    Yes. It's been doing that for awhile.

    But Josh, plenty of us have commented on Miller's right to show what he wants at his privately owned business. Do you care to comment on the hypocrisy we've brought up? You don't have to circle the wagons every time someone in Utah does something, you know.

    It's not a lie. It's a LIE. All caps.

    Semantic argument only. And I'm on Josh's side with this one. I never watch Desperate Housewives, but it would be silly to say I've banned the show from my house.

    I used to be a big Kevin Smith fan but kinda lost interest around the "Jersey Girl/Gigli" era. (I know "Gigli" isn't a KS movie but they're connected by the whole "Bennifer" fiasco.)

    This also happened years ago with the movie "Sami and Rosie Get Laid." If you're not familiar, it was an indie Brit comedy that probably didn't play beyond the art houses (and AFAIK was never advertised on US TV), but even here in NY the print ads had the "get laid" excised from them.

    No, I don't think so. Some business people make decisions contrary to their best interests (such as this one) for personal purposes (such as religion).

    All I can say is, I'm glad I don't live in Utah (not that I care about seeing this particular movie, in any case, but I prefer to have my personal freedoms unimpinged thanks).

    ***The headline of this thread is misleading if not an outright LIE.***

    Who cares? Why are you so threatened by it? Obviously it bothers you a great deal, you even started some other thread to make fun of it.

    Why?
