Loose Change, the Fifth Cut

Good lord, it never ends:

Dramatically narrated by Daniel Sunjata, currently starring on FX’s critically acclaimed “Rescue Me” as Franco Rivera, “Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup” explores historical events that reshaped the world – from the Reichstag Fire in 1933 that catapulted Hitler to dictatorship - to the Gulf of Tonkin Incident in 1964 that led to the Vietnam War. The film leads the audience through a roller-coaster of pivotal history before delving into the largest event of all - 9/11. The film analyzes the steps America took in the aftermath of the disaster, and the suspicious events that followed.

Filmmaker Dylan Avery’s vision and hope is for those affected by 9/11 to receive the answers they seek. He asks for a fundamental call to action, as displayed in the previous “Loose Change” films, and supports the 9/11 truth movement by seeking honesty and clarity from those who have covered up actual events. A topic that inspires passion among many, the producers are actively seeking celebrities to be a voice for those whose questions have remained unanswered to date.

For some unknown reason, they are releasing the film on 9/22/09. At least, that is the current projected release date; we all know that Dylan seldom meets his deadlines. Here's Dylan and Sunjata on the Jack Blood show (MP3 file) to discuss the latest iteration.

Update: Listening to Dylan now. Some things are pretty clear; Dylan's other projects didn't pan out. He hints but does not directly say what's been pretty obvious to me; he made Loose Change not to be a 9-11 conspiracy guy but to be a filmmaker. You can sense this when he talks about how he was done making 9-11 CT films after Final Cut. Also note how he dances around the reason for the lack of success with FC; as we said at the time, it was more of a LIHOP film, but obviously he doesn't want to acknowledge that so Blood helps him out by saying the film was "more accessible".

My advice to Dylan remains the same; if he really wants to be a filmmaker he's probably got enough experience that he could get into a film school, which is what he should be concentrating on.

Update: Unsecured Coins has an announcement as well:



Update II: The news has electrified the Loose Change forums; so far there's one thread on the new movie with one comment:

Sound like a whole new angle on Loose Change.

Full-on kookery.

Fox News Commentator Rips Into Daniel Sunjata

As George Monbiot said, "The great virtue of a fake conspiracy is that it calls on you to do nothing.". FoxNews commentator Greg Gutfield takes a similar theme:

I just hate how the media treats those who spout such theories as risk-takers — when they're really just cowards.

Peter Tolan, the show's producer, defends Sunjata as "well read" and thinks it's great that "he's passionate about it." I guess if you feel strongly about something, then it's OK if you're wrong. See Mark David Chapman.

Look, the fact is, actors who barf this crap are doing it for their own egos. It makes them feel smart, because for once they're spouting something provocative instead of puerile. Never mind that it's an insidious insult to the victims of 9/11 — as it is to the rest of us, who may or may not be guilty, according to Sunjata's theory.

How fringe do you have to be to get the Guardian and FoxNews to agree that you are a nut?
