Ask this guy...

The bigger question is...who will pay to go see something like that?

Not I sez tough guy.

i would not be surprised if we see one in just a few months.

Touche !

I'd say in about a year, NBC will likely make a broadcast only documentary on the VT massacre.

I feel as though a movie (for paid audiences) should be held off until after a permanent memorial has been established.

I voted that they won't...but I will add the word "hope" to it. I *hope* a movie isn't made...but I have my doubts. Look at the Columbine shooting...already a documentary/movie has been made. *sigh*

I didn't see "Bowling for Columbine" to be in any way offensive to the Columbine incident and those involved. Exploitative of certain people, as are all Michael Moore movies, but not disrespectful overall. When I read this poll I was thinking of a dramatization type thing. I hope they never make that, and I doubt they will.
eta: wasn't Gus Van Zant's "Elephant" more relevant than Michael Moore's movie?

I say a made-for-TV movie on some big network channel, in about 2 years(possibly less).

I'm sure there will be a movie out too soon about this. I for one won't be seeing it.

Someone has probably already started buying film and collecting a cast.

I wouldn't honour that move with the description "documentary"

I voted 5 years since they took 5 years to make a movie about 9/11 but I saw on tv they're already chosing the actors for the Anaa Nicole Smith movie so yeah, I was wrong, maybe a year til they make a movie about that.

"The Unwussification of America" - starring Jack Bauer as "The Hero who saved the day" and some Arab-looking dude as Cho Hui

best answer yet

I voted "Other". Less than a year for a movie, but it will be exactly one year until somber-faced NBC talking heads assault us with: "The Virginia Massacre - One Year Later" There will, of course, be some inappropriate theme song for the hour long "Look Back" at the event. (Anyone remember the TV broadcasting company "tributes" to Princess Diana that used "Good Riddance" - otherwise known as "Time Of Your Life" - by Green Day as the theme song?)

Cynical? Maybe. Realist, says I.

I wonder how many people actually saw Bowling For Columbine or are just writing it off on the basis of Fahrenheit 9/11 and because "It's Michael Moore".

I thought that Bowling for Columbine was less of a hack job than Fahrenheit 9/11, but there you go...

I *actually* saw Bowling for Columbine. I have actually seen Fahrenheit 911. It was very hard to watch both. As far as it being a hack job, maybe...but it did cause me to think. However, I would hope that this tragedy does NOT make it to a movie/documentary.

I vote 4-5 but almost voted 2-3.
I hope it's NEVER.

I think it's HORRIBLE that they made a movie about 9/11. Ugh, I'd never watch that.

These school shootings are scary. I'm a teacher and this last week we had 2 lockdowns for violence in the city and/or threats.
