Well PRAISE JESUS and its about time that some of these Movie Picture Theater owners said "Enough is enough!" to the jews in Hellywood. THIS brave owner did just that, and more power to him!
Thank God we don't have this problem here in Freehold. The Bijou has been showing "The Passions of the Christ" and that old classic "Birth of a Nation" on alternate Saturday nights for years. No reason to mess with what works.
U.S. theater owner shuts down rather than screening 'drivel'
HOOPESTON, Illinois A small-town theater owner says he was not trying to send Hollywood a message when he shut down for two weeks rather than show box-office leader "Jackass 2" or other new releases that he calls "drivel."
But even if accidental, Greg Boardman's blank-screened protest is getting a thumbs up from movie-goers who long for family fare and jeers from others who say his theaters are one of the few diversions — especially for children — in this farming town of about 6,000 people.
Offerings such as "Beerfest" and the "Jackass" sequel briefly landed a "Closed" sign on the marquee outside Boardman's Lorraine Theatre.
"The movies are so bad and I don't need the money ... I just didn't think I should use my high-quality facilities to show people vomiting on screen," said Boardman, whose theaters boast a high-tech, eight-channel digital sound system.
"Jackass" features Johnny Knoxville and his gang performing crazy stunts and antics, often involving self-inflicted pain; "Beerfest" revolves around fictional siblings who participate in an Olympics-style drinking competition.
