I don't think the ol' Smith man cares as evident in this clip  | ||

That's hilarious  You think any of the other protesters even realized their enemy was amongst them. | ||
| Oddball |
That's funny, join the protesters of your movie.  | ||

I'm going to a Yamaha store today and look at motorcycles, quick somebody take a picture! | ||

I love that bit. If you haven't seen it, catch "An evening with Kevin Smith." A clip or two- first is him telling about his protest. Compilation of his speaking at colleges. First I saw of him doing this. (Message edited by miamiuly on October 31, 2008) | ||

I live in Utah. I hate pretty much every minute of it. I'm high tailin' it out of this state as soon as they hand me my degree in December. | ||
| Hdbobwithabuell |
Banned? WTF about the 1st amendment? Hate to tell you Utah, your address is still USA | ||
| Gschuette |
That doesn't mean a privately owned movie theater can't pick and choose what movies it shows. The owners are annoying for sure but that hardly violates any bill of rights amendments. | ||
| Froggy |
+1 Gschuette. Only one hurting from this is that theater, everyone will go across town instead. I love how they screwed up and started showing Sex Drive instead of a kids movie! | ||
| Hdbobwithabuell |
I'm an idiot, I only saw the headline "'Zack and Miri' Banned in Utah" | ||
| Froggy |
Your not an idiot. The paper is for a missleading headline. While true it is banned in Utah, just at some crappy chain. In fact, there are 2 theaters in Salt Lake City, with several nearby that have it showing http://google.com/movies?near=salt+lake+city,+utah &sc=1&mid=dec5fa0c1739e12c | ||

Spidey and Miami, those are great clips, thanks for including them. | ||

Not counting late night programming, the movie's subtitle "make a porno" hasn't been included in tv ads for a while now. If it wasn't for the controversy I probably wouldn't pay to see it. | ||

It looks like a dumb movie much like Knocked Up. The movie company has the right to produce whatever they can get through the censors and think will sell. Conversely, the owner of the theater has the right not to show that movie in his theaters. Seems the rights are all in harmony. If a business owner chose not to sell Chinese products in his store, would you be as incensed? What if a Church refuses to marry homosexual couples? It isn't censorship. It's free choice. | ||
| Tramp |
Eaxctly, this is NOT censorship...it's about free will... and being tight-puckerholed freaks. | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Yes, but free willed tight-puckerholed freaks. If I refuse to buy a Dixie Chicks CD, it isn't censorship. It's me exercising my free will as a consumer. I'm not refusing to watch this film because of it's content. I'm refusing to spend $9 on silly movie. I'd rather ride for the 150 miles the $9 would buy me. | ||
| Tramp |
Well, then, that, clearly goes for all movies, these days. A question of random economics as opposed to targeted content issue. I rarely catch movies in theatres anymore- and I know few who do. Speaking of which- Ever watch Rocky Horror on DVD/VCR, etc.? Really a preternatural experience without all of the sexually-repressed nerds throwing toilet paper at the screen..... | ||
| Tramp |
...which is to say, Ft_bstrd, that I agree with you... 100% | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
The local theater ran Friday Night showings of HRPS every week. In addition, the theater also had a liquor license. It simply isn't the same WITHOUT the local color. Somehow screaming "where's your fuqqin' neck" at the tv by yourself just isn't the same. | ||
| Tramp |
...was a great way to pick up slutty girls, in the early '80s..... | ||
| Ft_bstrd |
Or slutty guys in lingerie. If you're into that kind of thing. | ||
| Froggy |
Tramp, the nerds and TP are the best part! Last time I went to one a piece of toast landed on my head. | ||
| Tramp |
I hear ya- the last time i went, a piece of head landed on my.... gosh, look at th'time... | ||

Littlebuggles- This clip is awesome too. Superman Script. |
