This past weekend I dusted off my LaserDisc copy of AIR FORCE ONE and watched it for the first time since about 1998, probably around that time since it came out in 1997 and I got around to seeing it the year after. I know it seems primitive that I own the LaserDisc, but it's actually one of the last films issued on the format and still has better sound than the Dolby Digital on the DVD and could go a few rounds with the DTS on the Superbit disc, but does not have quite as good of picture as that issue.

Anyway, after watching this film about terrorist on a place and Air Force One at that....it really had new meaning for me in a Post-9/11 America. Especially since much of the film centers around Harrison Ford's Presidental character who "does not negotiate with terrorists". Too bad GW Bush is not near the President that Harrison Ford is...

Anyway, I always find it fascinating when movies take on new meaning and have new ironic moments with the passing of time and how some films seem to almost predict the future, while others miss the mark completely. So I say...

What would President Ford do? (anyone get the SCARY MOVIE 3 reference?).

Cany anyone think of other examples of movies, songs, etc where new meaning evolved with the passing of time??? Do share.
