Have any of you stopped to consider that the days of the big Hollywood blockbuster where buildings are destroyed in spectacular fashion are now over?
Watching that second plane hit the WTC, I couldn't help but think of that scene in The Matrix where the copter crashes into the glass front building. Much of the attitudes and reaction of people reminds me of The Seige with Denzel Washington. As I sat watching the initial coverage on Tuesday, I kept thinking I was watching a Die Hard movie. Remember all the destruction shown in Independence Day, Armageddon and others that showed real world landmarks being obliterated?
I submit that we will never see a new movie that features any type of wholesale destruction of buildings ever again.
