I am biting at the bit to see this film When I sent an e-mail to local theater, I was told this film was trash and the general manager was qualified to decide what people should and should not be allowed to see! Do I live in Russia??? Here is the e-mail string so you know I am not kidding:
Comments:
Can SOMEONE please stop censoring the films available to us and bring MILK to
the theatre? Are you that conservative?
This film has an Oscar nominee (Sean Penn) and some of us would like to have the
option of seeing this film. It's been out a month now - what are you waiting
for?

And the response I received:
Frank,
It is our belief that presenting trash like this does not in anyway contribute to a constructive debate on modern politics. After spending many months in this business, I feel that I am most qualified to determine exactly what the general public should and should not be allowed to see.
This is not the same answer you will receive from other chains in the area, but is is the most honest.
However unqualified you feel we may be in making these decisions, you sir, are even less so qualified to do so.

Am I overreacting or is this guy as full-of-shit as I think he is?
