.....in seeing New York destroyed in yet another movie. Manhattan is my home, where I work, and where my children live and go to school. It's not just a fracking movie set. I know lots of you disagree, but I am another New Yorker who is totally fed up with seeing imagery of my home destroyed, over and over and over. I would feel the same way even without 9/11 having happened, but since it did, yes, there is always an abiding sense of dread here, knowing what a target the city was and still is, and people who say we should get over it should think twice about being so damn glib.
That said, I know that all I need to do to avoid experiencing this movie is to not see it, and I won't. I'm not disputing anyone's right to make this kind of film, but I am saying it's getting old.
