Just wondering when people think the first movies will come out about the disaster.

ABC halted a TV series that has a hurrican in its pilot, thought the TV series is more about aliens I beleive.

I think it would be interesting to see a TV series that show different perspectives of such as disaster. Kind of like 3 rd watch or Boomtown but set in a disaster site such as New Orleans. Of course it might be a long time before networks are comfortable with producing such a show.

Personally I have an aversion to shows which just take off real life events, or base parts of actual events in the stories that only the mentally retarded couldn't figure out the reference.

Then again I hate anything disaster related, so I am a bit biased.

They're usually pretty awful to.

Isn't fox doing a show on the 9/11 flight that was headed to DC or something? Thought I saw a commercial.

Don't see how it could be any better than the real thing, watching the news reports.

I've got a pretty good script idea for a school shooting movie. It's not meant to glorify the kids who do it, just to offer a view from the other side of the looking glass. As one of the kids that alot of people were scared was gonna do that, I think I could make a pretty serious film that might make some of the in-crowd pieces of shit at high schools take another look at how they treat people.

Not like I'd ever actually get around to finishing the script and then producing it, but hey, I can dream about an award at the Cannes. :-p
