Hollywood after Sept. 11 seems to look a lot like Hollywood last summer, notwithstanding a few shots of the Twin Towers edited out of credit sequences. So where are the Sept. 11 movies? The Guys, an indie film about a journalist and a mourning fire fighter, is in the works, but big-time filmmakers and TV executives still seem cautious about bringing the tragedy to the screen, worried they will be accused of bad taste...

The new episodes have a few World Trade Center references, and Chase cut the Twin Towers from the credits, where they used to be visible in the rearview mirror of Tony's car.

The issue is not environment vs. development or ecology vs. economy...

But I was born in 1937, so I would surely be dead before 2050. Hence I couldn't think of 2050 as a real date, and I couldn't grasp that the environmental risks were real...
