Subject: RE: BS: Ban on 'The Wind That Shakes The Barley'
It seems to me that the best way to get people out to the theatres to see a film is to get some people together to protest it in the name of one religion or another. Well, at least that's what seems to work here in the states.
   I first noticed this when the stage production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" was first making it's way to the midwest USA, the hardcore fundamentalists (the local majority) started saying how evil it was, & got interviewed for the tv & newspapers, & by the time it got to Tulsa, every kid in town-including myself-wanted to see it!
Perhaps with enough protesters yelling "don't bring it to our village," The Wind that Shakes the Barley will make it to the less populated areas of so that people can see it & decide for themselves.
