You DONÕT have freedom of speech if *someone else* determines what you can say and what you can not say.
WeÕre not talking about censoring profanity here, were talking about censoring ideas and information.
In the media, we donÕt have freedom of speech we have corporate approved speech.

He is the same guy who blasted Cheney and bush on the Senate floor and had the large chart depicting a chickenhawk.

"obviously you can't go from theater to theater with a DVD" and Michael said "I'll load up the van and do just that if I have to".

From what I read of the NYT article yesterday, it seems MM and/or Miramax are free to shop around for another distributor. And ABC News this evening reported that someone accused MM of creating this "story" to attract distributors, but that MM said that wasn't true, but that the phones have been ringing off the hook.
So I think another distributor will pick it up - just would have liked to hear MM say that himself...
Thanks for the report.
:D

15. I wish that Mike would do the distro himself and |
|
invite DUers and others to invest in the project will a chance to profit. This would be capitalism at it's best. A local grass roots supported distribution of a film that may end up a global sucess.

Could he do what Google is doing? I would be thrilled to buy shares. I think it would be a good investment.
Sometimes we forget that WE are 51% of the country.

11. Will the film make money? That is the crux. |
|
If so, it will show .. and soon. We are, after all, talking about an industry that would shame whores. Fuck the politics. This is all foreplay and KY.

12. They are just trying to keep it out of the Cineplex |
|
but they can't stop it from being released. It sucks if they succeed from getting onto many screens, but if anything, Hollywood is consistently interested in a film with buzz, so someone will likely find a way to distribute it.
