In Reply to: Good point, but controversial films can still rally the weak minded to hateful anti-social behavior. posted by Audiophilander on August 5, 2003 at 11:56:56:
many movie producers will show their films to a friendly audience, just to keep the bad press at a minimum. Should he have invited Jewish leaders in? I don't see why not, but maybe he had a good reason, or maybe he knew they would huff and puff about it, who knows?I don't know if we should assume the worst about the film just because it wasn't shown to a particular crowd. I hate sounding like a broken record (hey kids, do you remember records?)---but we will continue to go around in circles on this until the movie is at the local plex. (If it ever does, I might say---it's not "Amercian Pie 3" or anything important like that...)
