“I think your energies would be better spent elsewhere, not to mention the fact that lobbying people to avoid a movie you haven’t seen yourself can be perceived as tactless and arrogant.”
So we should spend our money on products that we don’t like and whose makers are openly hostile to that which we hold most dear???
As long as he’s honest about not seeing I don’t perceive it as tactless or arrogant. I take it as someone speaking out for something they believe in. Seems that only the liberals are allowed to speak out tho.
First of all, I never said I believed that it makes one tactless and arrogant, but that it can perceived as such. Much like people went after Bob Dole when he started railing against action movies he'd never seen.
I ran into this constantly when people would ask me about Fahrenheit 9/11. Even though I had a laundry list of reasons that the movie was full of lies and propaganda, I found that many people refused to listen to me because I hadn't seen it myself.
I finally broke down and borrowed it from a friend (so I didn't actually have to contribute money to Michael Moore) and watched it so I didn't keep getting the same "you haven't even seen it" excuse.
