Review: Zoolander

I also wondered about this - but IMHO it's pointless and revisionist. The buildings have been a big part of the NY skyline as well as life for a long time now, and I think it takes something away if they get edited out of films.
I disagree with the main point of "it won't offend anyone" - the most offensive thing was that 9/11 happened. People that saw the tragedy in NY and on screens round the world will have it marked indelibly into their brains and won't forget anytime soon, so it's not like films at the moment will be reminding us - it's still all over the news.
After the next few months - then I guess it's up to directors to decide. Maybe it'll be easier when they build something new.
