"September 11th is So Hot Right Now."
September 11th, coming soon to a theatre near you. I loathe the whole idea of 9/11 movies, so I suppose I should be outraged by this, but for some reason I'm not. (Scroll down to the photos.) There can't be any 9/11 humor, can there? Ever?

The Onion actually managed to be funny not long after 9/11. I'll never forget the logo of a U.S map licked by flames, centered in the sight of a rifle, with the legend, "Holy Shit!" They also had the terrorists waking up in hell, being tortured by the Islamic version of demons (they'd done research!) and going, "Wait a minute, where are the the virgins?" I laughed.
During that shadowed first year, I had a fantasy for a sentimental 9/11 movie. I had it, I think, because I was missing the towers so much (never did like them, but discovered I'd loved them). In it, a kid who's lost a parent in the attacks dreams (or is it a dream?) that he goes out of his house at night and the towers are there, all lit up. And all the people who died are forever alive in there, sort of like angels, doing good. I never told anybody about this idea before, and I hope this movie never gets made.
I stopped missing the towers, ceremonially, after the first anniversary.
