What Movie Will We Watch This Week?

13 2012-01-30 by highlady420

UPDATE: Voting is closed for this week and we appear to have a winner. 9/11 Missing Links with 9 votes, I did find a better quality version of it. Even if only slightly.

I know a lot of us are still working on the discussion for last weeks selection, but I wanted to open up voting to pick a video for this week. So start suggesting, the votes will be tallied tomorrow (Tuesday January 31st) at 8pmish EST. I want to give more time for people to nominate & vote.

Also if anyone else is interested in posting these let me know. I jumped in to keep things moving forward. I will keep doing it, I don't mind, I just don't want to seem like a usurper or something.

Update: There are about 2 more hours to nominate and vote today. I'll update again once the voting is closed. Thanks everyone!

I think we should all watch the pilot episode of the Lone Gunmen. It aired in March 2001, and the plot is eerily familiar to 9/11. The following is the plot:

"The debut of the show in March 2001, began with Byers' father faking his death to uncover a conspiracy to hijack an airliner. The Lone Gunmen try to get to the truth of his supposed death and uncover the conspiracy.

One retrospectively interesting aspect of this pilot episode is that the airliner has been hijacked (via remote control of the plane's autopilot) and, by the end, both Byers and his father have boarded the plane to try to stop the hijacking. Through the aid of the other Gunmen, they are able to regain control of the plane and just miss crashing into the World Trade Center with the airliner. This, of course, was before the actual 9/11 attack against the World Trade Center later that year. Similar to actual conspiracy theories posited about the events of 9/11, the episode's plot indicates that the hijacking was committed as an act of voracity by a greedy American arms manufacturer to ultimately increase its weapons sales by invoking U.S. retaliation against a scapegoated anti-American extremist dictator.[2]"

Whad'ya think? This episode adds a whole new meaning to "stranger than fiction"

We - Arundhati Roy. Examines the relationship between power and powerlessness as well as the loss of imagination in relation to a dualist view of the world.
