This movie has become a blogger driven success. Everyone was talking about this movie monday morning. More of an event than a movie if you ask me.

“Snakes on a Plane” was the weekend’s top-grossing film, but its $15.2 million box-office bite was a disappointment for a film that has been buzzed about on the Internet for months.

America is ready for movies about 9/11 as a third place finish tells us. I personally will see this movie.

Most moviegoers opted for comedy and dance after a week dominated by news of thwarted terror plots and Middle East bloodshed but “World Trade Center,”Oliver Stone’s new film about the September 11 attacks, managed a No. 3 finish at the box office.

Could this be a response to last months Burn to DVD launched by CinemaNow? Sounds like it…

Accused often of being anti-consumer when it comes to digital media, the movie industry has plans to relax controls over how films are copied to DVDs.In the past, watching a movie downloaded off the Web meant viewing it on a PC. Soon, people will be able to copy a digital movie onto a specially made DVD under rule changes expected to be adopted by the DVD Copy Control Association, the group that produces the technology designed to prevent DVDs from being copied.

Last night I watched this paid spot for the new Oliver Stone picture dealing with a specific story line from 9/11. The show was hosted by John Norris of MTV fame. On the panel was Oliver Stone, Nick Cage, Michael Pena and Will Jimeno the Port Authority officer for which the story is based on.

It was a paid spot but it was well done. The main theme or questions asked by the audience was, is this movie too early? Has enough time passed by? Many felt no and many felt yes. Citing the movie as part of the healing process, knowing the truth, etc.

I personally think it’s great we are starting to talk about what happened in the main stream arts and media. If you think it’s too soon then don’t go see the movie and vote with your dollar. This after all is America and we believe in free speech and capitalism. If you think it’s time to have a national dialogue on the subject go support the movie. If not exercise your rights not to see it.

I will go see this movie and the pain it brings up I will funnel into making sure our way of life is not killed, that we live in a FREE and BRAVE and America!

Here is the short synopsis

True story of Will Jimeno and John McLoughlin, two Port Authority police officers who rushed into the burning World Trade Center on 9/11 to help rescue people, but became trapped themselves when the tower collapsed. A race against time ensued to free them before their air ran out.

We are getting so close to my dream of having every great sports moment on demand via the Internet. I would love to have access to all of the greatest boxing fights from Ali on up. This is great news from ESPN! I only hope my cable provider has this option. Gotta go check…

It’s a sports fan’s dream: instant, on-demand access to classic sports moments like Muhammad Ali’s knockout of Sonny Liston in 1965 or Dwight Clark’s leaping catch in the back of the end zone to take the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 1982 or Kirk Gibson’s last-gasp home run to win Game 1 of the 1988 World Series for the Dodgers.ESPN took a major step toward this goal in June when it consolidated many of its archives in its on line video service called ESPN 360. The hitch is that you have to be a subscriber to Verizon, Adelphia or another of a handful of regional broadband providers to have access to all the film in the ESPN 360 service.
