We’re shocked, shocked, that Paramount hired a rightward-leaning p.r. agency called Creative Response Concepts to promote World Trade Center to various right-wing lobbyists, think tanks and patriot groups. Expediency sure makes curious bedfellows, doesn’t it? If World Trade Center is warming the hearts of righties and Bushies and Iraq War supporters, fine. It’s a good film (okay, a little weak during the second act but it rebounds) without any big abrasion points for liberals, so why not? In a way, the absence of political content in World Trade Center makes for a kind of political content…which is probably what the righties are picking up on. But it’s fine. I mean, unless I’m missing something.
