People have written this morning about CNN.com’s “quick vote” question of the day, asking how many readers intend to see United 93 when it opens on 4.28. (CNN’s idiot search engine won’t take you to it, but the “quick vote” thing is on the lower right portion of the page.) One reader told me 80% of the respondents have said they would not see the film. Another reported that as of 10:15 this morning that of the 42,555 who’ve answered the poll so far, only 8474 respondents — a bit less than 20% — said they’d be seeing the film. Maybe if Universal and exhibitors made a special offer to pass out little pink and blue baby blankets to first-weekend patrons, so they could have something to hug and cover themselves with as they watch it…?
