I found out the other day that the movies Brokeback Mountain and Capote about the life of Truman Capote are not being played in theaters in the south. The closest place they are playing them is Ashville and Charolotte, NC. I live in SC and I just don't think that is right. They are stereotyping southern people....why!?! Because they think we can't handle these movies...that we're too ignorant for these movies!?! I just don't understand. What do yall think?
They're banned because you're all redneck homophobes.

Redneck homophobes? I admit, some people are, but some people aren't. You can't judge the south and call all of them reckneck homophobes.

It was probably a marketing thing. They realized those movies probably wouldn't make very much down there, so they just nixed them from the list. Big deal. You wanna see it? Download it.
many southern theater chains didnt carry Brokeback because they didnt need the contraversy or the boycotts. they also didnt want there theaters ransacked or defaced. the decision was left to the public and various angry mothers groups, nationalists and disorganized rabble decided that Donnie Darko making out with a cowboy wasnt for them. to be honest you arent missing much, the film isnt all its cracked up to be, as for Capote, the same groups decided they didnt want a film about a press legend identifying with serial killers. now i really enjoyed Capote, but in your little corner of the earth my dear, art is the new black person to be lynched as soon as it gets upedy or starts demanding to be treated like it should be.
