Explain that!
very easy to explain - you are erroneously "stacking the deck " by fixating on the one instance in one film where a timepeiece shows 9:11 - and
ignoring he thousands of other films made which do not show 9:11 in any scene where a timepiece is displayed .
a film i am very familiar with is pulp fiction -- in that it is often < incorectly > claimed that " all clocks always read 4:20 "
this is true in certain scenes -- most notably the pawn shop .
but it is
not true in others
Continuity: Captain Koons holds up the watch and it clearly reads 4:35. In the subsequent close-up it reads 12:00.
and
In the "Bonnie Situation" while Jimmy, Vince and Jules are drinking coffee in the kitchen, the clock clearly reads 8:15.
although using typical numerologist hand waving - you could cite :
when Vince and Jules go to retrieve the briefcase, it is "7:22 in the a.m.".
all quotes from IMDB.com
IMHO it is time < pun> to accept that the image of a time peice in a movie - is just a scene setting prop - the director wants to inform the viewer
WHEN a sene is occuring - or how much time has passed since a pfrevious sene
stop reading too much into it
