Good grief! A business decision not to show the film is the owner's right. What if they are an independent theatre and don't have the funds for a lawsuit .. are you going to call them appeasers just because you're too lazy to order a copy of the video ..??
C'mon people - please act like you're civilized.
That is very good advice ..
"Good grief! A business decision not to show the film is the owner's right."
Albeit this is true, the issue here is not necessarily the unknown reason(s) for cancelling the film. In my thinking it has more to do with the double standard of these people. I would imagine there were also protests about the showing of F/911. I'm curious as to whether this same owner showed fatman Moore's hypocumentary.
Wow, a business decision. Seems to me that a theatre owning IS NOT liable for the content of the films it shows. If it was, I would sue the theatre everytime a sex-filled, violence-laden preview before a film that is targetted to youth. I'd be laughing all the way to the bank.
This theatre made a calculated decision that it would receive more publicity, more revenue by creating a controversy and caving to the modern day BrownShirts. It's not about a business decision, it's about that allows its decisions to be made due to political pressure. This is why there was a first amendment created.
Whether or not I order a copy, the word 'appeasement' fits fairly well, I'd say!
Maybe you like the word 'capitulation' better?
