Censorship based on personal opinion at its finest! You will see what I mean by the last sentence!!

From Yahoo.com

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. - The owner of two Kentucky theaters has refused to show the new Jane Fonda film "Monster-in-Law" because of the activist role the actress took during the Vietnam War.

Ike Boutwell, who trained pilots during the Vietnam War, displayed pictures of Fonda clapping with a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft crew in 1972 outside the Elizabethtown Movie Palace to show his disapproval. The marquee outside Showtime Cinemas in nearby Radcliff reads: "No Jane Fonda movie in this theater."

Both theaters are just a few miles from the Army post of Fort Knox, south of Louisville.

"I think when people do something, they need to be held responsible for their actions," Boutwell said. "When you give the enemy aid, it makes the war last longer."

Fonda has apologized for being photographed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun, but not for opposing the war.

"Monster-in-Law" raked in more than $23 million last weekend as the top-grossing movie across the country, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. and Nielsen EDI Inc. In the film, Fonda plays Jennifer Lopez's villainous prospective mother-in-law, trying to stop Lopez from marrying her son.

Sal Mancuso, an Elizabethtown resident, said he personally thanked Boutwell for not showing the film.

"I think Vietnam veterans appreciate this," said Mancuso, who fought in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam war. "There is no defense for what she did."

Boutwell also banned previous Jane Fonda films, as well as Michael Moore's film, "Fahrenheit 9/11."

to the owner of the theaters!

As it is a privately owned theater, he does retain the right to not show films as he chooses. Technically, I wouldn't call that censorship. Idiocy, perhaps.

Is there a law as to what he can or can not show, or a mandate that says he must adhere to a certain movie schedule? He doesnt like, he doesnt show it. Sounds good to me.

What a moron.. I wonder if he turns off the TV every time Bush is on.. I mean heaven forbid that he should have to watch some scumbag on TV that dodged the draft and went AWOL for his cushy national guard duties.

I am totally against censorship, and I do not agree with what this guy did. However, I do feel he has the right to run his private business however he sees fit, including which films he will or will not show.

I don't think there's a need to ban Fonda...she did apologize for her actions..as far as the war goes ...I'm not getting into that with anyone here..

Pleasurepays · 05-18-2005, 08:17 AM

funny that when people agree with something and others disagree... they start talking about "freedom" and "democracy" and constitutional rights to defend their views.... and when they disagree with what is happening, they talk about censorship and taking away freedoms etc etc.

people are ignorant. politics equally so.

She apologized for one singular act and that was for having herself photographed sitting on an NVA Anti Aircraft Weapon.

Did your boy George ever apologize for not showing up for duty, while less fortunate poor boys died for our country in his place?

John Kerry voted for it, before he voted against it.

for this guy

Tom_PM · 05-18-2005, 08:41 AM

He can do what he wants in his own business.

Whats more curious is why they covered it in the news to the point that it made yahoo's top list, lmao. I mean, who cares? It's like reporting on shows that a popular sports bar refuses to play on their TV's.

CDSmith · 05-18-2005, 08:43 AM

Selectivism yes, censorship... no. Censorship would be if the film was banned outright, but in this case people in that area are free to go see the film at another theatre.

Okay, selectivism isn't a word, but it OUGHT to be. :D

Manowar · 05-18-2005, 08:51 AM

he looses money by not showing it when it was the top grossing film that weekend.

Being a dickhead over profit, priceless
