"If so, you could storm theaters and burn every print, or just, you know, don't give it your dollars."
Except, of course, no one suggested for a moment that anyone should ban the film or destroy the prints. Nobody has even suggested anything as tame as a boycott. Some people have just expressed their personal aversion to the premise of the film - mostly New Yorkers who see the poster of the decapitated State of Liberty while they're standing on the subway platform and are revolted by it. Honestly, I have no interest in seeing any of the 9/11 movies - tasteful or not. It's just that this one seems particularly crass and exploitative.
Maybe some people are up for this particular roller coaster ride. Personally I'd rather ride the Cyclone and at least enjoy myself before I throw up.
