I mean no disrespect but this will have very little impact.

Actually, you're wrong. Boycotts have hurt Disney in the past, in spite of their denials. Why do you think they backed out of the distribution deal with Moore? They knew a financial loser when they saw it and are still trying to rebuild their rep.

Big difference. That was one large company boycotted by a large group. Boycotting one theatre by one person even if done in parallel by a bunch of FReepers scattered throughout the U.S. is essentially peeing in the wind. Not saying you shouldn't do it. I would just want to hear about more effective means in addition to this that's all. A large group of people picketting a single theatre, for example, would be more effective. I'm not saying boycotts per se are not effective, just the style of boycott as originally posted.
