I'm listening to Ron and Fez on the radio, and they just asked a question that totally made me giggle.

What movie would they be showing in your Hell?

If I went to Hell, and they shoved me into the movie theater, House of 1000 Corpses would be playing on a continuous loop. And just for good measure, Kenneth Turan from the LA Times would sit next to me and talk about film, and I'd have to agree with every bloody thing he said.

I'd go nuts in less than ten minutes. Five if I had to share my popcorn with the moron.

EDIT: Ooo, and like Ron just said ... Pay It Forward. Damn, did that movie make me want to bash my head in with a plank of wood. The good part was, I could have used Haley Joel Osment's performance.

SON OF EDIT: Ron and Fez are interviewing a guy from Move Ahead America about their attempts to get American theaters not to show "Fahrenheit 9/11". I'll give him credit ... when he's not getting really into his points (when he starts to ramble a bit condescendingly), he's making a good argument for his side.

NAUGHTY MISTRESS OF EDIT: Okay, he really needs to make blaming Michael Moore for everything ever, 'cause otherwise his argument's not bad.

I think what appealed to me (although I agree with you, of course) is that the way he put it was that he wasn't trying to censor the film, but rather to persuade the theater owners not to show it.

Heh. Protesting a film doesn't mean you make it impossible for anyone else to see it or hear it. This is exactly like the idiot students who make so much noise, they drown out the voices of right-wing speakers who have been invited to speak at their college, under the guise of (their own) freedom of speech. Preventing another from voicing his opinion is NOT freedom of speech; never has been, never will be. This guy is obviously trying to censor the film, he's just putting a nice little uber-PC spin on it.
