I disagree with most everything claims in loose change.
But I really hope it makes it to theaters and gets a big marketing campaign. Because right now the scientific community doesn't really address 9/11 because it's not worth their time to try and argue against a group of people who will just make up anything they want to believe anything they want. But if it's forced into the public there will be a need for them to speak out so that the general public isn't mislead by the film. So I hope it breaks into the mainstream and becomes well known instead of the underground cult status it now has.

Only if they give all of the proceeds to the families of 9/11. Then they can show it whereever they please and it will still help those who lost a loved one that day.
Loose Change may be garbage in my eyes but damn is it marketable.

From what I have heard, the final cut will be almost totally different than the previous versions, I believe they are focusing on the points that are the hardest to debunk. These may include how the government lied about the deadly dust in the air after the events, and why there is still no reasonable explaination for the collapse of wtc7.

Thats what I'm hoping for. Even if people do not agree with the film, at least they will be able to see a side of the story that the major media outlets refuse to cover seriously.

But those are probably the easiest issues there are. The EPA kept info about the air quality to protect the local businesses. It was a judgment call. It could have been the wrong one, but had they not than most of the people in that area would be out of business and have to live out in the street. Either way it's a disaster and people would suffer. The ultimate cause being the hijackings.
These same guys started a new website for architects and engineers who think 9/11 was an inside job. They list all the engineers and architects that are part of their organization and their degrees and lisc. Do you know what the requirement is for getting listed on the site? That you have a web browser. Go sign up on the site, enter any credentials you want, and press enter. Bam, you are listen as an accredited expert on their web site.
It's a big con. And even if these guys managed to hit a piece of truth, it would simply be coincidence.

IMO, Loose Change doesn't try to mislead or trick you into believing them, it merely presents a different point of view of the events. How is it a big con? They didn't know that when they made the first video that it would get so huge. They didn't ask for all the attention but i believe their intentions are good and they are doing their best job to be fair and honest.

Actually they started out to do a fictional movie about two guys researching 9/11 and found out it was all a giant conspiracy as a student project. During pre-production they decided to drop the fictional story angle and develop a documentary style movie based on their research. Avery doesn't mention anything about if they went in with objectivity or stuck with the predrawn conclusion that it was still a giant conspiracy.

I beleve they will focus only on key topics that are air tight to give debunkers little room for discrediting them.

I'm hoping this film will educate people on the subject and get them thinking if nothing else. Will this movie stir the pot?

This is what gets me, the assumption by the 911 Cult that the sheeple who don't follow the cult are not thinking.
I do think honestly. I have looked at much of the "evidence" and I do not see what the cult claims.

I don't think lying to the people about the conditions was the right thing to do. I also don't believe these people would become homeless from closing their buisnesses down for a few weeks. I would rather lose some money any day if it meant staying healthy.
It's not so much an outright lie as it was withholding information. And whether that is right or wrong depends on the situation. For example you might not tell someone they are fat because you don't want to hurt their feelings, etc. In this case is was a judgment call. Maybe the right one, maybe the wrong one. We'll never know. But the main point being that it's not some diabolical scheme by the government, it was the locals in the area trying to protect themselves. Or are we to believe that the government after destroying these towers didn't have a complete plan unless they managed to kill off a few extra people over the course of a long time in order to finish their evil caper to take over the world?
The intent of the attack was to hurt the economy. keeping the area closed longer would have been more appropriate for that since most everyone there would have lost their businesses. And we're not talking about a couple weeks, we're talking many months. How many people can go hal a year or so and stay in business?
Can you provide a link to this website?
Sorry, I should have provided it earlier, but I figured it was well known (a guess on my part). ae911truth.org...
