I don't mean to be hard on anybody. Let me put it another way."what makes them want to see some and not others are all pertinent issues here"
I would agree, but if those reasons are superficial and insipid, I don't care to hear about them.
As an example, my sister will not go to see any foreign language movies. Period. I have argued with her, but she is adamant. And as you realize, most Americans will not go to see foreign language movies.
Now when a foreign language movie comes out, are we to be subjected to: "I'm an English-speaking American and not interested in foreigners who don't speak English."
This may be true for many people, but I know it already and don't need to hear it over and over. Similarly, everyone knows there are many people who will avoid a gay-themed movie. It's not news. It's not interesting, at least not to me.
