P.S. In about a month, it'll be out on video, and then you can rent it for only 4 or 5 bucks.

But why? Even if I was a movie buff and loved lighting, editing, and such, but don't care for the plot, why should I give my money to Hollywood. That is an endorsement that I like the story and plot. This gives Hollywood the impression and the motivation to make more movies in this genre, which I don't like.

If you weant to speak intelligently about a movie, rather than come off as a hypocritical ignoramus, you have to fork over the money and see it. Otherwise, your comments reflect only on yourself, and not on the movie.

You just don't get it, do you? If I fork over the money, as you say, I am telling Hollywood that I want more movies with this type of social message which I don't agree with.

Secondly, I am not hypocritical because I'm not pretending I saw the movie and the name calling reflects on you, not me. I know what the movie is about from all of the reviews, commentary, and the hoopla, and I don't want to see it.

Thirdly, why should I listen to you to and see the film? Why does the "see the film" crowd have any more weight than the "don't see the film" crowd? Many in the "don't see the film" crowd have seen the film and don't recommend it?
