from hurting other areas of society.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>There's no reason to eliminate these movies forever, a 3 month delay wouldn't hurt just to show they aren't heartless bastards. Reminds me of then the Buffy Finale was postponed because it involved school kids using guns.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah, that was pure Columbine syndrome horseshit. I mean, on Buffy... the kids were attacking a GIANT SNAKE. It's not what we call "realistic depiction" of school violence.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt arial; text-align: left; '>It's scheduled to come out in 9 months. If we're not capable of dealing with it by then, we've got bigger problems. They're removed the teaser trailer, and they'll probably get a new one, but they won't cancel the whole deal.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Why do that? The relevant stuff is the scene in the movie where robbers are webbed between the towers , and the towers reflected in Spidey's eyes, right? That seems like a positive depiction of them, not negative...and it's the terrorists who are fucked up, not the buildings.</div>
