movieguide.org ask Christians to establish a petition to ask Fox Searchlight to not release SHAME Peterlee Oct 27, 17:33

I guess more conservative groups will try to fight against SHAME and NC-17 rating, because SHAME has real chance to help NC-17 to break out {nm} Peterlee Oct 27, 17:37

if you dont like the movie, dont go see it. They probably havent even seen the movie {nm} Moviesnob Oct 27, 17:47

Indeed. {nm} Ruthian23 Oct 27, 17:50

They would never see it, but they would still try to protest it (and NC-17)..... {nm} Peterlee Oct 27, 17:50

I like how the article mentions COURAGEOUS but doesn't say how the filmmakers use their films & message to exploit free labor and talent. {nm} skamanfu Oct 27, 17:59

That's actually called volunteer work. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 27, 19:15

Their description of Black Swan is hilarious {nm} Andre C Oct 27, 18:03

I love that they're directing the petition at Murdoch. I think he's a little occupied these days. Ruthian23 Oct 27, 18:06

Personally, if I was living in the US, I'm not sure whether or not I would sign that petition. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 27, 18:07

If you don't want to support the movie, then don't see it. Pretty simple. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 27, 19:11

Yes, I know that, but it does sound like a double standard is being upheld here (on both sides)... accountant_4_Jesus Oct 27, 19:22

The difference here is no one is sending around a petition to pull Courageous from theaters. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 27, 19:27

You do have a point there. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Oct 27, 19:29

But I agree with your larger point, the world needs more tolerance from all places. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 27, 20:14

I wasn't deliberately talking about tolerance, more consistency in the application of each person's thoughts/beliefs. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 27, 20:44

I don't see a double standard at all. There's a difference between criticising art and criticising values. RogerMore Oct 27, 22:40

Thanks for that article, Roger. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 28, 00:45

Another area where people can't decide for themselves. {nm} grammar Oct 27, 19:03

Sigh. It's called "bullying," even if it's done by the members of a large book club. {nm} second gary Oct 27, 19:19

So there are no sex-addicted Christians? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 22:17

You'd be surprised how many there are, actually. It's just not publicised much, because people are ashamed to admit it. accountant_4_Jesus Oct 27, 23:50

Absolutely ridiculous. If you don't like a movie, don't watc it. Don't impose your views on others. Disgraceful {nm} numbersix_99 Oct 28, 00:55

Go on! Hope the petition works in this case {nm} HarryWarden Oct 28, 08:15
