Comments on: Live in Utah? Wanna See Zack and Miri? Too Bad. http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/live-in-utah-wanna-see-zack-and-miri-too-bad.php A Website About Movies Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Richard http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/live-in-utah-wanna-see-zack-and-miri-too-bad.php/comment-page-1#comment-118301 Richard Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:37:23 +0000 http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/?p=20758#comment-118301 I live in Salt Lake and I thought I should say something. I'm not LDS, or Christian, or religious at all. I've seen a few of these stories about how Zack & Miri Make a Porno isn't being shown in theaters owned by Larry Miller. A great many number of articles seem to present the issue as if these people are telling us we can't see the movie. They're not saying that in any way, only that they feel it is inappropriate, and they won't show the movie. It's their decision and there are plenty of theaters showing the movie in Utah. It won't impact my ability to see the flick at all. If Mr. Miller doesn't want to screen it, he has as much right to that as I have to see it. So I'll go to another movie house, see the flick, eat the popcorn, and not think about it again. Larry will feel he did what he believed in, and we'll both go to bed happy. It was the same thing with Brokeback. We're quickly reaching a point where us liberals are becoming rather un-liberal about a person's rights. Should he be forced to screen a movie he objects to? No. Not anymore than I should be forced to watch a movie about LDS history if I don't want to see it. Give it a rest, angry people. This is such a small inconsequential thing.

No person with a reasonable sense of reason or logic would actually be that stupid to assume a majority, and especially when some money is better than no money at all if they showed it. Religion is bringing down our race as a whole. Their kind are holding us back from global peace and the 'thinking with the brain'. I really do think it's time 'the Rapture' comes and leave Earth with the smart people. (of course, leaving the Earth intact. But hey, 'God' is incapable of such things, so we won't have to worry, will we?) I sleep humbly tonight knowing logic prevails over words in a silly child's book any day.

It's fine if a theater doesn't want to show a movie for whatever reason, that's a business thing. But any R-Rated movie should be able to be shown in any national theater. That's what the R-Rating says. "This film is Rated R, act accordingly." If someone thinks that one R-Rated film is worse than another and acts on it, then why the hell are we rating films anyways?
