Dateline Hollywood: Going to Hell?

The question swirling around the film "United 93" -- is it too soon to dramatize the events of 9/11? -- seemed to be answered this weekend, when the movie was No. 2 at the box office (and champ in per-engagement average).

Now, my colleague Ben Fritz's parody site, Dateline Hollywood, is pushing a new question: Is it too soon to parody "United 93" the movie?



They're doing it anyway. Faux movie critic Woody Wittman dives in, criticizing the movie for the blatant United Airlines product placement -- and asking where the comedy or big action stars were. "Tragedy is more relatable when it involves a huge movie star we all know and love," he says.

Check out the review here. Any complaints, Ben's last name is spelled F-R-I-T-Z.
