Yep, I'm seeing it in the theatre, and I'll have an enormous, cathartic, howling cry.  It'll be good for me.

My question is this:

Is it appropriate to stuff your face with popcorn while watching it?  Skittles?  Nothing seems right.  Even sucking back an icy cold diet coke seems disrespectful.  Can I mournfully crunch nachos?  Eat a hot dog for liberty and freedom?  It's a conundrum.

I'll see it.  My sister's boyfriend's brother was on that flight.  (September 11th happened before my sister met her boyfriend though).  He was an aviation engineer and designer, and piloted smaller planes.  His family feels that if he had had the opportunity, he could have piloted that plane, with help from the ground.  They don't think he got the chance.

Uh...  Wouldn't that be like making out with your significant other during "Schindler's List?"  ;)

Not only no, but hell no.  Ditto what chefjudy said:

umm, probably not in the theatre, I have an aversion to flying anyway so when I find out a movie has something bad happening to the passengers (like turbulence or crashes etc) I tend to not want to see them - add to that the horror that plays in my mind regarding those terrorist-flown planes and what happended to all of them - let's just say, I'm real uneasy about seeing it visually...

Movie critics are allowed to eat popcorn? They actually serve popcorn? Somehow I pictured you in this incubator of movie-dom, separated from all things human, allowing the film to flow over, under, through, and in you, creating a sense of...

Oh never mind, you actually ate popcorn?
