The bait-and-switch is a common method that Hollywood uses to get people to attend its "agenda masquerading as entertainment" movies.

The Cider House Rules, The Crying Game, The Hours, Million Dollar Baby, etc., etc.

Oh yeah, and American Beauty.

It is not wrong to have an agenda, but when it is constantly force fed on a daily consistent basis, and no other agenda is tolerated, that's when vomiting occurs. I for one am sick of the homo-genda, that is continually stuffed down our throats at every movie or flick of the channel. I have stopped watching any sick-coms and I always screen... no I think I like the word censor,... anything that my family watches. These are sick days, and now the Hollywood Fruit society is sticking Elton Homo in our faces. Best advice,... don't give them your money,and flip the switch.

In the case of MDB and The Crying Game the entire plot was centered around a 'secret' that couldn't be revealed in advertising. Both films were ridiculously overrated btw. And with the other two I guess they just assumed people who had read the best selling novels or had heard about them would know the subject matter. If it's about Virginia Woolf...
