So you agree with my point.
If we go down that road, it will lead to a bottomless pit. I shudder to think of what “entertainment” will become if this sets a precedent. :-? |
Censorship is not the answer. |
Complete agreement.
Let Moore show the film when he wants to.
This is where having film critics that share your views and perspectives really comes in handy. It solves (sometimes imperfectly, as with everything else) the dilemma of paying to see a film which turns out to be a pile of rot.
Using your chosen critics' reviews to decide whether or not to commit your time (and money, which is what Moore, Gibson, et al are really after) to a particular film allows you to decide a priori whether or not to see it.
The beauty of this (a derivative of a free press) is you don't have to give the film people what they're after (your money), time after time, turkey after turkey, in order for you to make up your mind about whether or not you like a film. Later, once it's on video or TV, you can watch to see if your use of your critics was on target, and if incorrect, make certain adjustments and choices about who your future film critics should be.
So what if there's a delay there, it's only a movie, which is something I wish the public/audiences would keep remembering. Then there are those who immediately have to see what's the latest and greatest. Like
