Yet who is upset at all the free speech celebrating the fate of this particular film? YOU are.

I'm not upset about anything. I just think you're wasting your time with this, just like I thought the Harry Potter boycotters were wasting their time.

YOU are the one labeling people as arrogant and tasteless.

The word I used was tactless, meaning if someone says to me, "Don't see this movie, and it sucks" and yet they haven't seen it, its safe to say that person has little tact.

The number and volume of your posts belie that assertion. Why are you expending all this energy telling us we're wasting our energy enjoying the failure of an evil film? Why all the sturm and drang over nothing?

Meaning what? That it's impossible to know something is evil based on the author's claims about what he's trying to do? By your logic, I'm not qualified to advise someone to avoid a carcinogen because I've never had cancer.

“The word I used was tactless, meaning if someone says to me, “Don’t see this movie, and it sucks” and yet they haven’t seen it, its safe to say that person has little tact.”

I find it hard to believe that in your entire life you’ve never made a decision on seeing/not seeing a movie based on third party scuttlebutt, or ever said the phrase, “The reviews said it stinks(or similar adjective)” to another person.

If I am wasting my time, then how come no one is going to see the movie? The emails/word of mouth/Pulpit messages about GC have been going out for months.
—End result: Box office flop.
I would call this an ASTOUNDING SUCCESS, not a waste of time.

Bottom line: People of faith rule, atheists drool.
