Because there are certainly no conspiracies with the release of a movie!

Oh brother. Watch the hype machine! In "The Adventures in the Screen Trade" legendary scribe William Goldman told a story about how Harvard University was involved with the false release of information for the sake of hyping a movie. His point was that if they could be involved, anyone could.
Remember when Sally Field portrayed that woman who married a Muslim man and she wanted to get her daughter back? (Not Without My Daughter) Just prior to opening, a studio exec for that movie claimed that he had received bomb and death threats from a Muslim group. Everyone in LA was highly skeptical about it -- even the radio broadcaster said -- "supposedly received these death threats."

Excellent book, movie, and cast - Road Warrior 11:16:57 05/27/11 (0)
Alfred Molina was scary good as the Muzzie husband. Sally Field's character should have known better than to go to that godforsaken spithole back then. We saw it again a few months ago, still very powerful.

Another true, very good, made for the boob tube movie that shows how screwed up the Muzzies in Iran were/are, is On Wings of Eagles. It's the story of the rescue of one of Ross Perot's employees who was unjustly imprisoned in Iran. Edge of yer seat suspense and a terrific acting job by Burt Lancaster who played a true American hero, Col. Bull Simons. In this case, the book was much better.
