A World With One Rule

And that rule: No more burning buildings.

I don’t really get the outrage. It was one thing to complain about Cloverfield…though I disagreed, I understood why some might get upset about the 9/11 imagery in that film (which was, admittedly, pretty striking). But are we at the point where no building can be shown in structural distress? Corollaries to this rule:

–No more showings of Independence Day;
—The Towering Inferno is right out;
—Donnie Darko doesn’t end with Donnie getting crushed by a jet engine

In all seriousness, this is just another example of New Yorkers thinking everything is about them. Get over yourselves.
