That's how a lot of Americans felt after the towers were hit. There was total bloodlust in the air and I remember hearing about how army recruitments sky rocketted. That was when Americans had a spine and weren't the wimpy commies that you see today.
youd think that trillions of dollars were invested in the propaganda that made americans hate every single arab, but in reality, all it took was for the CIA to have the main news networks put out the same message, essentially that america had been attacked
and when you think about it, no american really cares about the actual victims, the workers inside the world trade center, who were just a bunch of finance bros
>and when you think about it, no american really cares about the actual victims, the workers inside the world trade center, who were just a bunch of finance bros
Last year around 9/11 an anon claimed that a local newspaper in his small southern town printed a poem celebrating the attacks as divine revenge on the yankies. I don't know if that actually happened but it would've been funny.
It didn't matter who they were, it was an attack on US soil. Why wouldn't they be angry? It was probably the only time since WW2 that Americans were actually united in something.
Nowadays you'd have pussies trying to downplay the attacks and simp for the terrorists. Not back then, everyone was ready for war. (even if a decade later it seemed to be a disaster) You can watch old 9/11 footage that was filmed from the streets and you can hear people calling for blood. The towers had been bombed previously and everyone knew right away that it was another terrorist attack.
>Nowadays you'd have pussies trying to downplay the attacks and simp for the terrorists
nope. 9/11 showed us that americans are dumb cattle and can get psyopped into believing anything. they even rigged an election right in your face and americans did frick all and just let it happen.
i bought a blank cd from goodwill that said 9/11 on it.
I assume the mexican wamted to pirate farenheit 9/11 but he labeled a disc before he realized it was a cd and not a dvd
>Broadcast News (1987)
Interesting, well-acted and characterized, a real "intelligent comedy". Intentionally unsatisfying ending leaves you sighing, though William Hurt's performance in the brief epilogue scene is heartrendingly good.
>Head Office (1985)
As much of this list implies, I love business/80s corpokino and poking fun at the whole culture, but this one just came across as way too cynical and resentful. The structure is a mess, if you hadn't seen Judge Reinhold on the cover you'd spend the first thirty minutes wondering if it even had a protagonist. The film would rather spew out a machinegun stream of snark than actually build into a compelling narrative. Feels like a collection of skit scraps more than movie.
>Roxanne (1987)
About what you'd expect from a Steve Martin adaptation of not-Shakespeare. Love Hannah, but feel pretty neutral about the whole thing really.
>Other Peoples' Money (1991)
Lovely vibe in the beginning, though the middle dragged. Hard to really buy the "he's scummy, but she likes him??" romance aspect of this from Devito. Yet it was all made up for in the climax, which is brilliant and IMO totally worth the watch. Without giving too much away, it pleasantly "subverts your expectations" from what seems like is going to be a typical glurgy "win for the little guy" plot into something realer.
>Men at Work (1990)
A cable lazy saturday afternoon classic. Didn't really hold up as well as I'd thought. Estevez is competent but unremarkable.
>Weekend at Bernie's (1989)
Astonishingly, this held up MUCH better than I'd thought. As a kid, you focus on the hilariously improbable slapstick of Bernie's corpse. As an adult, the comedy supports its suspension of disbelief by focusing on a parade of stuck up shallow socialite egocentrism. It's great.
Oh, good, the thread is doing that thing where it's fricking autosaging so we can't talk about 80s movies because some janny got pissy over the 9/11 spam. Wonderful. Frick being allowed to have a conversation, right?

i dont like watching old movies because it makes me realise we dont live in good times anymore.
I like watching old movies because I can pretend we're still in good times. Also because most great movies are "old" now.
Explain how World Trade Center 7 magically collapsed on it's own or frick off
It died of a broken heart
It collapsed suddenly
ballistic debris + subsequent fire
Why didn't the other fricking buildings around it magically collapse from the same thing?
They dodged the debris.
luck
you... do know other buildings were destroyed by debris as well, right?
no they weren't
Where are the piles of alleged debris then? A few of those perimeter columns aren't enough to totally core out WTC6.
>ballistic debris and offices fires make a building collapse demolition style at free fall speed
Someone's been drinking a bit too much fluoride...
Have you seen pictures of Tower 7 before it fell? That shit was fricking rekt. It's actually amazing it held as long as it did.
Post the heckin photerinos

i bought a blank cd from goodwill that said 9/11 on it.
I assume the mexican wamted to pirate farenheit 9/11 but he labeled a disc before he realized it was a cd and not a dvd
forgot to add that i knew he tried to pirate it because there was a slipcover of farenheit 9/11 inside the dvd case
>he realized it was a cd and not a dvd
we used to put DivXs on CD-Rs and watch them on DivX-compatible DVD players though
