3. Let's say a company makes a product you like. And a product you don't like.
Isn't boycotting the product you don't like, and buying the product you do like just as effective as boycotting everything?

5. I don't like the parent company so I should boycott all of their products. Otherwise,
buy paying for the product I like, I'm essentially supporting the product I don't.

10. Buying the product you like would still be contributing to the profit of the company in question...

In this case, it's really an all-or-nothing tack one must take.

6. What do you think they will do with that hard earned money of yours?
It will likely contribute to keeping Beck on the air, or pay for one of the Faux News bimbos to get a boob job or something.

11. If the message of the movie is progressive, pro-environmental, anti-empire, I see no reason not to,
however if you don't want to send him too much, wait until it comes out on DVD.
