1. That isn't "censorship" |
|
Heck, whole chains may choose not to show the film - and that still isn't censorship.
But you're right - he's a jerk.

2. I'm not sure I'd label this censorship. |
|
It just dosen't pass that test in my itty-bitty beain. Might be because I was expecting you to tell me that a part of it had been cut out or something similar.

3. Who OWNS this theater? |
|
This guy sounds like he's just a low-paid manager. If so, he reports up to someone who cares more about the financial bottom line than about bad politics. He should be reported up to the owner of the chain. Unless the owner is not only a die-hard repug, but also a complete idiot, he will want the revenue that film will bring in.

4. The redneck theatre I went to did not have the name of the movie outside |
|
the theatre. It only had 'coming attraction' film poster up. People couldn't figure out where it was being shown.
