A small-town theater owner says he wasn't trying to send Hollywood a message when he shut down for two weeks rather than show box-office leader "Jackass 2" or other new releases that he calls "drivel."

If he's really serious about not showing Hollywood drivel, he should be closed about 95% of the year.

Good on Mr. Boardman.
I loved going to the movies as a kid. I tried to support theaters with my business as an adult, but abandoned them when I became a dad. So much of what they pawn off onto us is just crap. It's a pity for the theater owners (especially the independents) and their employees, but I hold to a simple rule - I don't go where I'm not welcome.
I don't hold much hope for Hollyweird...it can't die soon enough for me.

Has he not received Flyboys, yet? That was very good. Sp was The Illusionist, but maybe he has already showed that.

Yeah, but Jackass goes the extra mile in stupidity.
