this was fact right in front of my eyes that couldn't be disputed.

Actually Jax, yes it can. Do some research about that meeting and don't count on a movie that Spike Lee put together with an OBVIOUS agenda in mind to give you all of the facts.

Google is your friend.

The fact that you consider yourself open minded yet cite that movie is astounding to me.

i know it's redundant to chime in with an 'i agree' comment, but i wanted to say that i'm not a huge spike lee fan (loved 'do the right thing' but have hated all his other narrative films), but 'when the levees broke' is fantastic and totally worth checking out.

Yup Jac and God bless children! They're blessings. :)

2008-03-04T14:53:00.000-08:00

Actually I WISH my only motivation was pissing people off. I could do MUCH better and have a lot more fun with that, if it were my goal to actually irritate you. Hell, I already know what it takes, we've all taken a page or two from Les Suckno.

2008-03-04T14:52:00.000-08:00

Ohhh I get it now. I hurt lil Molly's feelers so she's gonna go around warning people about my opinions. Speaking of babies, you're one yourself, if you're getting all pissed off about a random person's opinions. What the hell do YOU care about what I think? Methinks you care a little too much...

So fucking what. So people with kids are usually morons who dont raise them right. So having children is a fucking every day event that doesnt need a parade. So the French are snotty, and the Canadians repeatedly criticize American culture without actually extricating themselves from it. BIG FUCKING DEAL. GET OVER IT.

2008-03-04T14:44:00.000-08:00

Jac ignore the troll. She insulted Canadians yesterday and today she's insulting people with babies, babies, and the French. She posts just to piss people off so don't take the bait and just ignore her.

Good god, French people do not despise America!, Where in hell did you get that?
I'm totally sure it was the Academy that awarded the "highest honour" and not Marion banging down the doors on the judging panel begging for it.
Its an honour but its an award for acting, its not a bravery medal its not citizenship...its acting.

*highest acting honor, excuse me

2008-03-04T13:18:00.000-08:00

I think more people are just upset that she opened her big fat mouth on an issue that doesnt concern her, an issue high on emotions. But then, thats nothing new with Hollywood, right? They all think that just because they have an opinion that everyone should have to hear it. Certainly doesnt help that she's French. In fact, that probably makes people even madder. Its no secret that the French cant even think about Americans without at least an internal rolling of the eyes. Why would we want a woman coming from a country who despises us, to win our highest honor, AND cricitize our government as willing to slaughter thousands for the sake of the insurance? I dont blame anyone for being offended by her.

There was A lengthy, pre-9/11 legal battle over the WTC's asbestos problems

2008-03-04T13:02:00.000-08:00

Asbestos was banned in the mid-1970s. It was used only up to the 64th floor of the twin towers and above that substitutes had to be used. I've never heard that the WTC owners had to remove the asbestos that was there. That would be ridiculous because it would just release it into the air which would be harmful and which is exactly what happened after the towers collapsed.

2008-03-04T12:47:00.000-08:00

Jac, one of the comments I'd read from a Hollywood something or other said he felt they were anti-American. I think carolmr may be saying the same thing.

I think if that's what dragged us into the war, everyone in countries all over the world were affected and have the right to say whatever they want. They're not criticizing America or Americans, mind you, just stating their opinion about what happened.

I don't believe the conspiracy theories, but I respect their right to state them. ;-)

Oh, and former brother-in-law had just gotten off the train and left the WTC when the first plane hit, so our family was also affected, but luckily we suffered no loss.

2008-03-04T12:46:00.000-08:00

Actually, she has retracted. This is what she said.

“At no point did I intend to contest the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001, one of the most tragic days in all of history. Nonetheless, I sincerely regret if my comments offended or hurt anyone.”

I really don't get what her nationality has to do ...

2008-03-04T12:34:00.000-08:00

I really don't get what her nationality has to do with it?

Nothing she has said or has supposed to have said has in any way tarnished or belittled the suffering felt by 9/11.

