Some things we do - or don't do - are meant to send the message to Hollywood... OK, not just Hollywood, but also the whole distribution chain.Today Hollywood seems to be on a mission. Some people there believe they can push their favorite subjects on the public with impunity. In that situation I think it is important to push back - by refusing to see their stuff, as I don't think they are qualified to be our mind controllers - something they are certainly attempting. Hollywood is INCREDIBLY sensitive to the bottom line, and that is where we can hit back.
While there IS some similarity between the case you cited and the one here, there is also great difference. "Foreign movies" encompass so much more than any particular genre that by refusing to see them one severely limits his scope. After all, as I usually say, about 95% of the world is "foreign" to Americans. There are "foreign" films on pretty much ANY subject one might wish to see or investigate.
Also, there certainly has not been any particular "push" behind them, no agenda, no mission.
Things are different with gay movies. Many consider their promotion extremely in your face, and there is good reason for that. Such active promotion calls for active push back, if one disagrees with it.
So in this particular case the position the poster took does get legitimacy.