Just to be clear, there are fair number of 9/11 fa...

2008-03-04T12:21:00.000-08:00

Just to be clear, there are fair number of 9/11 families who believe the gov't had something to do with the tragedy. Just google Jersey Girls.

The insurance pay-off was only a part of the whole thing, a side benefit if you will. If the WTC hadn't been destroyed that day, the owners were going to have to shell out billions in order to remove the asbestos that is now causing so many health problems among first responders and other residents of NYC.

Google PNAC and A New Pearl Harbor for the real reason the attacks occurred and were blamed on Muslim fanatics. A traumatic, cataclysmic event had to happen in order to convince the populace to agree to ruinous wars of choice in the ME, both for oil and for US hegemony. PNAC laid out the plans well before 9/11.

2008-03-04T12:03:00.000-08:00

Thanks, jax. I'm sure Ms. Cotillard is not trying to dishonor the memory of the 9-11 victims. But these conspiracies coming from the show business crowd are ridiculous. Fire doesn't melt steel? Rosie, try telling that to a steelworker. It was a bomb and not airplanes that destroyed the twin towers? Some people are even claiming that these planes never hit the towers. My sister actually saw the second plane hit the second tower from her office window several blocks away. But Charlie Sheen of Beverly Hills knows better. And, again, what would the French think if an American actress blamed a French act of terrorism on her government or the French insurance companies?

2008-03-04T11:55:00.000-08:00

Yeah, it looks like EL is going off of old information. He also says she couldn't care less if she ever works in Hollywood again, and I just read she's signed on to do two more movies - "Public Enemies" and a film version of the musical "Nine".

2008-03-04T11:35:00.000-08:00

Well, her PR peeps are saying A LOT, the comments werent posted by ENT. So contrary to what is being reported on this blog, Marion IS bowing to the pressure, saying the statements were taken out of context, blah, blah, blah. She hasnt been able to sleep, blah, blah, blah.

Keep up ENTY.

2008-03-04T11:23:00.000-08:00

I love conspiracies, and I am willing to listen to every one of them with an open ear because it makes life more interesting.

She is entitled to her opinion and I admire her for not backing down. With that said, come on! The plane that hit the Pentagon just disintegrated? Where was the wreckage? How come the original damage looks like a missile before the building started to cave in? Ugh - if you want to lie to people, do it right under their nose.

oh, who gives a shit??? this isn't even a story.

2008-03-04T11:15:00.001-08:00

2008-03-04T11:15:00.000-08:00

i'm a big fan of the truth no matter who it comes from but yes i get some people aren't into their work. this was fact right in front of my eyes that couldn't be disputed.

i actually don't even agree with what Marion said,it's a lil crazy lol but i give her props for having an opinon and actually caring. there are alot of people outside of N. America who don't care about 9/11 anymore. sad.

2008-03-04T11:05:00.000-08:00

It doesn't surprise me, Jax, although I'm not really a Spike Lee/Michael Moore fan.

Let's make sure a president like Bush doesn't happen again....lol.

(And I vote both ways - for Republican AND Democratic candidates.)

2008-03-04T10:57:00.000-08:00

Twist i hear ya..but i'm not kidding you in the movie at the very end is the videotape of the video conference he had with the big wigs of weather and they tell him in no uncertain terms that its going to happen in less than 72 hours and he thanks for them " for telling me about the big storm"
no shit.
everyone needs to watch that movie.
anyway my point wasnt to bash Bush, but to say hello let's talk about this and make sure it doesn't happen again.

2008-03-04T10:51:00.000-08:00

I hate Bush, but the governor of LA and the mayor of N.O. should both be getting blasted along with Bush, yet they're not. They dropped the ball over and over and nobody says squat about that.

See, I think it's the hatred for Bush that prompts the conspiracy theories and the reason he alone gets the blame for Katrina. I'm into the hate, but it's got to be rational.
